Aled Walters

Head of Athletic Performance at Munster Rugby

Adam Sheehan

Strength and Conditioning Coach at Munster Rugby

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast I have the pleasure in speaking to 2 guys who I have got to know a lot over the last 12 months, Aled Walters and Adam Sheehan, both at Munster Rugby. Aled is Head of Athletic Performance while Adam is Strength & Conditioning Coach but also a genius when it comes to monitoring the guys with GPS. Munster have a HUGE game this weekend against Scarlets in the Pro12 final so it was great to catch these guys before the big day.

In this episode you will learn –

  • Who are Aled Walters and Adam Sheehan (background, education and current roles)
  • Last year compared to this year (2 sites and how that impacted training and the culture)
  • Developing a culture in a rugby club
  • What you learned from your time in Australia and New Zealand
  • In-season conditioning for rugby
  • Integrating GPS into practice
