Lauren Williams speaks all about the mental game.  I am honoured to have her share some of her personal story as part of this podcast and it creates the back drop through which we talk about the mental game.

Vulnerability, confidence, making difficult decisions, self awareness and being in resourceful states are all just part of this conversation.

Lauren, through out this conversation had a smile on her face and you can sense her passion for what she does.

Let’s get into this convo with Lauren.

This podcast with Collin Henderson is a must listen…

Wow... is all I can say.  Collin brings fire in this podcast, from his infectious energy to all the wisdom he brings. This really is a must listen.

He is on a mission to transform lives and to normalize mental coaching. 

I love this convo and how we speak through how our minds work, quite naturally, against us and how we can learn to speak better to ourselves so that we can improve not only our lives, but our performances too.

Welcome back to The Coaching Convo, I just love having these convo’s with coaches and athletes and making them available to you.

I feel privileged, blessed and eternally grateful for every guest that joins me and to you for listening in and supporting the podcast.

So joining me today is Grant Bradburn. Having been the head coach of Northern Districts in New Zealand and the Scottish Cricket Team,  he is the current Head of High Performance Coaching at the Pakistan Cricket Board.

In this conversation Grant shares openly his own journey as a coach after his playing career.  What resonated with me most in this conversation, other than the numerous topics we speak through, is how Grant just loves learning and helping others perform.

My personal coaching career has been influenced deeply by a hand full of people or books I have read.

So when my guest Wayne Goldsmith said yes to joining me on the podcast I was jumping up and down like a little child.

It must have been about 15 years ago that I first read an article that Wayne wrote and I was hooked.  Wayne writes regularly on coaching, sport, performance in a way that introduces for the most part, a different way of thinking about coaching.

International sports coaching expert, Wayne Goldsmith has influenced the coaching, thinking and teaching of some of the world’s leading athletes, coaches and teams.

With over 25 years experience working with some of the best coaches, athletes, teams and sporting organisations in the world, WG Coaching offers an unparalleled opportunity for you to become the coach you dream of becoming. Wayne gives everyone he works with the tools – and the inspiration they need to be all they can be.

Hey Jody here and welcome back to The Coaching Convo…

The more I am having these conversations the more I realise that it doesn’t really matter where we are in the world, coaching at the end of the day is about people…

Josh Kozuch is a Mental Performance Coach with the Tampa Bay Rays.

We chat through his personal experiences as a baseball player and how the yips ended his pursuit to play the game at higher levels, and explore the mental side of the game by chatting through topics like… handling failure, visualisation, routines…

You can catch Josh’s thoughts on his social media (links in the show noted)through his, ‘What’s on Your Mind with Josh Kozuch’ video’s.
