Boxing Analyst for Anthony Joshua! - Chris Connelly (EIS & England Boxing) - #10

In this video, I chat with Chris Connelly who has spent years working with some of the top British boxers to help them analyse and improve their performances. In fact, this video was recorded just before Chris moved from an analyst role at the English Institute of Sport, to Head of Performance at England Boxing. Chris has also been fortunate to travel all over the world with his job including working with Anthony Joshua! Chris gives some great advice, explains his journey and we chat analysis of fights, progression for an analyst and much, much more!
