The legendary American Football coach, Vince Lombardi, said: “It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up."  Now that's true in American Football, and it's also true in life.  No matter how well you plan your day or your week, your plan will inevitably get attacked by outside influences.  A disorganised, reactive boss, a tired son or daughter who won't get out of bed in the morning, a traffic jam on the way to an important meeting, or your accountant telling you that you need to pay a big tax bill.  These are all sudden, impossible to plan for attacks on your carefully planned day.  Having a plan is one part of a productive day. Having an arsenal of tools to defend your plan is another. And it's that part that most people never prepare for.  In this week's episode, I will share with you a few ideas that will help you defend your plan and show you how to get back on track if you are prevented from following it through.  Let's go.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Whenever I ask a client how their week went, most answers are negative.  They usually go something like: “Well, it started well. I got everything I wanted done on Monday and Tuesday completed, but then I had to suddenly go out to see a customer on Wednesday morning, and that just threw me off track. I didn't get back to the office until 4ish, and then I had to report back to my boss. That went on until 6:00 pm. Argh! It was a disaster”  Well, was is a disaster?  Perhaps not. All it was was one day out of five that did not go as planned.  It's possible that a day like this will have put you behind on your plan for the week. It could also mean that getting everything you want done that week will no longer be possible. But that does not necessarily mean it's become a disaster.  The issue really is not preventing things from going wrong; that would be a challenge beyond almost everyone. Instead, the focus should be on recovering from an unexpected event or interruption to minimise the damage to your plan.  And in this week's episode, I will share a few ideas to help you quickly get back on track after one of these inevitable, unexpected events. But before I do that, I'd like to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question, but sadly, once again, she's sunning herself in a resort somewhere, so I'm afraid it's me reading out the question again.  This week's question comes from Will. Will asks, “ Hi Carl, I've finally become consistent with my weekly planning (thank you for the tip about doing it on a Saturday morning). My problem now is when I look at my plan at the end of the week, I've got practically none of it done. There's always some emergency that throws me off my plan. How do I get myself to stay on track?” Hi Will,  Thank you for your question.  Now, the first thing I would tell anyone is not to go for perfection. If you have ten things that you plan to get done over the next seven days but only manage to do seven, I would say that was a pretty good week.  You did seven important things that you wanted to do. That's a 70% success rate. I'd take that.  The reality is you are unlikely to ever hit 100%. I know I never have; in fact, I don't think I've ever met anyone who has.  There are just too many things that can happen that will throw you off track. Plus there's the human side of things too.  We often expect to be able to do far more than is possible, and then there's always a missing piece of information that you need to ask someone else for, and they are away all week at a conference and won't be able to send it to you until next week.  There could be a proposal you submit, anticipating approval, only to have it sent back to you for adjustments that will then require resubmitting.  None of these can be anticipated; building in some buffer time can help, but it's still not likely to give you a 100% success rate.  If you are hitting 100% consistently, that's likely to suggest that you are not pushing yourself hard enough to develop, but that's a whole different story.  One trick I often suggest to my coaching clients is to build in a “catch-up” afternoon, or, if you can, a “catch-up day”, later in the week where you avoid scheduling meetings or other commitments and keep it free for catching up on anything you may have fallen behind with. For example, I don't schedule anything on a Thursday afternoon. I often have meetings mid-morning (I think of it as a calls day), and one task: writing this script.  Other than that, there's nothing. This means that if I am behind on anything, I have a whole afternoon to catch up. (There's always something I will be behind on) This week, I am behind on a few videos I want to record. Should have got them done yesterday, but I ran out of time. So, this afternoon I will be recording.  Another tip is to look at your weekly plan not as a task-level plan, but as a set of objectives. In other words, plan for bigger things such as making progress on a project, getting four exercise sessions in, clearing a backlog or resolving an issue with a customer.  This is a reason why I developed the Weekly Planning Matrix. It's four squares representing four areas of your life:  Core work: the work you are employed to do. (Just as an aside here, if you're a part of my Learning Centre, last week's Learning Note has an excellent example of how Warren Buffett identified his core work) Projects and issues: these are the higher-level things you want to make progress on professionally. Personal: For things that need addressing in your personal life, such as scheduling a doctor's appointment, deciding how many exercise sessions you will do, etc.  And finally, the radar, which is for things you do not need to do anything about but should be aware of. For instance, if your in-laws are coming round for a few days later this month, or you're waiting for a package to be delivered.  Because you're limited for space in each square, you become mindful about trying to do too much. If your projects and issues square is full, and next to that you see all your core work tasks, you will instantly see if you are being over-optimistic about what you can get done that week.  I'll leave a link to a video I did on doing the Weekly Planning Matrix in the show notes for you. The next idea is related to your daily planning.  Because it is almost inevitable that an unexpected event will occur at some point during the week, your daily planning can be used to reassess your weekly plan.  Let me give you an example from my week this week. I planned to record some additional videos on Tuesday, but when I went to set things up, I discovered that the local government had decided Tuesday was a great day to dig up the road right outside my office. Jackhammers, reversing vehicle warning beeps, and road cleaners were all in full operation. It was an orchestra of wonderful modern city life noise That plan had to be scrapped. So, I looked at my calendar and saw that Thursday afternoon was clear (it always is, remember, for catch-up), so I moved the time block to Thursday afternoon.  Now, I did that calendar adjustment as soon as I realised I wasn't going to be able to record the videos, but I could easily have left it until later in the day, when I did my daily planning.  That's why your daily planning is so useful. It allows you some time each day to step back, reassess your plan for getting the important things done and make any alterations based on the new information you have.  And that brings me onto the timing of your daily planning.  Time and time again, when one of my clients switches over to planning their day the evening before, they tell me that it was life-changing.  It's life-changing because you will immediately discover your evenings are more relaxing. Once you've planned the day, your brain lets go of all the stuff you're feeling a little anxious about. It quietens down.  You also find you sleep better because you know what you will be doing the next day and that all your “bases” are covered, so to speak. No more “oh Crikey. I forgot to do X” just as you're drifting off to sleep.  And when you begin your day, you're already clear about what needs to be done. That gives you a tremendous amount of focus and prevents you from going looking for trouble by looking at your actionable email, sifting through Slack or Teams messages or going into Jira looking for open tickets.  Now, I know all that's well and good, but what happens if one of these legendary Unexpected Events happens when you're in the middle of doing your most important work for the day?  This is the proverbial Vince Lombardi's “getting knocked down” situation. And as Vince Lombardi says, it's all about getting back up again once you've been knocked down.  The only thing I've found that works here is that once you've dealt with the Unexpected Event, pause. Yes, that's right. Stop.  Just briefly. Look at your calendar and see when your next committed appointment is, and take a look at your prioritised task list and see what's left to do. Often you will find that now that you no longer have the time you thought you would have, some of the remaining tasks can be rescheduled to another day.  You may need to send a quick message to someone who is expecting something from you, but what you want to be doing is resetting your priorities based on the time you have left.  For those of you who wisely set aside time to deal with your actionable emails and messages, you could reduce the time you spend there. For instance, if you have an hour protected for admin and communications later in the day, cut it to 30 minutes.  Remember, with things like messages and emails, one is always greater than zero. Giving yourself thirty minutes today means you're not going to have to find an extra hour tomorrow. What was that old proverb, “a stitch in time saves nine”? Something like that.  I would add an extra tip here. Something I've found very helpful. That is to reassess your prioritised task list between each session of work.  Emails and messages, for example, can be devastating to even the best-laid plans. Given that most of us check our messages between sessions of work anyway, there's always the danger that you'll find an Unexpected Event” that requires thirty minutes or so of your time.  So, give yourself a few minutes away from your desk and mentally re-evaluate your plan for the day. Be comfortable switching things around. For example, if you have to attend an unplanned meeting after lunch, you may find that moving your communication and admin time forward will reduce any pressure you may feel after the meeting.  So there you go, Will. I hope that has helped. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

