14 weeks پیش57:08

57:08

Whether on the track or in the boardroom, 400m Olympian Andrew Steele's story proves that mental toughness and reinvention are key to success. His ability to push through challenges and adapt shows resilience is a skill we can all carry with us, whatever the arena. Here are my three takeaways from our conversation: 1️⃣ Resilience is a transferable skill → The mental toughness Andrew built as an athlete prepared him to tackle the challenges of entrepreneurship head-on. 2️⃣ Focus on the process, not just the result → Whether in sport or business, daily consistency and commitment are what drive success. 3️⃣ Reinvention is success → After athletics, Andrew co-founded DNAFit, a health-tech company that was later acquired. His journey proves success is about evolving and finding new passions, not just collecting accolades. Andrew’s story reminds us that life’s twists shape us – it’s how we respond that defines us.

15 weeks پیش58:25

58:25

Today we’re joined by Chris Boyd , highly respected rugby coach with extensive experience in both New Zealand and the UK. Known for his tactical expertise and leadership, Chris shares insights into his coaching journey, including his time with the Kiwi U20s, the Hurricanes and Northampton Saints; as well as the mental side of high-performance sport. As a close mentor to Dan Biggar, their relationship adds an extra layer of depth to the conversation, offering a unique perspective on coaching, leadership, and team dynamics. Show notes: Continuous Improvement for Elite Players "The very best players are gifted in one part of their game... but there's always something to work on." Boyd emphasises the importance of consistent self-improvement, regardless of a player's talent Creating a Culture of Empowerment "People that feel empowered, belong, connected are always going to want to try harder and perform better." Boyd fostered a culture at Saints where players felt supported and empowered, leading to better team cohesion and performance Philosophy on Risk and Reward Boyd’s allowed players to take risks: "The Kiwi attitude probably is a little bit more..., if we can hold on to the ball... we’re back in the game." He contrasts the risk-averse mindset of Northern Hemisphere teams with the more fluid, risk-taking style from New Zealand rugby Building a Resilient Team "You can’t grow culture, culture grows itself." Boyd reflects on how setbacks, such as tough defeats, can be used to build resilience and foster a team’s growth Empathy and Connection in Leadership "Coaching rugby is a pleasure and a privilege... life experiences teach you to be calm." Boyd discusses the importance of emotional intelligence, both in coaching and managing people Developing Players Beyond Rugby "You get used to living on big wages... but when the game stops, you can fall off the cliff." He warns about the challenges players face post-retirement and importance of planning for life beyond sport The Importance of 'Why’ Boyd introduced a "Why Board" at Saints, where players would place personal photos to remind themselves of their purpose: "The last thing you saw before going out onto the pitch was why you were doing it." This initiative reinforced the idea that personal motivation connects with team success Coaching Style: Balancing the Carrot and Stick Boyd contrasts his coaching style with that of other famous coaches: "Eddie Jones wanted to keep you on your toes... with me, it was black and white." He believes in being clear and consistent with players, empowering them to express themselves without fear of failure Please leave a review if you like the podcast; and share with friends.

In this episode of A Load of BS on Sport , we sit down with one of England's most charismatic cricketers, Graeme Swann . A key figure in 3 England Ashes victories, Graeme opens up about his unconventional approach to spin bowling, the team dynamics that fuelled success, and his transition from the cricket field to coaching. With his trademark humour, we reflect on the highs, lows, and everything in between, offering unique insights into the mental game that defined his career. Show Notes: The Psychology of Spin Bowling : Graeme details his mental approach to the game, likening it to a battle of wits with batsmen. He explains his strategy of bowling aggressively and using field placements to create opportunities for catches. "When you're bowling spin, there’s no magic, no gamesmanship, just pure outthinking the batsman and creating an environment that makes them second guess themselves." The Theatre of Spin Bowling: Graeme describes his belief in taking wickets from the first ball and how the theatre of the game added to his success. The Intensity of Team Dynamics : We discuss his relationship with teammates like Kevin Pietersen, the importance of team dynamics, including the role of conflict in driving success. He shares insights into the famous Ashes campaign of 201/11 and the energy of the changing room. Career Highlights and Transition : We reflect on his peak Ashes performances and the unexpected and abrupt end to his career due to a debilitating injury. He shares how he struggled with the transition from active cricket to coaching, revealing how returning to coaching reignited his passion. "I didn’t have time to think about retiring. One day I couldn’t feel my hand, and by the next, I was finished. It was a brutal end to a career I loved." Please leave a review if you like the podcast; and share with friends.

