Scott Drawer is the current Director of Sport at Millfield School, one of the UK’s leading independent school’s. Before that he was Head of Research and Innovation at UK Sport and also held positions as Athletic Performance Manager at the Rugby Football Union and worked in the Sky Performance Hub in Cycling.
I first met Scott in his role at UK Sport almost 15 years ago as I asked him to help me tap into the amazing work being done across the UK sport innovation and research network to help the England sevens programme I was running at the time .
His varied experiences made this a wide-ranging an incredibly interesting conversation covering innovation, technology, leadership, teaching, coaching, learning environments and a whole lot more.
