June 21 200: Coaching the Personalities
Coaching brings together a wide range of personalities — not just from the coaching side, but from the players as well. This week, the Talking Split crew create a handful of player personas (Rob lost count somewhere along the way) and discuss how they would coach each one to get the best out of them individually, while also helping the team achieve the best possible outcomes.

June 12 199: Set The Standard
Sport should feel the same for everyone who loves it, and everyone should have the opportunity to play and excel. This week we sit down with Matt Cameron from VicHealth to unpack the Set The Standard campaign, a program built around exactly that idea, before hearing from Nya Lok, whose basketball journey offers a first hand perspective on why this work matters so much. Both Matt & Nya make a case for what greater understanding, acceptance and effort can look like on and off the court, and the role that coaches, Clubs & Associations can play. For more information and resources, head to the Set The Standard website linked below.

June 05 198: Changing Opinions
Opinions are like clothes in a wardrobe, not all suit forever and some change as we evolve as coaches. This week we take a look back at some of the things we used to believe in as coaches, and how we have come to change over the years. Coaching, like playing is about growth based on experience, and potentially in a few years time we will change again!

May 28 197: Following the Trend
This week Rob shamelessly grabs some content he heard on another podcast to use as a launching pad for the various trends we see in game play, skill development, and style of play in our coaching space. Meanwhile, Nick is all in on the Knicks making the NBA finals, and Zoe has a great attempt at stealing the “Rob’s Rants” mantle as her own!

May 22 196: Open Scrimmage - Volunteer Coaches
It’s National Volunteer week, so we jump in to discuss the highs and the challenges that our grassroots coaches are facing. It sounds like a throwaway comment, but the sport would be lost without the hard work that our coaches put into it at all levels, so a huge thank you to everyone who gives up their time (and in some cases hairlines) to help out players that love the sport!

May 14 195: Favourtie Coaching Quotes
Sometimes there is a quote that just sticks with you, or is a way of shaping how you coach and live your life. The team has lots to unpack as we have Jenna’s farewell for Maternity leave, Rob’s Rants returning with Macklemore in his sights, and somehow, everyone’s favourite song for wrestling intros. If you’ve got a favourite quote, leave it in the comments for others to see!

March 27 194: Managing Expectations
Both internally, and externally, everyone expects something different from coaches. This week we unpack how to set yourself up as a coach for success in the preseason meeting with parents and players to make sure it’s a good environment for everyone moving forward, but also how to make sure you stay on track.
We also discuss the African Australian CALD Camp, Robs Rants is back for another week, and some framework for difficult conversations.

March 19 193: Think Like A Farmer
Another week, another podcast debutant as the Metro State Development Coach, Nathan Geer, joins us this week. A piece of Coach Education that has been floating around for a few years gets a bit of a review from us this week, as we encourage coaches to think more like a farmer. There are various takes on weeds, fertiliser, the environment and why it’s usually not a great idea to shout at players, or plants if you want to see growth!

March 12 192: The Coaching Stall
Sometimes it can feel a bit like you’re running in mud with your own development as a coach, and that you’re not progressing as quickly as you would like to. We discuss what you can do to address this and look at some of the reasons why it might be happening in the first place. DP also takes us through the Japan visit with the Victoria Select team and the experiences there.

March 06 191: Concussion with Daniel Hamilton
Joining on the pod this week is Daniel Hamilton, the Director of the Ballarat (and Bendigo) Concussion Clinic. An unfortunate area of the sport is navigating head knocks, and Daniel talks us through some of the danger signs for diagnosing a concussion, symptoms to look out for, and the repercussions of not rehabbing from a possible concussion properly. With the long-term impact of a head knock being significant, it’s a pod not to be missed by coaches, players and parents to try and keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible!
