In this episode of The Average Not Average Podcast, Viktor Axelsen and CK Yew are joined by Sean Casey - registered dietitian, physical preparation coach, proactive health specialist, and someone who has played a huge role throughout Viktor’s career over many years working together at the highest level of sport.

Sean also shares stories from his journey working alongside Viktor, lessons learned from decades in the performance space, advice for everyday athletes, and the realities of balancing health, business, travel, and high performance all at once.
