Live Train Perform

I've had so many great conversations with friends and colleagues about what we see happening in the fitness industry, and thought to myself, "I wish we would have recorded that."

...So that's exactly what the Coaches Corner is about.

In this second installment of a conversation I had with Jon Le Tocq of Storm Force Fitness, we discuss how people consider criticism as a negative thing, whereas people with a growth mindset take that criticism as feedback.
We also speak on how to not just gather information, but take new information, apply it, and figure out how to tweak and adjust the principles to apply to different clients, as well as different aspects of life.

We round out the episode with a great discussion around the difference between exercising and training. Whilst there is a time and a place for both, training is in my mind far superior, because it forces you to look at areas of your health and fitness that may be lacking, that you can then target through a well rounded training, nutrition, recovery and stress management plan.

Fitness for me is being able to do whatever I want to do, at any time, with minimal limitations, because I've prepared myself to be able to perform at a multitude of tasks across a broad spectrum of skills acquired through a targeted, periodised training program.

Please note that the original conversation went for about 90 minutes, so I recommend listening to the entirety of the conversation to understand the full context, as there is some crossover between the topics we cover...which will be/have been dropped as separate episodes.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

●       Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

●       Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

●       At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach

...So that's exactly what the Coaches Corner is about. 

In this conversation I had with Jon Le Tocq of Storm Force Fitness, we discuss how most people that are spruiking specific methods of training or ways of eating, are typically trying to sell you something. Most great coaches are going to teach you the principles of progress, and guide you towards your own answers and methods that align with those principles, but allow you to choose the right tool for the job in your own individual circumstances.

We also dive into the impact that social media has on shaping what people think they need to do in order to get the results they want.
Social media is a highlight reel. It doesn't show the countless hours, discipline, and hard work put into the fundamentals over years and years of being consistent at the basics. What you see high level athletes doing now, is not what got those high level athletes to that point. Master the basics of movement, and it will open up many other options.

Please note that the original conversation went for about 90 minutes, so I recommend listening to the entirety of the conversation to understand the full context, as there is some crossover between the topics we cover...which will be/have been dropped as separate episodes.

In this episode, I answer a question from a listener on what I did/do to protect my mental health.

Journaling is a big part of the process for me, because it allows me to practice gratitude and appreciation as I reflect on the past, as well as being the first action step to setting a vision, and subsequent action steps on the path into the future.

I reference a number of other podcast episodes and social media posts in this episode, which you will find below, for context.

I've had some amazing conversations with both my face to face, and online clients, and thought that a lot of people would benefit from being a fly on the wall.

So that's exactly what the Client Corner is about.

These episodes are open and honest coaching calls between myself, and the people who trust me to guide them on their own health and fitness journey through life.

I believe education drives compliance. Typically, if people know why they are doing something, they will be more inclined to buy into the process.
You will hear my coaching and training philosophies come full circle in these conversations, and whilst I do provide advice and guidance, I also like to ask questions to guide people to the best answer that works for them under their specific circumstances.

My coaching philosophy is: "If I'm not affecting my clients outside of that one hour training time, then I'm not doing my job."

My training philosophy is: "Give people a lot of what they need, and a little of what they want."

Massive thank you to Scott for allowing me to record and share our coaching call for the benefit of the audience. Much appreciated mate!

In this episode of the Live Train Perform podcast, we look at how Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) affect people on a daily basis. 
Kat discusses how lack of awareness and stigmas behind Eating Disorders (ED) can contribute to increases in ED prevalence and poor support/outreach for help. We also dive into understanding the 5 psycho-education components of BED to help you to understand why BED exists and the complexity behind it. 

1.  How habits are formed
2.  Understanding the upper and lower brains
3.  How language can affect our physiology
4.  Neuroplasticity and rewiring our brains
5.  Progressive mindfulness to create awareness around identifying negative detours

This is a great conversation for those dealing with BED themselves, or have friends or family dealing with their own struggles.

In this episode, I speak with Jay Pattinson about the journey that took him from building a life that allowed him to travel and party all over the world, to have it all come crashing down around him, to then having to rebuild his life and recreate his identity.

This conversation covers a lot of ground, and we both give practical advice and actionable takeaways for the audience at pivotal moments along the way. 

• "Living the high life"
• Ending up in jail in a foreign country
• Dealing with the ensuing mental health decline
• Having to reinvent himself and swap out one addiction for another
• Taking up bodybuilding, and competing on the National stage
• The journey that brought him to Thailand

I met Jay almost a year ago through social and training networks, and we've built a friendship since then.  His story of his growth can provide inspiration for anyone who has found themselves in hot water, and are looking for tools and principles that will allow them to be better at life.

From a young age, Mark showed an interest in the military and in 1993, at age 18, enlisted into the Australian Regular Army.

On completion of his initial employment training for the Infantry, Mark was
posted to the First Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment (1 RAR). In
1997, while serving in 1 RAR as an infantry sniper, Mark applied for, and was
selected to join the elite ranks of the Australian Special Air Service (SAS)
Regiment.

Serving in the SAS for over 10 years, Mark specialised in mobility operations,
sniping, personal protection duties, special reconnaissance and training of
local indigenous forces. With numerous deployments during his service in
the Special Forces including Sydney Olympic Games, East Timor, Iraq and
five tours of Afghanistan, Mark has extensive experience and knowledge in
operating under pressure, working in and leading teams in some of the
world’s most hostile and unforgiving environments.

In 2007, while serving as an operational team leader in Afghanistan, Mark
suffered serious injuries during an IED attack. Evacuated home to Australia,
Mark focused intently on his recovery and rehabilitation. Displaying his
trademark determination and tenacity, Mark successfully made a full return
to health and deployed back to Afghanistan just six months later.

Discharging from the Regular Army in 2009, Mark continued to work in
complex and high-risk environments, namely as a team leader and security
manager at the Australian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan during the period
2009 to 2016.

Mark is now Director of Point Assist, a unique company specialising in
adventure travel, physical safety and self-improvement. His 25-year career in
the military, security and adventure travel fields have given him the unique
skill set and experience to provide practical solutions to the most complex
and challenging situations across military, government, corporate and
private sectors.

I launched this podcast because I wanted to to cut through the bullshit that unfortunately pervades the industry I love so much.

The fitness industry has been hijacked by people who are taking advantage of people's insecurities and fears, with promises of getting you the results you want, with very little energy or effort required.

Attaining results short term shows that you're motivated, and can use discipline and restriction short term to get to where you need to be. You don't need to pay someone your hard earned money to get these results.
Keeping results long term however, shows that you're willing to learn the principles that guide sustainable change, in all areas of life, and can balance your values on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. This is an investment into your future. If you're going to pay someone to guide you on your journey, ensure that the coach is also investing into your future, not just taking your money, getting you short term results, then leaving you in a worse place than you started 6 months later...

Thank you to everyone who has tuned in over the last year, whether that was for one episode, or for all of them. I'm grateful for every single person who has given up what I consider to be one of our most precious commodities, time.

Also a massive shout-out to everyone who has helped me along the way.
My sister-in-law helped me launch the podcast.
Every single guest who has come on the show to be interviewed, or chew the fat on a coaches corner, or client corner episode.
Followers and listeners for providing me with content by sending through their questions for Q & A sessions.
Everyone who has left me a rating and review, shared episodes with friends and family, or shared via social media stories.

Much love!

Shaun Kober is a Mindset & Performance Specialist, with a unique skillset forged in the trenches, through the various stages of life.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

●       Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

●       Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

●       At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
