Widely known as one of the top strength & conditioning Directors in the world, Simon Thomas curated his success at Super Rugby's most successful team, The Crusaders under head coach Scott “Razor” Robertson (now the All Blacks coach). Simon led the performance department at the Crusaders for four years resulting in three Super Rugby titles in 2017, 2018, 2019 & a Super Rugby Aotearoa title in 2020. While experiencing success with the Crusaders he was also working with Maori All Blacks in the International windows & consulted in Japan, Brazil & Argentina throughout.He left NZ to go to the US and build a new rugby environment in the MLR based on Austin Texas in 2021 and 2022. This was another valuable experience & Simon loved it in the US & the  exposure to the bigger US sporting environments as this was a big driver of wanting to leave his success behind him at New Zealand Rugby & take on a new challenge. He then came to Perth to work as Head of Performance with the Western Force Rugby team based in Western Australia under Simon Cron, and this is where this interview with JD podcast curator & host Andrew was held. Simon shares many fascinating stories from inside his time working in professional sport, the narratives that led to success at the Crusaders under the driving force of Razor, the athletes, and a mentor that influenced Simon greatly with her words, “live to create opportunities for others”.This podcast interview with Simon is a rare gem for coaches, athletes and leaders wanting to take some inspiration from a leader in the industry who has worked consistently with other leaders!Show sponsor Muvitality Medicinal Mushrooms for modern day health and wellness | Mu …Go to muvitality.com use code JD10 to receive a 10% discount on your purchase of Mu Functional mushrooms Here are some useful links for this podcastIG @westernforce   Linked In - https://au.linkedin.com/in/simon-thomas-5656b540Relevant episodesEpisode 91 - Becoming a “Mindset monster” with Super Rugby Human Performance & Mindset coach Davie Gray - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-91-becoming-a-mindset-monster-with-super/id1527374894?i=1000640880513Episode 88 - Damian Browne on The Power of Process and The Pain Cave - https://podcasts.apple.com/hk/podcast/episode-88-damian-browne-on-the-power-of-process/id1527374894?i=1000636640784JOINT DYNAMICS links:Joint Dynamics Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JointDynamicsHongKong/Joint Dynamics Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/jointdynamics/Joint Dynamics Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQZplKxZMSvtc6LxM5WckwJoint Dynamics Website - www.jointdynamics.com.hk Host - Andrew Cox - https://www.jointdynamics.com.hk/the-team/trainers/andrew-cox
