Episode #242 of The Coaches Network Podcast.
Following many requests around more interactive segments on the podcast, myself and colleague Gerard Jones get together each week to discuss questions that have been put to us, topics requested and themes that have emerged from our own experiences. These discussions take place live as part of a Twitter space every Sunday evening GMT. You could get involved live or listen back right here on a Wednesday.
Discussions typically range from 30-60 minutes and each episode Gerard and myself will be going into some real depth and sharing our views and opinions on the topic to leave with you key takeaways to consider in your own environments.
So the favour I’m asking for is for you to let me know your thoughts on this new format and you could do by getting in touch on Twitter @thecoachesnet , once again that is @thecoachesnet and of course if you have a question feel free to send that in too! Hope you enjoy the new format!

Episode #241 of The Coaches Network Podcast.
There's been a lot of exciting work on going behind the scenes, and as we approach 250 episode of The Coaches Network Podcast, and we've been growing week after week in our listenership, we thought I'd be a great time highlight some of the great guests we've had over the past 2 years. So over the next few weeks we'll be releasing re-run's of some our top episodes, alongside continuing to bring some great new content and episodes.
This weeks episode is one from the archives, a discussion with Rick Shuttleworth. Rick has a diverse experience supporting performance development coaching, athlete and team dynamics, and sport development and education in Europe and Australasia. He contributed to several successful Olympic sports campaignes at the Australian Institute of Sport (Australian Sports Commission) as Skills Acquisition Specialist spanning both Beijing and London Games. It involved supporting Olympic coaches and athletes, World Cup sports, Super Rugby Franchises, National Rugby League, Football Federation Australia, Australian Rules Clubs and number of National Sport Organisations.
Rick joins CoachYas to discuss how to create a safe learning environment for athletes to thrive in. We discuss the importance and the role of being allowed to make mistakes plays in development at all levels, and how to give your athletes more ownership over their learning. This is a great one for coaches battling with the debate on balance player vs coach led environments. Enjoy!

🎙️ The Coaches Network Podcast — conversations that inform, challenge and inspire coaches.
Hosted by Coach Yas (Yasar Latif) — UEFA A Licence coach, coach…
Since launching in 2020, the podcast has produced more than 380 episodes, creating a space for honest, thought-provoking conversations with coaches, athletes, leaders, educators and practitioners from across sport and beyond.
Guests have included Shaquille O’Neal, Jack Wilshere, Sol Campbell, Tony Carr, Chris Ramsey, Mark Warburton and many others — but the podcast has never simply been about names or achievements.
We go deeper.
What shaped the person behind the practitioner?
Which experiences changed the way they think?
What have they changed their mind about?
Where did their biggest learning come from?
And what can the rest of us take from their journey?
From coaching and player development to leadership, learning, expertise, culture and professional development, each conversation looks beyond the surface to explore the thinking, experiences and pivotal moments behind practice.
Alongside his work developing and mentoring coaches, Yas is completing a Professional Doctorate in Sport, with his research focused on coach development and professional learning within academy football. That same curiosity increasingly shapes the podcast — asking better questions, challenging assumptions and creating conversations that connect research, experience and practice.
Whether you’re a coach, coach developer, leader, educator or simply curious about how people get better at what they do, consider yourself a fly on the wall.
Listen in. Reflect. Challenge your thinking. And hopefully take away a few ideas for your own journey.
🎓 Want to go further with your own development?
The Coaches Network also provides one-to-one mentoring and coach development support for coaches looking to better understand their practice, develop their identity and philosophy, navigate career progression, or simply have someone challenge and support their thinking.
