This Human Life

This nostalgic episode is an inside view from Brian Stubbs, professional footballer with Notts County Football Club over a number of years and with 426 appearances. Brian provides a fascinating account of playing football and being part of the football family. Known as ‘The Enforcer’ Brian discusses with Paul, the tactics and approaches to playing consistently for such a successful team.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Working together is a key element of a successful team. As a defender alongside the goal-keeper you create a defensive block. To make this successful you must work as a team, he is protecting you and you are protecting him. 
• Good management is about putting individuals in a position where they have responsibility and can do an effective job. It provides people with an opportunity to fulfill their role effectively. A good manager is able to identify and build using the strengths of individuals, to create a team that can achieve the best results.
• Getting everybody on the same side and working together towards the same goal fosters a shared vision with everyone brought into team adding to the jigsaw. The attitude in the dressing room is an indication of the attitude of a team. A positive environment creates an atmosphere that supports the ethos of wanting to play, going out of the dressing room to start a game with the right attitude can make all the difference.
• Feeling part of a  big family was a part of the football experience, for Brian. The football experience was about being part of the community, celebrating with fans face-to-face and spending time with the other team members. This family aspect of the footballer’s role helped to consolidate the team spirit.

BEST MOMENTS

“Keep the game simple, Football is about kicking a ball”

“Him being more afraid of me  - someone along-side you who could help you out”

“Big family we did everything together”

“Supporters make the legends, You are out there to do a job”

ABOUT THE HOST

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

ABOUT THE GUEST - Brian Stubbs

Brian Stubbs is part of a unique band of professional football players that only ever played for one club.  ‘Stubbsy’, as he was affectionately known, was tough-tackling, no-nonsense centre-half that made 426 appearances for Notts County Football Club – scoring 21 goals – over an 11-year period.  He enjoyed many successes under the astute management of Jimmy Sirrel and Jack Wheeler.

This episode is a must for us all, as we look forward to the next year. Paul and John share some key tips that we can all use effectively on the journey towards our fitness goals.

These steps enable us all to get on and ‘Just do it’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Start small
• It takes less than you think to start challenging your body and inspiring changes. Plan for small wins on the journey to your goals. These will add momentum to your progress as the weeks go by.
• Just do it
• The more you think about it and doubt it the harder it becomes start today. There is no reason why you can’t start today so the important thing is to ‘Just do it’
• Set a schedule
• It is said that If it’s not written down, it doesn’t exist. Make sure to set up a paper or electronic schedule include meals and workouts. It’s important to focus on sticking to the schedule to fulfil your potential.
• Set yourself up for success
• Start by clearing out any left-overs to remove temptation. If you don’t have it in the house, then you don’t have to rely on willpower and have an increased chance of success.
• Accountability
• Find a workout partner. This provides someone who can encourage you and someone you can encourage. Share with your friends on social media telling them what your goals are – they can hold you to account; checking in on your progress.
• Make sure to give 72 hours of effort before you judge yourself. It takes 72 hours, regardless of any effort you make for sugar to move out of your system. Keep on exercising through the time frame and make any judgements later on to ensure they are accurate.

BEST MOMENTS

“Start challenging your body”

 “Biggest friend is momentum”

 “Don’t cancel yourself, don’t let yourself down”

 “Don’t sabotage yourself”

ABOUT THE GUEST

John Batterby was the youngest serviceman to serve in the Falklands War. From a very early age, his ambition was to become a serviceman, following in the footsteps of his Grand-father. Joining as a chef in the Royal Navy, John become a clearance bomb disposal diver. He always had the support of his parents and after 25 years in the Navy and leaving as an NCO went to Spain to become a Personal Trainer.

Trainer John Facebook Page 

In this incredibly personal episode Paul talks with someone who has undertaken a difficult journey, that lots of us will be able to empathise with. He has chosen to share his experience in order that we can understand not only the personal challenges but also how having a mentor alongside him was vital to the emotional healing process. This is a story with an incredible twist and a message for us all.

“Each and every-one of us has a vulnerability but most of us choose to put up a wall for self-protection the irony is that you’re not protecting yourself. My mentor kept saying I was going to come through it and there was part that believed in this, but a part didn’t,

He gave me the strength to keep going, one day at a time.” 

KEY TAKEWAYS

• Faith can be defined as complete trust in someone and a mentor is someone who it is possible to have complete faith in. Having a mentor can make the difference between making it through; or not making it.

• A mentor who has empathy and keeps believing in you can make a difference. It’s somebody who’s by your side saying you can do this, you need to embrace it. Everybody on this planet at some time needs help and support and its nothing to be ashamed of.
• Learning to cry – lots of people grow up being expected to just get on with it but supressing feelings in this way doesn’t help. it’s important to be able to acknowledge and be honest about feelings so that its then possible to move forward
• Understanding that the people around you do want to help. it’s important not to isolate yourself. It’s vital to believe that people love you, and to learn that it is true. There is no quick fix, but you must learn to believe in yourself.

Believe in those people who are fighting for you because they do it for a reason; because they love you - something everyone needs.

• There are defining moments in your life and you might experience a point at which you feel everything is falling apart. Acknowledging that everyone experiences negative situations is vital and looking back and recognising what has happened to you, is an important step in the process of letting go and moving forward.

