February 23, 2023Ep. 8 - Zach Powell: Switching Athletic Pursuits and Lessons from Coaching
This week I am joined by Zach Powell. He's a husband and a father of two. He coaches parents who want to get stronger and compete in endurance events.

I have followed Zach on Instagram for a while now and I enjoy the content he puts out and his approach to training. He has a background in Olympic Weightlifting, having competed for almost a decade before having his first child. Shortly thereafter he became interested in running and began combining strength and endurance pursuits.

In this episode, we discuss his background and his approach to training before and after having children. We spend a bit of time discussing the challenges of switching from an athletic pursuit that had been a part of your identity. Finally, we chat about how his lessons from training as a new dad have helped him in his coaching of other parents, and the things he has learned through these coaching relationships. It was a great yarn.

Enjoy the episode!

This week we have a solo episode. Just me - Hayden - and the mic, as I bring you Part One of my wife and I's fertility story.

Reading aloud through this first part of our journey brings back a lot of emotions for me. It was a tough time that makes the Dad moments of today even more meaningful. I will bring the second part of our fertility story in a later episode.

February 02, 2023Ep. 5 - Dr Will O'Connor: From Pro Triathlete to Endurance Coach, Scientist, Ultrarunner, and Dad
This week I am joined by Dr Will O'Connor. He's a husband and a father of one. He utilises his PhD in sports science, along with his experience as an elite ultra-athlete, in coaching and educating athletes and everyday people to realise their potential.

I have known Dr Will for a number of years, since I was the manager at the Human Performance Laboratory at Massey University when he was completing some of his post-graduate studies.

In this episode we dive into his background, discuss how he and his wife are both able to continue to compete at an elite level whilst being parents, and briefly chat about some of the benefits and practicalities of aerobic training for strength athletes.

Enjoy the episode!

January 26, 2023Ep. 4 - Manaia Cunningham: Team Dinners and Transformation: Inspiration from a Friend
This week I have the privilege of diving into a conversation about a major lifestyle change of a former colleague, and good friend, Manaia Cunningham.

Manaia is a husband and father of four. Over a team dinner in 2022, he told us he was going to make some big changes in order to lose weight and improve his health and well-being - to avoid being a statistic.

He has provided me with plenty of inspiration over the last six months and I really enjoyed our honest and open kōrero. I hope you do too!

Enjoy the episode!

January 12, 2023Ep. 2 - Shaun Curry: From Playing Dreams to Crusaders' S&C and Embracing a New Mindset as a Dad
This week I am joined by Shaun Curry. He's a husband and a father of one. He works as the Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Crusaders Super Rugby team.

I have known Shaun for many years, since he was a student of mine when I was teaching at UCOL. He's always been a dedicated and hard working person who achieves highly - so I was keen to hear how he's embraced this mindset within his new role of being a father.

In this episode we delve into his background, and discuss how his training habits and mindset have shifted as he's moved into fatherhood.

Enjoy the episode!
