EPISODE 33: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Simon Strachan of GAINLINE Analytics
Listen now
Description
Eddie Jones talks about it, Scott Robertson swears by it and cohesion has certainly been a frequently mentioned topic across all sports lately, but GAINLINE Analytics is a company that has devoted itself to using cohesion to search for that elusive answer of what makes teams successful. With the success of our previous episodes "The C Word", we talk to the other half of GAINLINE Analytics founding partnership, Simon Strachan. Simon is also a former Wallabies performance video analyst and schoolboy rugby coach and now spends considerable time working with some of the world's leading sporting organisations on how they can use cohesion analytics to create solid governance structures that will influence on field performance. We talk about his rugby journey from the Barossa Valley to Philadelphia and then Melbourne, how a chance opportunity to film Wallabies training sessions took him to the inner sanctum of a British and Irish Lions series, review the recent Super Rugby Pacific teams and competitions from around the world and of course look at what this week's Wallabies v England match up could mean for both teams with a World Cup less than 20 games away! Dig in!