009: Carl Frampton on Grit and Boxing Greatness 47:48

47:48

Dan Biggar and Dan Ross step out of their comfort zone to dive into the world of boxing with none other than Carl Frampton —Northern Ireland’s first two-division world champion, renowned not just for his incredible achievements in the ring, but also for his resilience, humility, and ability to unite people across divides. In this episode, Carl opens up about the mental and physical challenges of being in one of the most gruelling sports, the hard lessons he’s learned, and what really drives him—whether it’s legacy, family, or simply the love of the fight. From his most gruelling battles to the life lessons he carries with him today, Carl shares a truly fascinating story. Show Notes: Early Beginnings & Boxing Passion: Carl reveals how he started boxing at age seven. Despite finding the repetitive training tedious, it was the sparring and the thrill of the fight that ignited his passion for boxing Hard Work vs. Talent: Carl reflects on his career by stating, "I wasn’t naturally talented, but I worked hard." Carl pushed through the pain and overcame early doubts, earning his place as one of the best in his weight class Resilience & Mental Toughness: Carl gives an inside look at what goes through his mind before a fight. He talks about the nerves that hit on fight day, especially the pressure of making weight Tough Fights & Lessons Learned: A defining moment in Carl's career was his European title fight against Kiko Martinez. He recounts the brutal nine rounds where both his hands were broken, and he was hurt to the body and head, but fought through to win. "That was a moment where I knew I could hang with the best," Carl says The Pressure of Being a Champion: After becoming a world champion, Carl felt the pressure to constantly perform at his best. He recalls the heightened expectations after his first world title win in 2014, where every fight seemed to carry more weight. He admits, "It’s nice when people buy you drinks and congratulate you, but there’s pressure too." The Breakdown with Barry McGuigan: Carl openly discusses his fallout with his former manager and mentor. The experience taught Carl not to trust people blindly and to be more cautious in his professional relationships Life After Boxing: Now a commentator for TNT Sports, Carl is still deeply involved in the boxing world but enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle. He talks about how, after years of gruelling training camps, it's refreshing to stay involved in the sport without the physical toll Legacy and Lessons: Carl expresses pride in being the first Northern Irishman to win world titles in two different weight divisions. "I want to be remembered for exciting, tough fights," Carl says, acknowledging his battles with Kiko Martinez, Josh Warrington and Leo Santa Cruz Please leave a review if you like the podcast; and share with friends.

Join us as we dive into the mind of Sir Andrew Strauss , one of England's greatest cricket captains. From leading his team to Ashes glory twice to navigating the highs and lows of elite sport, Strauss shares powerful insights on leadership, resilience, and life beyond the game. This is a conversation about more than runs and wickets—it's about legacy, culture, and what it truly means to thrive under pressure. Show Notes: "Cricket requires players to accept the randomness of fate - a hard pill for perfectionists." Three key takeaways: Resilience and adaptability in elite sport: even the top batsmen in cricket go through periods of poor form and this can take a mental toll on players: "Batsmen must be philosophical. You fail more often than you succeed, and you have to price that in." Developing coping mechanisms and a mindset to manage these ebbs and flows is key Importance of team culture: "Athletes thrive when they feel cared for and supported. If they feel cared for, they’ll forgive many of your weaknesses as a leader." A strong culture and the importance of balancing family life with cricket are critical – particularly when some players are away 300 days a year Leadership: the role of leadership is to balance the needs of individual with collective goals. "You can’t afford to let everyone do exactly what they want, but successful teams allow for individuality within a shared framework" Please leave a review if you like the podcast; and share with friends.

Welcome to Series 3 of A Load of BS - very much on Sport now! I am thrilled to be sat alongside Welsh Rugby Union and British Lions star Dan Biggar as my new co-host. In this opening episode, as Dan and Dan get to know each other, we explore the mental aspects of top end sports performance, including handling pressure, technical soundness, and the evolution of Dan's mindset throughout his career. Dan shares insights into handling pressure during crucial moments, such as World Cup kicks and Lions matches. Dan Biggar this is. Dan Ross kicks balls only in parks if the knees allow. We cover thoughts on leadership strategies within teams, understanding different personalities, and adapting to various cultural contexts in rugby clubs across Dan’s career for Ospreys, Northampton to Toulon. And Dan reflects on the impact of coaches like Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards on his career, emphasizing their ability to understand individual players’ needs and motivations. Dan shares the story of the beginning of his career - his mother’s influence and the impact Jonny Wilkinson (a future pod guest!) had on him during the 2003 World Cup and beyond. And a cracking anecdote about drinking Gin & Tonics with Usain Bolt watching Man Utd together. Even Bolt and Biggar needed booze to manage the torpor of watching football at Old Trafford!
