S1E07: Connection, Belonging and Space Lead to Success in Complex Environments with Jack Nayler
Jack’s career path has been pretty unconventional. He is currently Head of Sports Science at Everton FC. Previously he has spent the last 10 years at Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid, and Celtic. An incredible resumé that many in the industry would love to have.
His experience is pretty unique, and the way he leads is also in a less common style from what I’ve heard in many discussions with practitioners.
And this is why I’m excited to have Jack on this episode
