This time we go off the field, away from the players, to hear from one of the unsung heroes of the Vipers backroom staff, Strength and Conditioning Coach Darren Veness. Daz, as he’s universally known, is one of the heartbeats of the Vipers and his role in keeping the players in tip-top physical shape was crucial in the side’s charge to the final in season one of the tournament. He’s someone who has vast experience of working with top-level players, having spent two decades with English county Somerset, half a dozen years with Surrey, plus his other work with not only the Vipers but also, amongst other teams, The Oval Invincibles in The Hundred and time, too, with the England men’s set-up. Coming up is a fascinating insight into Daz’s role and how he works with the players to ensure they can produce their best on an ongoing basis despite the tight schedule that asks so much of them.https://www.thedesertvipers.comhttps://twitter.com/TheDesertVipershttps://www.instagram.com/thedesertvipers/https://www.rasasi.com
