  <description>In episode eight, Terry Peters, Performance Coach at Bayer Leverkusen, joins us.
Specifically Terry will be looking at:
The constraints of COVID-19 on return to performance
How his philosophy on intensity impacted the return process
Exactly what Leverkusen did in preparation for the Bundesliga restart
Which KPIs were monitored during the return
About Terry:
"I worked with the Olympic Committee in Holland, I worked with a variety of sports including Table Tennis, Track Cycling and Volleyball, and I realised I would prefer to work in an environment where I would get to work every day with the same athletes, to get a become more process oriented, rather than being focused on tasks. Then Vitesse Arnhem was at the same location as the Olympic Committee, so I moved there for around 7 years, and met some really good coaches over there. One of them took me to Dubai to work with a team there as a Strength &amp;amp; Conditioning coach, and then I came back to work with Heerenveen in the same role. Then Peter Bosz, who I worked with at Vitesse called me, and asked whether I wanted to come and work at Bayer Leverkusen, and here I am, working as a Strength &amp;amp; Conditioning coach in Germany."
