Hey everyone, I'm Vancouver Radio, episode number one four, five, and I believe I've got it correct

this time. A lot of the recent shows, it is shown that my maths is poor, because I haven't got any of the show numbers right.

Anyway that doesn't matter what matters is the content now there's been a bit of a running joke

on the podcast for a while that I like to say I play rugby and I know it's a bit funny and stuff but the problem

is I bring it into so many you know context of the situations that we're talking about and

kind of bringing it back to how I do things, my

nutrition, the relevance of conditioning and training from sport and stuff.

Anyway, the last slightly rugby-related show we had was with James Haskell. We've done two shows

of James Haskell now. Fantastic guest, brilliant guy. I've got a bit of a rugby

slanted podcast today. Now we won't be talking about rugby or the rules because I don't

know people pass the ball backwards that's confusing enough as it is. What we will

be talking about is the kind of conditioning of sports athletes, the kind of way people do things in athletic clubs, and just to kind of give you an inside track on what happens at the elite level and to do that my guess today is

Dave Cripps Dave hello I Ben thanks having me sir you are welcome, I didn't want to introduce you in case we're not allowed to kind of say like where you've worked from if there's any kind of

of PC stuff.

Are we allowed to share like who you've worked for and your kind of history because I want to know all that stuff.

Yeah by all means yeah definitely.

All right Dave give us give us the history, tell us who you are, where you're from, what you've done, how cool you are.

I'll do my best.

So in a nutshell, I started out and did the whole university thing, sports science degree, everything like that.

Decided I wanted to go into strength and conditioning, realized that you need a shed load of experience.

So I started working as hard as I possibly could, contacted everyone left Rowan and sent us to try and get experience, which I did.

And then really spent two years at Mosley Rugby Club, where I worked with their Conventonine teams, just get as much experience as I could.
