Matt Nichol, Strength & Conditioning Coach

Strategic Performance Optimizer/Strength & Conditioning Coach Matt Nichol talks about working with Mats Sundin in Stockholm & Toronto, his first boss Pat Quinn [somewhat surprisingly] being a health & fitness innovator, Gary Roberts making it easy to get the other Maple Leafs on board, the humility of Wayne Simmonds/Andre De Grasse/Joel Anthony/Jordan Binnington, doing the simple things SAVAGELY well, the ‘not awesome’ science behind 'bag skates,' working with Charlie Francis, co-founding BioSteel, growing from a 1,000sf to 11,000sf fitness facility, Nick Saban’s ‘illusion of choice,' and having unexpected philosophical discussions with Ken Dryden about the ‘quote of the day’!
