During this episode, we talk all about the realm of high-performance and what it takes to cultivate and foster a high-performing environment. There is plenty to discuss about data and metrics within sport, and Jamie shares his insight on when and where analyzing stats is or isn't impactful to overall progress.With experience across the board from his 14+ years with New Zealand Rugby, as head of athletic performance & Strength & Conditioning with the Black Ferns, as the director of coaching at XLR8 Sports Training for 23 years & counting, or as a Sports Performance Director at VX Sport for 16 years +. Jamie has worked with the refs, the players, the up & comers, not only in Rugby – there’s also netball, cricket, softball, and more. Jamie gives back in so many ways beyond coaching, one being his freelance work with WeAreManaaki – a free support network uplifting the mana of small NZ businesses.
