Ed Slattery has a passion for taking elite athletes to the next level as a hugely experienced strength and conditioning coach who has worked with Irish Rugby for coming up in a decade. Take a listen to this CV – Athletics Performance Coach for Irish women’s rugby; Athletic Performance Coach for Sevens and Womens Rugby; Athletic Performance Coach for Mens Rugby; and now his current role as Head of Athletic Performance for the Womens Pathways and National team. What that means, to you and me, is that he’s absolutely brilliant at helping get the absolute best out of players across the Irish national rugby set-up – and that has taken him through Six Nations campaigns, to the Tokyo Olympics and so much more.He’s also been a long-time listener to the podcast – and when we started chatting about him coming on, he was more than happy to join us – even if he was worried he wouldn’t have anything interesting to say.Turns out he was wrong about that, as he’s a brilliant guest, and we get into all sorts of things! We talk about the skills of high-performance coaching and getting into it in the first place; about getting players on-board and seeing results; the Tokyo Olympics and that experience with Ed; his own personal journey and how being his authentic self made him a better coach; and loads, loads more.This isn’t Ed’s ‘coming out’ story, as more than a few folks know his story – but plenty of others don’t so we hope you enjoy it, as it’s a cracking conversation with a great guy.

The One with Ed Slattery

Brian Kuebler

Today on Midday, a conversation about trucking safety, and efforts to address the serious and persistent problem of fatal truck crashes on America’s highways. Those crashes take the lives of more than 4,000 Americans every year — more than a dozen fatalities every day.  Thousands more are injured.  And thousands more are left to grieve for the victims. Brian Kuebler is an investigative reporter at WMAR Television.  Nearly ten years ago, he covered the story of Ed Slattery, a government economist whose wife Susan was killed when a tractor-trailer driver who’d fallen asleep at the wheel slammed his rig into her car at 55mph. Slattery’s two young sons, Steven and Matthew, were also in the car and both were severely injured.  Steven fully recovered, but Matthew, the younger boy, sustained permanent brain damage.That horrible day marked the beginning of a long and difficult recovery for Matthew, and Ed’s long crusade to improve truck safety, and to advocate for the disabled. Brian wrote a book about Ed’s journey from victim to activist.  It’s called The Long Blink: The True Story of Trauma, Forgiveness, and One Man’s Fight for Safer Roads.  Brian Kuebler and Ed Slattery join Tom in Studio A.This conversation was livestreamed on WYPR's Facebook page. Watch the video here.
