Rugby: “I didn't want to die” - A battle with Cocaine   Today's guest has seen success in many areas of his life   From representing Harlequins in Rugby   To landing a successful role in London in life after he finished playing   But that pursuit took Kent Bray down a road that he wasn't expecting   He always wondered “what's next?”   Until the day that question took him towards a coping mechanism that he had never tried before   Which led him down the path of Cocaine addiction spending 80k a year on this drug   Even though he knew what was happening he wasn't able to stop it as he had ran out of steam   And through the community in his sport he is able to share his story today   Where he now helps young men with counselling and mentoring to ensure they don't make the same early mistakes he did   Let's ruck up together and check out this incredible episode

A Midlife Crisis at 11 years old with Mo Farrah's training partner   Safe to say today's guest kept me on my toes with this interview   Because if a challenging childhood wasn't enough of going through Alopecia and succumbing to bullying   Adam Strong went through what he described a Mid Life crisis at 11 years old   Growing up in a council estate with not much money   Adam found his entrepreneurial feet by selling golf balls he found In the stream   Not only that this below average athlete decided to take up long distance running   Which took him to a place that he never knew he needed   And he became not only Mo Farrah's training partner but a friend of the Mo Bot too   There is no time to waste   Lace up those spikes and run on over to check this awesome episode out

Teaching Athletes to Fill Their Mental Filing Cabinets   AAG is back with it's first interview episode of 2025   And what better way to start than going inside the mind of someone who goes inside the athletes mind   Colin Booth and I have crossed paths recently in our Ice Hockey World   And he love and passion for his Athlete Neuro Performance is clear for everyone to see   Colin realised that X's and O's weren't for him in the coaching space   And he wanted to figure out how one athlete could perform one task with ease yet another found it incredibly difficult   This work has led him to forming his own business MG1 Elite Performance   And now he gets to assists athletes improve their in game performance working on the finer details of their brain which returns an increase not only in their in play game but:   Resilience Decision Making Smarter Actions Curiosity   And arguably the most valuable   It keeps them away from society pressures of the online social and gaming world which is having a profound negative affect on young people's brains   I know you've missed these   So, what are you waiting for?   Download the episode right now and catch up with our chat on your next break   Shaun     Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk

Do you prefer Playing on the Edge?   This was something that was drilled into us at a young age   That to be up there with the best you have to play of edge   Playing safe within sport wasn't an option to stand out and succeed   And if you think about it now everyone you likely look up to in life   In some way stands out because they dare to be different   To do things that the majority won't do   In today's Shaun Short episode on the Always Another Game Podcast I talk about my experience with playing on the edge   And how not only can that help you in sport   But within your business and your personal brand too   As it allows you to be your true authentic self and stand out from the crowd     Ready to push the boundaries a little bit   Go on I dare you    

Sport has shaped who you are today   How often has life slapped you in the face? Not like a little tap But a wake up you numpty lets frickin go here? Because when I look back over my sporting journey there are a number of key moments That shaped the man you see before you today   No not him Pssst over here Yes me On today's Shaun Short Episode of the Always Another Game Podcast I dig into THREE essential lessons from different phases of my caree From 13 Year Old teary eyed Shaun To the biggest Life Change I have experienced to this date Come and Join me as I discuss;   Failure being a key element of success Proving yourself right or wrong How life works in mysterious ways   I can't wait to share these with you   See you there   Shaun   Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk

You're about to be ambushed?     Are you ready?   Because life gets you when you least expect it   and Plan A isn't often enough   The key is to be ready to ADAPT and OVERCOME   So you can handle all of life's unexpected stresses   And I learnt this in an incredible book called Extreme Ownership     Which is the topic of my conversation today   On how in sport you never know what you will come up against   and you need to be on your toes not only in a game but in;     Parenting Business Life     Prepare yourself today to sit down and give this one a listen so you're ready for when you least expect it

