In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I am speaking to Assistant Director of Player Development at San Francisco Giants, Geoff Head. Geoff has been at the Giants for over 10 years, working as Strength & Conditioning Coordinator, Sports Scientist and now into his current role. It was great to hear of the development of sports science and S&C over the last 10 years as well as chatting about Geoff's priority of ensuring interdepartmental staff integration with field staff and medical staff to operate as a complete unit. Hope you enjoy this episode with Geoff Head.
