Athletic Development and Coaching in the NRL with Graeme Morris - Petey Performance Podcast #134Description
Joining the conversation this week is Graeme Morris. Graeme is an Athletic Development Coach & leads the Rehab program at NRL powerhouse, Wests Tigers.
This is Graeme’s second appearance on the podcast, so we had a lot to talk about, as we sat down in the Tigers’ facility for a conversation about all things to do with his role, the coaching team and the amazing culture at the Tigers!
With the competitive season on the horizon, we spoke about what excites Graeme the most about waking up for work every morning and his aspirations for the season ahead.
Graeme also leads the speed and agility portion of the Tigers’ program, so we spent some time conversing about what he’s been interested by and has been observing of late.
We delve into the art of tailoring training to the individual, while never losing sight of the team's overarching game plan.
It's a delicate dance of precision and adaptability, and we offer a peek behind the curtain of what it takes to keep an elite rugby league squad at its peak, both physically and psychologically.
But beyond the field, we chart Graeme’s personal journey over the last couple of years as he’s transitioned from working for himself, to landing his dream job in team-sport.
If you’re a coach or athlete involved in team-sport, then this episode should have some nuggets of wisdom within the incredibly real conversation we had!
What a way to kick off season 4!
