E137 - Nick Cox: Why the future IS bright at Manchester United Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

Nick Cox is the Head of Academy at Manchester United. He has previously been an Academy Manager at Sheffield United FC. In this episode, Nick shares with us the key to high performance - people and relationships. For Nick, high performance is about finding those small windows of alignment where you are in flow, and then when you are not in that state your time should be spent rebuilding to return to it.

As Head of Academy, Nick offers insight into how to best lead and mentor children and young adults into becoming whole, well-rounded people. One key aspect that Jake, Damian and Nick discuss is how failure is crucial for children, and why their mentors or parents need to explain to them why ‘sitting on the bench’ is a positive thing.

Nick discusses the importance of challenging your outlook, tackling discomfort and doing what excites you.

E135 - Owen O'Kane: Why self care is vital for high performance Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

Owen O’Kane is a psychotherapist, former NHS Mental Health Lead and author of the best-selling book, How To Be Your Own Therapist. Owen grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, he struggled to accept his sexuality as a gay man - once even trying to be 'healed' of his homosexuality during a visit to Lourdes. He has had a varied career, from training to be a priest, to working in palliative care - this is reflected in Owen’s open and well-rounded understanding of humanity.

In this powerful episode Jake and Damian open up about their own worries, fears and negative thoughts. Owen takes them through how to tackle the noise in their mind and escape the ‘overthinking trap’. His key message is how important therapy can be and how we should all be trying to make ourselves happier.

BITESIZE #74 | Tim Wigmore: Why younger siblings are better at sport Jul 15, 2022

Little siblings statistically have a significantly greater chance of becoming elite athletes….

This week we have an exclusive extract from an incredible keynote speech from our members club The High Performance Circle with sports journalist and author Tim Wigmore.

Tim unveils his research and explores why being a little sibling helps so much - younger siblings are challenged more, helping them develop the skills and psychological traits that athletes need - and how children without older siblings can enjoy the same advantages.
