OM DENNE EPISODE
In this this episode of EvelChat I speak with someone who offers a great tale of performance coaching as therapist/S&C professional/coach/career savior... his name is Luis Mesquita.
Rather than list the topics we discuss, this time I'm just going to say that this is a story any coach or performance professional will find enlightening. Luis found himself in a position of having to take over the entire programming/coaching/rehabilitation responsibilities for Susana Costa, a world class female triple jumper late in her career, a responsibility he still holds. It's a great story of common sense coaching practice & implementation in a special circumstance, leading to a number of career high performances at an age when most athletes would be long retired.
Luis Mesquita (Portugal) is a Physiotherapist & Strength & Conditioning Coach. He is a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (CSCS - NSCA). He is also co-owner of THE PEAK (Performance Training Facilities) in Portugal & Britain.
