It's our celebration episode – 100 shows of The Coaching Podcast and we couldn't think of a more loyal supporter of the show than Coach Kyle LaCroix; he listens every week and was the very first guest to be interviewed on the show! Emma met Kyle through a mutual friend, when she was visiting their tennis facilities in Florida many years ago, and she is a huge fan of Kyle's work and the way that he thinks outside of the square. You are in for a real treat today, as the data on the Vegemite question is finally in! Kyle has been waiting 6 years to get back onto the Coaching Podcast to share his scientific take on Vegemite, the two-bite rule; a little dab will do you, and his lifelong battle with that rare disease called enthusiasm!

The light bulb moments in this epic 100th The Coaching Podcast episode, include;

A huge thank you to Simon Blair for being one of the original founders of The Coaching Podcast, for picking the original name ;) and for his continued support of the show. To our sponsor, Tina Samara and her business, Transition Coach 4 Athletes. And to our editor, Carolyn Doyle, yes - it's a sister act each week! If anyone is interested in securing Caz for copywriting, she is the best! 

Stay tuned until after the credits roll for a snapshot of the Vegemite Question in rehearsal!
