Listen Later

This episodes guest is Nick Ward.


Nick is currently the programs director at ALTIS.

Almost 35 years on from starting as a coach Nick is active and helping people achieve their goals and improve their lifestyle – whether for the outdoors, on the sports field or the Olympic podium. As the AlTIS Programs Director Nick builds education and training resources that share experiences and extend processes. ALTIS is an elite training environment for athletes, and a global leader in the provision of education for sport performance.  The complexity of managing both the Performance and health of athletes is at the heart of the ALTIS approach.

 

On this episode Nick and I discuss:

  • Nick's background
  • I ask Nick if he was involved with the London 2012 Olympic games
  • I ask Nick what lessons he has learned from all his coaching experiences
  • I ask Nick what is the current mission and vision for ALTIS going forward
  • I ask Nick about how coaches can develop their information filter?
  • I ask Nick how he learns?
  • I ask Nick for his top and current reading recommendations
  • I ask Nick what life lessons has he learned over his life and career so far?
  • I ask Nick if he could invite 5 people to dinner, dead of alive, who would he invite and why?

    • This was a great discussion with Nick and I hope you guys really enjoy it.


    Stay Strong,
    RB
