“What if the way we treat a Premier League striker's recovery could shape the future of your local clinic. What if sport wasn’t just entertainment - but the bridge connecting health innovation to the communities they influence?”
These questions are at the heart of The Performance Health Economy Podcast - where elite sport, healthcare, innovation, and leadership collide to shape the next decade of wellness, diagnostics, and digital & physical care.
Why This Podcast Exists
After leading digital health and AI transformation projects across global healthcare for almost two decades, Simon went back to where he started his career and began studying how elite sport operates.
"Athletes are monitored, coached, and optimised daily - yet patients still wait for something to break."
The same systems that keep world-class players in peak condition - continuous data, recovery science, precision nutrition, performance psychology, rapid access to care, and multidisciplinary coordination - could redefine how we think about health and wellbeing.
From Reactive Care to Proactive Performance
At the heart of this transformation is the Performance Health Matrix, a simple model mapping this critical journey:
This podcast explores the crucial top-right quadrant - showing how people and organisations shift from simply treating illness to actively transforming health and performance.
