This episode has the answers. In this episode of the David Grey Rehab Podcast, I welcome John Noonan, a strength and conditioning coach with 15 years of experience ranging from private clients to Premier League Footballers and Olympians.
Tune in as we talk about the intricate training methods behind Formula 1 and Formula 2 motorsports professionals, the power of neck and breath training, business tactics, and much more.
You’ll gain loads of insight into the strategies and psychology of training Formula 1 athletes, the busy schedule of practicing and racing, and what activities and techniques really make a difference in racers’ performance.
“We’re not gonna try and make you 10% fitter or 10% stronger. You’re fit enough. Of course, we can keep pushing those margins… but we’re not gonna spend an extra hour a week on that if we think the return is minimum”, John Noonan.
