The World’s Fastest Blind Man on Not Fearing the Unknown, with David R. Brown Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

META PERFORMANCE SHOW | Three-time Paralympian David R. Brown talks with us about winning Gold in the 100 meter event at the 2016 Paralympic Games in Brazil and becoming the fastest blind sprinter in the world. After losing his sight at age 13, David overcame the subsequent fear and depression by focusing his energy on his incredible physical abilities, rather than disabilities, and giving himself motivational pep talks under his breath while competing. David shares why he feels good every time another blind runner beats his time and describes the fascinating mechanics of racing while tethered to a guide runner and synchronizing their steps at record-breaking speeds. While David continues his Track and Field training in preparation for the 2024 Paris Games, he also runs a motivational speaking business and has begun playing competing in blind soccer (a.k.a. 5-a-side Football).

Avoiding Burnout + Mastering Rest in the Pursuit of Meta Performance Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

ON COACHING | Meta performance, when pursued effectively, pushes the limits of your capabilities and yields a new level of personal and professional achievement. But there is a risk to watch out for in the journey of meta performance; a slippery slope of expending all your energy on tireless hardwork at the cost of physical and emotional wellness. "There needs to be an equal, proportionate upgrade of resting as you upgrade your performance." Listen to coaches Jason Jaggard, Jon Roberts, Amanda Jaggard, and Dan Leffelaar illustrate why self-care and rest are not weaknesses or indulgences but, rather, necessary fuel to allow you to sustain high levels of performance without succumbing to burnout.

The Holiday Bonus Episode: Family Dynamics, Connection + Grief Nov 23, 2021

Show notes

Navigating the holidays: three segments with Novus Global coaches Amanda Jaggard, Chris North, Dan Leffelaar and Johan Martinez-Khalilian.

1. Family Expectations + Agreements
The holidays can bring about both joy and immense pressure...demands for your time; high expectations from your kids; managing finances, travel, or sensitive family dynamics. Amanda shares insights from her various lenses over the years--single, married, divorced, before children, after children, and through lifestyle changes. She and the team detail three specific tools to use to set you and your family up for success during the holidays and beyond.

2. Cultivating Connection
Why do we gather? For many of us, a desire for connectedness is at the root of the holiday tradition; yet meaningful connection sometimes gets overshadowed by a sense of burden and obligation. The group discusses this common disconnect and how to realign. Chris explores divisiveness, tension, curiosity, and why it is so beneficial to approach gatherings with a posture of "listening to understand, rather than speaking to be right."

3. Grief + Loss
It's natural to feel grief more deeply during the holidays, a time when we're expected to be happy. Johan, Dan and the team share personal stories about their own experiences with grief. They address different types of loss that people face--death, divorce, unemployment, the loss of an expectation ("Why don't I have a family yet?")--and how to create space for both sorrow and joy to coexist.

A Sports Agent's Map for Success, with Matt Hannaford Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

YOUR FINEST HOUR | Sports agent Matt Hannaford talks about the future of sports agencies, the free agent model, entrepreneurship, and the prevalence of self-doubt and isolation among pro athletes. Matt advocates for restructuring a historically toxic industry and praising competitors for good work and he defines success in his field as empowering and equipping players with the right information and education so to make agents one day obsolete. He poses the question: Are you truly happy if you're only looking out for yourself? Interviewed by Dan Leffelaar, Matt speaks with his coach, Jason Jaggard, about their coach-client relationship and the discomfort when Jason asks Matt pointed questions that force him to be held accountable.
