#013 - Ryan Thomas - Can Anyone Become An MMA Fighter?

Welcome back to the podcast! Today, my guest is Ryan Thomas. He's the owner of Cumbria Combat Sports, MMA coach, and co-founder of Peak Performance Coaching and the Peak Performance Podcast.

Ryan tells me his 5 essential survival exercises if he were to be stranded on a desert island, what makes a good coach, and data-driven approaches to sports programming.

We also delve into Ryan’s journey through combat sports, what it takes to be a fighter, if anyone can take up MMA, resilience and the risks of traumatic brain injuries aka CTE in combat sports,

If like me you like to geek out about all things training and fitness - you're gonna like this one.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ryan Thomas.
