In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, I have the pleasure in speaking to Vice President of Performance at UFC Performance Institute, Duncan French. Duncan has worked with Olympic athletes in Taekwondo, Premiership footballers at Newcastle United, Division 1 Collegiate athletes at Notre Dame and now fighters at the UFC. With this unbelievable CV, it was an honor to get Duncan on the podcast to chat about his past in previous sports, but mainly to discuss the phenomenon which is the UFC.
