Legendary rugby union and performance coach Dave Alred was a guest speaker at Ashton Gate this week, holding a lengthy session with Nigel Pearson and the rest of the Bristol City coaching staff.
Alred, who this month extended his contract as Bristol Bears kicking coach, formed part of a staff day, where he imparted his knowledge and methods on coaches from academy level through to Pearson and first-team assistants Curtis Fleming and Jason Euell.
Alred has been an elite performance coach for more than 30 years, famously helping Jonny Wilkinson become the world’s best goalkicker in rugby union, as well as working with former world golf No1 Luke Donald, the England rugby and cricket teams, GAA sides in Ireland, AFL teams in Australia and Manchester City.