 The journey forwards can seem very daunting and alongside a mentor it’s all about taking one step at a time. Every day is different and the more you do, the better it is; although each day can be a battle - it does get easier though.

BEST MOMENTS

“Constantly, on a daily basis (my mentor) would ring me up to see how I was.”

“Kept building me up all the time; didn’t necessarily agree but appreciated him keeping me going”

“Took my breathe away, with someone just saying - thanks Kev, that helped”

“If I didn’t have that support, I don’t think I’d be here now”

“Mentor had second sense as he rang to remind me how well I was doing and that I would come through the other side”

“Faith to me, is starting to believe”

“No quick-fix but just believe in yourself”

This highly engaging podcast features an interview with Paul Hart, as he reflects on the values and principles that he has adhered to throughout his highly successful career as both a professional footballer and coach. He provides an insight into his career and the many ways football has changed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The principles of respect are vital and to help develop this culture, is an expectation of good manners, no feigning of injury and no abuse; these are all good, positive traits to have in place.
• Playing football the right way with principles and discipline stands the test of time. An approach with the same disciplines throughout all levels of the club ensures the players are more confident.
• Values and a vision for success that are shared by everyone throughout the organisation are key to achieving goals.
• Believing in yourself and your team is an imperative component when building a successful organisation. It is belief about what you can achieve that drives a successful journey.
• Trust is a key component for a coach/ manager. The team need to be confident that they are not going to be let down. There needs to be confidence that everyone will do their best.
• Fulfilling the role of teacher requires that you have to know and to know anything you have to research it yourself
• You must always stand by what you believe in. When you have a focus in life and know what you stand for and against, then you are undeterred about reaching your goals. 

BEST MOMENTS

“Playing football in the right way.”

“Get involved in everything and it was important that they saw me everywhere.”

“Hopefully they see what you’re doing and follow.”

“I had total trust.”

“But we’ll send them out the door far  better men than they came through it.”

 “Every ship needs a rudder and I’m going to try and be that rudder.”

ABOUT THE GUEST - Paul Hart

Paul Hart made is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender; having five-year playing spells with both Blackpool and Leeds United – having also played for Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday, amongst other clubs.

Paul subsequently began his management career at Chesterfield in 1988, but left within three years and spent the following decade as a youth team coach for Leeds United and then Nottingham Forest.  In both cases, Paul quickly built a reputation for developing young, talented footballers – both on and off the field.

This podcast is an essential guide to managing healthy celebrations. Paul and Trainer John share advice that we can all use to ensure that any time of celebration can be enjoyed without giving up on your fitness goals. This advice can be used effectively across any period of celebration - anything from a cruise, to the Christmas holidays.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Always have breakfast.
• Make sure to choose a healthy breakfast as this will also help you focus on achieving your goals for the day. Breakfast is the meal people often skip but it’s the most important one of all.
• If you don’t use it, you lose it
• When you skip meals, your metabolism is at a stand-still and doesn’t have to work to break down food.  As a result, when you do eat your metabolism is not as efficient and stores food as fat. Skipping meals can cause overeating and bingeing, which alters your metabolic rate.
• Be mindful of what you eat
• Survey everything before you eat and ask yourself what will I enjoy having the most?
• Choose to eat the foods that will bring you the most satisfaction. Make sure to avoid seconds and thirds by ensuring you fill up with vegetables. Keep your plate colourful with fruit and vegetables such as cranberries and broccoli.
• Everything in moderation
• An important rule is to have everything in moderation including drink, as alcohol adds to the calorie count for the day. It’s a celebration but don’t over-indulge or you’ll suffer later. Listen to your body when you begin to feel full take notice and stop as this is one way to stop over-eating.

BEST MOMENTS

“Keep it clean - to stay lean!

 “Important to realise alcohol adds to the calorie count for the day”

“Before a meal, drink some water; often hunger pains are actually thirst pains”

In today’s insightful episode of The Mastering Life Podcast, your host Paul Lowe interviews a very well-known personal trainer, John Batterby. Paul and John discuss their experiences about pre-celebrations and dive into what it is, how it works and how you can benefit.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Pre-celebration. Could be something like a a family get-together, Christmas, weddings etc.
• With this in mind, lots of people will take their eyes off what they're doing; particularly their goals & short-term goals.
• In this time, you need to be focused on what you do or were supposed to do and also, you should keep in mind that you need to stay healthy throughout for you to be able to work efficiently and achieve your success.
• What happens when you start dodging and your cutting things out from your food; what your body requires, your metabolic rate slows down then what happens is your body starts panicking and start storing fat so at the end of the celebration when you go back to normal you start putting weight on very easy because the metabolic rate is really slow.
• If you are somebody that doesn't actually do any physical exercise/ training and its celebration time, carry on eating as normal but make sure you're eating clean, healthy things.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Most people only want to do things excessively over a short period.  A pre-period of celebration is getting ready and relaxed - spending some quality time with the families."
• “It’s best to keep the physical exercise/ training going.”
• “Eat clean, eat well but intensify your training if it’s on celebration period.”

ABOUT THE HOST

Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
