Podcast appearances and mentions of bruce walsh

Hear how a boy born in Sydney's Inner Western suburbs, blooded into a diehard Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league family, plying his trade in both league and union as a teenager, spends a decade and a half at the powerhouse Canterbury Leagues Club in Belmore during the Super League War, the Bulldogs Salary Cap Scandal, and of course the madness of their 2004 grand final victory, before becoming the C.O.O. of Wests Ashfield League Club. . We also segway into the Sideline Story of Bruce Walsh, David's late father, a prominent figure in the rugby league community in the 1980s for pioneering unique training techniques to develop athletes during rugby league's transition from semi-professional to full-time professional. An Australian Olympics weightlifting coach and strength and conditioning coach under the legendary Warren Ryan and Roy Masters, Bruce Walsh was a well respected man who inadvertently revolutionised the game of rugby league. . David Walsh's knowledge and experience within the greatest game of all is insightful, engaging and an absolute pleasure to listen to. .
