Australia’s most popular and commercially successful sport, AFL has attracted significant international attention for its cutting edge use of technology and performance support systems over recent years. AFL’s coaches are widely recognised as some of the most progressive in the world and John is amongst the avant-garde of this new innovative breed. He’s set to join the Leaders Sport Performance Summit to talk about how he and his staff are building a team of world class athletes at the Swans, and developing and motivating them to achieve consistent peak performance.
He commented: “Developing talent is a vital aspect of performance and I look forward to sharing my experiences with a group of practitioners who share my commitment to developing performance.”
James Worrall CEO, Leaders: “Behind every elite athlete lies a team of professionals working to ensure they perform at their best. Flying in from Australia to join us for the Summit, John will provide a really interesting glimpse into the world of coaching, drawing on his earlier experiences as a professional AFL player and his current role as a successful coach.”
