Fascia is quite possibly a term you've never heard of before, despite its importance in both Europe & the United States. It's an incredibly powerful, and untapped performance enhancer that the likes of the German Football Team train - yes, the world cup winners - amongst many other professional teams

And today, we are blessed to have Jesse Hankin, 1 of only 2 Level III Fascial Stretch Therapists in Australia on to discuss the wonderful world of fascia, how to train it, and how it will increase performance and enhance recovery

Jake Shoesmith was an up-and-coming goalkeeper. He made his 1st-grade debut at the age of 16, and was on the radar of FCB Escola, the feeder system for footballing giants Barcelona. Five broken ankles in five years saw his dreams dashed, and he found himself in seemingly insurmountable darkness with no way out. And this is what can happen when young athletes identify themselves with their sport and shut themselves off to everything else life has to offer us

We touch on shifting our identities, how to overcome the most seemingly insurmountabe of obstacles, and the steps it takes to cultivate a champions mindset

Kathleen has been there & done most of everything... From being a junior representative netballer and national level track athlete - to beginning her own netball 'federation' in Tamworth to coaching the Australian Indigenous Netball team - it's safe to say she knows a thing or two from the perspective of both sides

We delve into the hidden impact and influence both parents & coaches unknowingly have on their kids, how we should be viewing and coaching "failure", and the one commonality she's seen in all the best athletes/kids she's coached - and how the young athletes of today can learn this skill

At the age of 8, Ben Atkins had a dream to represent his country in Paralympic Football - but he never thought it’d be possible for him because of all the perceived limitations society placed on him Fast-forward to now, and he’s been in the system for the past 10 years, wrapping up 50 caps and being blessed with the vice-captaincy at the young age of 18 He’s lived first-hand the experience of how to overcome the utmost of adversity and self-imposed limitations. And here, he shares his story about how he overcame those limitations, and how the next generations of young athletes & adolescents can do the same...
