Do you prefer Playing on the Edge?
This was something that was drilled into us at a young age
That to be up there with the best you have to play of edge
Playing safe within sport wasn’t an option to stand out and succeed
And if you think about it now everyone you likely look up to in life
In some way stands out because they dare to be different
To do things that the majority won’t do
In today’s Shaun Short episode on the Always Another Game Podcast I talk about my experience with playing on the edge
And how not only can that help you in sport
But within your business and your personal brand too
As it allows you to be your true authentic self and stand out from the crowd
Ready to push the boundaries a little bit
Go on I dare you

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

It’s the path

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
Lets glide on over with me to listen to this one

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…

And unlocking their true potential

NEW NEW NEW
New Intro Tune
New Guest Episode
New Energy
Because due to circumstances out of my control I needed to switch up my podcast tune
And safe to say Michael Coltham has done an incredible job
And I’d love to hear your thoughts…
Not only that I get to debut the track with my latest athlete all the way from Colorado Lida Johnson
Lida is a seasoned athlete who wants to show the world that ‘I can’t’ doesn’t exist
And that age is just an excuse holding you back from truly living
Because she took on her first Ironman Challenge at the tender age of 40
And she didn’t stop there
Lets tune in to learn more about her journey and work while the iron is hot

“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
See you there
