Living a life in balance is about finding flow. It's about capitalising on all of the things that make you a better person without one of them taking over the flow.

My guest on today's show is Reed Maltbie, and he's a master at helping athletes find flow.

With a Master’s degree in sports psychology and early childhood development and 30 years of professional coaching experience, Reed has dedicated his life to creating the very best environments for athletes of all ages to achieve peak performance, on and off the sports field.

Reed has worked with a variety of sports organisations including the Gaelic Games Association, England Sevens, Soccer Shots, Sport New Zealand, Player Development Project, US Sailing, Soccer Canada, and PGA of Canada.

His latest book, The Spartan Mindset, due out in April 2023, Reed focuses on the impact of language on performance. It is a must-read for anyone who strives to be a more effective and supportive communicator in the classroom, on the sports field, at the office, and beyond.

We begin this conversation talking about the power of emotional fitness and how Reed goes about developing it.

Enjoy!
