Motivation comes and goes and in reality, we spend the majority of time in the space where we have a whole host of things we need to do when we don't feel like doing them. When you combine this when the multitude of problems and unresolvable worries life throws up in this day and age, you are fighting an uphill battle to achieve your goals.

Have a purpose helps you to stay on track and allows you to continue to be willing to take the forward steps needed.

In this podcast I talk about the concept of turning your journey from where you are now to becoming your ideal self into a personal project.

This project then acts as a purpose. A clear and directed guide on what to do, how to do it and why it needs to be done.

There is no stronger emotional attachment to a goal than one based around an ideal future identity. Build one from scratch, get very clear on it and then work towards it daily. This is where you will get the most satisfaction and fulfilment in life.

For us to manage our minds and take control of our lives, it is important to develop a level of self awareness where we understand how and why we think and act the way we do.

It's the answers to this question which will allow us to get a greater understanding of who we are. It lets us know which aspects we are able to change so we can get out of our own way and grow as an individual.

In this podcast I discuss self awareness as a trait while also using examples from my own personal learnings over the years.

The Coach Pratts Podcast is returning after a 4 week break. This episode outlines why ive chosen to go for a second season and gives an intro of what to expect going forwards.

As always thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy.

Training is training.

No matter the goal, training is there as a vehicle for improvement. In this podcast I go into detail about the ethos and philosophy behind my own training and the programming I do at Hyre.

This week it’s big training chat with the man Jack Anderson aka Jackptuk!

Jack was an olympic lifter turned hybrid athlete doing his first Iron Man early last year. You can check how things went by watching his doc Sweet Suffering on amazon prime!

We talk about the difference between a PT and a coach, how we should all be looking at our training and why performance goals beat body goals 10 times out of 10. Performance goals give us an intent to take into our sessions every single time we step in the gym!

It’s so valuable to enjoy the process of being new to something and having to learn and get better. This attitude is important when it comes to seeing progress and building an unbeatable mindset.

Listen & enjoy.

In this episode Stef and I discuss the current women's six nations, the reason why sporting role models are so important and the gender bias in women's rugby.

Gyms are back in England and with that is everyones motivation to train, eat right and be healthy. It's like a nationwide 'diet starts Monday'. But how long can this last before the energy disappears and the tedium sets in?

The truth is that we will only truely find long term success when we invest into a day to day process that gets us there.

This podcast is about the 3 key ingredients of finding that process, sticking to it and thriving through it.

As you will soon find out, it's all about winning the moments.

Wales Women's head coach Warren Abrahams is renowned for his creativity and ability to get players thinking outside the box. He has worked in many elite sporting cultures and is passionate about helping individuals to thrive in the uncertainty.

In this podcast we talk about his personal journey, the challenges covid-19 has put on the role of a coach and some insights on how to 'change the lens' and turn even the most mundane activities into play.

Really enjoyed this one.

Long term success and happiness in your life will come down to your outlook toward stress and your ability to turn it into fuel for growth.

One of the most important tools for making this change is to build an anti-fragile mindset. Being anti-fragile, robust, resilient, mentally tough is just a skill and all skills can be built and developed through practice.

Once we can build this mindset, we can then choose how we respond to the stress in our lives and choose to always find the positive in every negative.

Like most things, it just takes practice.

This podcast is a must listen for coaches and avid gym goers alike. For far too long the fitness industry has kept itself tightly restricted in its fat loss or nothing box, closing off people from a whole host of other body & mind boosting benefits. There is so much deeply wrong with the western diet culture that needs to change if we are ever going to truely put peoples mental wellbeing first and make physical progress about building and getting better, rather than subtracting and being less.

This is probably my favourite nutrition & health focused podcast to date and I am sure it is bound to ruffle a few feathers. If this does trigger you or there is anything you feel you disagree with, please reach out for a further discussion.

I am always open to hearing from other coaches/individuals and coming to some common ground where we can both learn, grow and get better.