Should you call a Time Out? because in sport these can be an incredible asset to a team or A coach's worst nightmare as there are so many ways a TIME OUT can be used that can give you;

Roller blading: Finding the Zone of Fulfilment   As soon as I spoke with today's guest, I knew there was going to be an incredible energy to this episode   David Lederman is a;  

When you think about it we are all athletes every day we wake up we aim to perform whether that is at home at work or with our health Our aim is to be at our best and today's guest Greg Fearon teaches this with his clients while working as a Nutrition and Mindset Coach Being a late bloomer in sport due to his weight struggles, Greg found he had an incredible talent for Sprinting and Football   which finally led him down the path of Kung Fu after being inspired by Jackie Chan   Today Greg helps his mainly female client base overcome the same challenges he had in life by inspiring them by helping them learn that how you do something is how you do everything   are you ready?   Because everyone was Kung Fu Fighting but now they're tuning into this episode instead See you there Shaun

What if the cards are stacked against you?   because life is challenging and more often than not the odds are against us  So when it does get tough how do you manage those tricky times?   Back when I played there would be times that I would thrive against adveristy and other times when I would find it difficult   the biggest difference in these scenarios was that internal belief    Which is something I have dug deep on since i've finished playing    come and join me today as I share a story from a memorable game later on in my career   and lets take you internally to help you thrive when the cards are stacked against you   Shaun   Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk

Inside the mind of the one that goes inside the athlete's mind   I used to think sports psychology was woowoo   I tried it once for a minute and wrote it off   Yet there is a reason why many professional sports now have their own highly skilled staff looking after their players mental well being   Because without it then you will never see a peak physical performance   And on today's episode of Always Another Game Podcast I have the pleasure of talking to Manchester Storm Ice Hockey Club's Well Being Consultant Liz Stewart   I broke a few of my own rules here today because Liz didn't grow up with a sporting story   Yet she is involved in one of my core values of this podcast and that is supporting and looking after the well being on not just Ice Hockey Players but athletes   We discuss today the importance of the players having someone they trust they can talk to   And how priceless it is for a coach and organisation to have a person involved in your team getting the best out of your players   If you have every been interested in how your mental performance hugely affects your physical   Then you're going to want to glide on over to hear what Liz has to say

Who is in your corner?   Do you know?   You know those people that would go to war for you and expect nothing in return   And their belief in you drives you forward into things you once though was impossible   Because on today's Shaun Short episode we discuss the influence that certain people have in our lives   As many times an athlete has mentioned a Coach or Sensi that has made an incredible impact on their career and life   And I felt it would be great to dig a little deeper into this topic   Because sometimes you may not even know you had someone until you lost them   Don't panic I'm not going to take up too much of your time with the Shaun Short episodes so you can fit one in today   I can't wait to see you over there   Shaun

  “Injuries have shaped how I approach my career today”   These are the exact words of England Hockey Strength and Conditioning Coach and former Professional Ice Hockey player Rupert Quiney   From being inspired by his dad to play   Rupert has to over come all odds to make it pro   Growing up around a club that at the time was not playing at the highest level would seem too far fetched for a young athlete to stand out   Yet this didn't deter Rupert   But due to a series of serious injuries he was forced to re think about what direction his career was going in   And now he gets to help young athletes avoid going through the pain and struggle he did   Which you can feel the passion he has for doing this in the episode today   Lets glide on over with me to listen to this one    

I've never been a numbers guy…   The thought of any pressurised maths sends me into a bigger freeze state than Walt Disney   And many will argue and say that I need to get a handle on this   But in a team sport it doesn't matter if one player has scored 5 goals if you lose 8-5   You need the players who block shots, support you when you're down and bring the energy for the whole team just by how they show up   You see there are so many other ways to thrive away from numbers   Whether that is in your parenting Personal Development And Business   And I share my thoughts on this powerful Shaun Short episode on the Always Another Game Podcast today   Short and Sweet just like me…   Joining me?   Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk
