Pacey Performance Podcast - A podcast by Robert Pacey - Thursdays

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Head of Performance at Catalan Dragons, Rich Hunwicks. Rich is someone I have got to know very well over the last 2 years with his involvement at the Rugby Football League while I was working with Catapult. Rich is such a genuine guy and very well respected in the world of rugby league in both the UK and Australia. This episode has been a long time coming but I was so glad to get it done and have a really good chat. If you are interested in rugby league, episodes with Andrew Gray, Lachlan Wilmot and Paul Devlin may also be of interest. Enjoy this episode with Rich Hunwicks.
