Michael Bisping, remains the only British UFC champion and a key player in catapulting the sport to new heights in the UK. His undoubted career highlight came in June 2016 at UFC 199, when he knocked out Luke Rockhold to claim the UFC middleweight title on just a week’s notice. He defended that title on UK soil when he beat Dan Hendersaon and also beat the legendary Anderson Silva during the same five-fight win streak that delivered his title.

Among Michael’s career accolades, he has the most wins in UFC middleweight history and is tied for the third most fights in UFC history. “The Count” was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame will go down as one of the greatest.

We launch Series 6 with the ‘Manx Missile’ Mark Cavendish, cycling’s greatest sprinter of all time.

Mark sprinted into the history books on Stage 13 of the Tour de France in 2021, by equalling Eddy Merckx’s record of 34 stage wins at the Tour, a record that has been held since 1975.

It has been an extraordinary comeback for Mark, arguably one the greatest in sports history, as he has battled depression, illness and injury. 

Get the notebooks ready, and listen to Mark speak like he’s never done before on his lessons and learnings of high performance.

This week’s bitesize brilliance is from rugby league legend Kevin Sinfield.

We chatted about the importance of soft stuff: the ability to show our emotions, let people know we care and the power of friendship. This is the intangible stuff that produces the hard currency of silverware.

"When it is all over, you don't remember games as well as the friendships and relationships you share."

In 2020 Kevin set the challenge to run 7 marathons in 7 days hoping to raise £77,777 in honour of his best Rob Burrow, who wore the No 7 shirt. He raised more than £2.5 million to help his friend’s family and the fight against MND.

Our bitesize dose of motivation today comes from James Timpson, the CEO of Timpson, a business that has been in his family for over 150 years.

The reaction to this episode was huge! It was a real pleasure to spend time with James and hear his lessons and values to building the business - something that resonated with so many.

James’ episode had a clear message - culture, when harnessed correctly, can be a competitive advantage.

This week we have an extract from our exclusive members club The High Performance Circle, with former Olympian and business coach, Cath Bishop. 

Cath believes that we have come to define winning too narrowly - as a moment in time crossing the line, winning a medal, and at a level set by others rather than ourselves. That 'win at all costs' mentality has seen 'the costs' rise to unacceptable levels. 

Cath talks about the need to redefine winning in a way that helps us to explore our potential better and thrive over the long-term, to ensure that crossing the line first or last is connected to something of lasting value. Jake and Damian respond to Cath's excellent keynote speech.
