Welcome episode 3 of The Untapped Potential Podcast with today’s guest Keir Wenham-Flatt Anyone who knows Keir will know he has some strong perspectives with regard to performance sport, which is why I wanted to bring his voice to the podcast. Keir has a vast amount of experience as a strength & conditioning coach across many elite environments, most notably in professional rugby. From NRL, Argentina Rugby, & Japanese Rugby, and stints at American universities. He also founded, built and now sold the very successful Strength Coach Network. However, this is NOT why I wanted to talk with him. What You'll Learn In this episode, we dive into the non-technical aspects of performance. We discuss some of Keir’s struggles in his career, how he’s navigated his struggles and what he sees as the next steps we need to take as practitioners to evolve our environments into ones that utilise our full potential. This is a side of Keir you may not have seen before, which is why I feel it's a powerful episode of the Untapped Potential Podcast.
