  • Roller blading: Finding the Zone of Fulfilment

    As soon as I spoke with today’s guest, I knew there was going to be an incredible energy to this episode

    David Lederman is a;

    🧠 Leadership Coach

    🧠 TEDx speaker

    and

    🧠 Author who is passionate about helping high-achievers navigate major life transitions with clarity, ease, and fulfilment.

    He was also one of the youngest Internationally Certified Inline Skating Instructors in the country back when rollerblading was cool

    His words not mine

    On today’s episode David shares his journey through inline skating and how he has learned and incredible amount through failure and how he helps others overcome these fears today

    And how his daughter became a hug driving force behind everything his does today

    We deep dive into a number of high-level athletes and look at what makes them successful

    And David shares that you don’t have to always go all in to be elite by sharing his ‘Zone of Fulfilment’ theory

    Because being fulfilled isn’t about accomplishing some goal.

    It’s not the payoff for crossing the finish line at the end of the season.

    It’s the path

    Grab your skates and let’s roll on over to check this incredible episode out

  • When you think about it we are all athletes

    every day we wake up we aim to perform

    whether that is at home

    at work

    or with our health

    Our aim is to be at our best

    and today's guest Greg Fearon teaches this with his clients while working as a Nutrition and Mindset Coach

    Being a late bloomer in sport due to his weight struggles, Greg found he had an incredible talent for Sprinting and Football

    which finally led him down the path of Kung Fu after being inspired by Jackie Chan

    Today Greg helps his mainly female client base overcome the same challenges he had in life by inspiring them by helping them learn that how you do something is how you do everything

    are you ready?

    Because everyone was Kung Fu Fighting

    but now they're tuning into this episode instead

    See you there

  • What if the cards are stacked against you?

    because life is challenging

    and more often than not the odds are against us

    So when it does get tough how do you manage those tricky times?

    Back when I played there would be times that I would thrive against adveristy

    and other times when I would find it difficult

    the biggest difference in these scenarios was that internal belief

    Which is something I have dug deep on since i've finished playing

    come and join me today as I share a story from a memorable game later on in my career

    and lets take you internally to help you thrive when the cards are stacked against you

  • Inside the mind of the one that goes inside the athlete’s mind

    I used to think sports psychology was woowoo

    I tried it once for a minute and wrote it off

    Yet there is a reason why many professional sports now have their own highly skilled staff looking after their players mental well being

    Because without it then you will never see a peak physical performance

    And on today’s episode of Always Another Game Podcast I have the pleasure of talking to Manchester Storm Ice Hockey Club’s Well Being Consultant Liz Stewart

    I broke a few of my own rules here today because Liz didn’t grow up with a sporting story

    Yet she is involved in one of my core values of this podcast and that is supporting and looking after the well being on not just Ice Hockey Players but athletes

    We discuss today the importance of the players having someone they trust they can talk to

    And how priceless it is for a coach and organisation to have a person involved in your team getting the best out of your players

    If you have every been interested in how your mental performance hugely affects your physical

    Then you’re going to want to glide on over to hear what Liz has to say

  • Who is in your corner?

    Do you know?

    You know those people that would go to war for you and expect nothing in return

    And their belief in you drives you forward into things you once though was impossible

    Because on today’s Shaun Short episode we discuss the influence that certain people have in our lives

    As many times an athlete has mentioned a Coach or Sensi that has made an incredible impact on their career and life

    And I felt it would be great to dig a little deeper into this topic

    Because sometimes you may not even know you had someone until you lost them

    Don’t panic I’m not going to take up too much of your time with the Shaun Short episodes so you can fit one in today

    I can’t wait to see you over there

  • “Injuries have shaped how I approach my career today”

    These are the exact words of England Hockey Strength and Conditioning Coach and former Professional Ice Hockey player Rupert Quiney

    From being inspired by his dad to play

    Rupert has to over come all odds to make it pro

    Growing up around a club that at the time was not playing at the highest level would seem too far fetched for a young athlete to stand out

    Yet this didn’t deter Rupert

    But due to a series of serious injuries he was forced to re think about what direction his career was going in

    And now he gets to help young athletes avoid going through the pain and struggle he did

    Which you can feel the passion he has for doing this in the episode today

  • I’ve never been a numbers guy…

    The thought of any pressurised maths sends me into a bigger freeze state than Walt Disney

    And many will argue and say that I need to get a handle on this

    But in a team sport it doesn't matter if one player has scored 5 goals if you lose 8-5

    You need the players who block shots, support you when you're down and bring the energy for the whole team just by how they show up

    You see there are so many other ways to thrive away from numbers

    Whether that is in your parenting

    Personal Development

    And

    Business

    And I share my thoughts on this powerful Shaun Short episode on the Always Another Game Podcast today

    Short and Sweet just like me…

  • “I choose to strangle people and get beaten up…”

    You may assume my latest podcast guest is cold blooded killer

    And you’d be wrong

    You’d even be shocked if you knew her more too

    Because this easy-going straight shooter is apparently not one to be messed with

    Because on today’s episode of Always Another Game I had the pleasure in going inside the mind of New Zealand’s Ju Jitsu star Bailey Walters

    We talk about the culture differences around sport between our two countries and what makes the Kiwi’s so successful

    And how Bailey truly believes “ I wouldn’t be who I am today without sport”

    If you’re feeling brave enough to miss one then that one is on you

    But for the rest of you smart people lets flip those headphones on and take a listen

  • American Football - Being injured is a positive

    Controversial hey?

    Yet sometimes when we’re forced to slow down we see things a lot differently

    I remember my first serious injury and on my return I was fitter and stronger than before I got hurt because I was taught to see exercise from a different angle

    And my latest guest on the Always Another Game Podcast shares a similar story

    Sean Williams life has travelled in many areas yet his business thrives today not only through his sporting journey but the passion he found while injured

    He is taking leaps to help support athletes reach their dreams to which once felt like it was impossible and I can’t wait for you to hear his journey today
