Performance Formula Podcast

It’s really is weird sometimes how we get to meet people…

My guest... James Tranter and I met via a new app called Clubhouse in some random room most probably about sport or performance.

And so naturally I had to get him on... I love his thinking around in general about sport and life…

and so in this convo we explored... just enjoying the sport we play to taking the little steps daily and weekly that makes us enjoy the process.

As well as... some aspects around physical development in sports and most importantly I think James shares candidly around his personal struggles with mental health.

First… how cool is my new jingle? If you looking for something similar or different to be created from scratch… get in touch with Seven on Instagram @sevvenofficial.

Oh my goodness… some guests are like bucket list guests for me…

Scott Goldman is someone I only connected with recently… and as soon as heard him speak I was like, I just love the passion he brings to sport psychology and I must get him on the podcast.

He is currently the Sport Psychologist for the Golden State Warriors and has worked with athletes and teams in the the NBA and NFL.  So needless to say... he knows a thing or two about Sport Psych.

This convo covers what a sport psych does... being ready for competitions, confidence, the stress response and training the mental game.

If ever there was a podcast that blew my mind...  this conversation with Rhys Thomas is right up there…

As he speaks frankly about his personal struggles with life in the fast lane, to his career as a professional rugby player ending... quite literally... in a heart beat, to all the lessons he learned on the way, that involved addiction, loss of identity and a journey that is jaw dropping.

At the time of this recording he is still waiting for a heart transplant and after rehab he is a more happy human being.

Just before we get into the convo with Rhys, two quick things…

 

First… how cool is my new jingle? If you looking for something similar or different to be created from scratch… get in touch with Sevven on Instagram @sevvenofficial.

Say what?  Que jaw drop and become speechless… that is how some of my guests on The Coaching Convo leaves me.

Gurthro Steenkamp, a legend of South African Rugby, a Rugby World Cup Winner and member of the Bulls and Toulouse Rugby Teams did just that.

To imagine in my wildest dreams to ever speak to some of the greatest sports people in the world is just mind blowing…

And so I want to say to every guest that has been on including Gurthro and every guest in the future… thank you for joining me and sharing your insights...

And while I am at the thank you stage… as always to you the listener thanks for tuning in weekly to listen to these convo’s.

So really just to you and my guests… I appreciate you!

Right…

Here is what stood out for me in this conversation.

Coach G and I talk through pushing the limits, playing for something other than your self… to have a purpose and about the fitness system that he is promoting and running online classes in called ZUU.  Its brilliant check it out.

Lastly as always feel free to support the coaching convo on... www.jodymartins.co/podcast

I am joined in this episode by my friend an colleague Ziyaad Desai…

Ziyaad is a former cricketer who currently is the CEO and Founder of the NPL.  This franchise based club tournament sees cricketers compete in the prestigious LPL in Johannesburg, DPL in Durban, CPL in Cape Town and has expanded into the APL in Australia.

During the convo we chat a little bit about where Ziyaad’s love for the game comes from, the history of the LPL and how to be successful in coaching.

I want to encourage you as a listener to always feel free to share the podcast with those in your environment so that they too can get the value that you are getting from listening in… Also if you ever want to support the podcast you can do so at www.jodymartins.co/podcast

Before we get into this podcast episode… Just a quick shout out to you…

Here is the thing… This convo cannot happen without you…

So when I say ‘thank you for listening in to The Coaching Convo’, I really mean that… I mean if you were not listening in then technically I would be wasting my time.  And you make, having and sharing these convo’s all worthwhile.

So as I share these with you, keep passing them on to anyone else that you feel will get value, learning and insights from listening to them too.

Ok…

My guest today is… Min Patel… a Indian born former English Cricketer who played for Kent Cricket… His first class record of 630 wickets at an average of 30 would suggest he could have played more, than just the two test matches he played for England.

Some highlights in this conversation for me was…

Specialisation in coaching.

Leading with questions.

Involving all the stakeholders.

Addressing the biggest gap.

What do you say when you have the opportunity to speak with an athlete who was a 2004 Olympic Team Alternate, a 2 x All-American at the NCAA level for Oregon State University… and who has spent 7 years on tour with Cirque du Soleil Amaluna.

Well you ask them to come onto your podcast of course.

My guest this week is my new friend Laura-Ann Chong, she is / was all of that and more, of course, as we are always more than just the things we do.

This convo was so interesting as we explore what it is like to fly, the differences between our sporting worlds and  where and what a gymnast focuses on during performance, that every athlete is unique, what it is like to be an elite athlete at the age of 11 and so many other topics that I believe will have huge value for you.

Now, just before we get into this convo… I want to firstly thank you for listening in and want to ask you to please share the podcast with anyone and everyone that you think will get value from listening in. 

Remember also, that if you ever want to support the podcast you can do so at www.jodymartins.co/podcast

So here we go with Laura-Ann…

First off, I just want to say thank you to you for listening in.

I want to remind you that you can support the coaching convo on www.jodymartins.co/podcast

I had the privilege of being joined by Kieran Powell who is a cricketer that has played 40 Tests and 46 ODI’s for West Indies.  

I love this convo for so many reasons and most probably the most important parts to me is around how modern coaching can at times take away the flair cricketers naturally have at times and how the way you live is the way you play.

Enjoy the uninterrupted convo with Kieran.

So there are a couple of individuals out there who are on my bucket list…

Neil McKenzie, the former South African Cricketer is certainly one of them…

His vast experience at franchise and international level makes conversations with him not only insightful, but packed full of value.

We chat a bit about his career and spend most of the time talking about coaching batting, as that is not only something Neil was pretty good at doing himself, but its also what he is doing now when helping the next generation of South African batsman.

One last quick message here, just a friendly reminder that you can, if you so choose, now support the coaching convo.  Simply visit www.jodymartins.co/podcast

I invite you to open your ears, grab that pen and paper and be ready to learn as we together explore coaching.

Ok here we go…
