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.