The fellas back and discussing running back tiers in fantasy!

New Zealand's men's American Football team, the Iron Blacks, is facing one of the biggest fixtures in their history. They're one of three teams facing Australia in the Festival of Football this weekend, and will be looking to overturn last year's agonising 20-16 defeat on the Gold Coast. Head Coach Harry Siono told Piney the result's been a huge motivation for those who played last year, as well as the coaches and staff who were around at the time. He says they have a fairly young squad, with 18 debutants, so this match is a bit more personal for them than it is to most people there.

We also highlight the historic Rose Bowl game, where the Ohio State Buckeyes triumphed over the USC Trojans, marking a significant moment in college football. Throughout the discussion, we emphasize the implications of the impending merger, which would irrevocably alter the professional football landscape, as well as the emergence of coaching legends such as Chuck Noll and John Madden.

The 1969 American football season emerges as a pivotal chapter within the annals of sports history, encapsulating a moment of profound significance as it heralded the impending merger of the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL). The season unfurled against a backdrop of intense competition, exemplified most notably by the climactic Super Bowl III wherein the audacious Joe Namath, quarterback of the New York Jets, audaciously guaranteed victory over the heavily favored Baltimore Colts, a promise that he famously delivered upon. This singular event not only transformed the perception of the AFL, casting it as a legitimate rival to the established NFL, but also set the stage for a monumental shift in American football, culminating in the formal merger that would reshape the landscape of the sport for decades to come. Moreover, the 1969 season was marked by a rich tapestry of collegiate football achievements, most prominently the centennial celebration of college football. The Rose Bowl featured a compelling clash between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the USC Trojans, culminating in a decisive victory for Ohio State that would resonate throughout the history of college football. The season's narrative is further enriched by the introduction of iconic figures such as Chuck Noll and John Madden, both of whom would go on to leave indelible marks on the game as celebrated coaches. As the year progressed, notable milestones were achieved, including record-setting performances and thrilling rivalries that captivated fans across the nation. The culmination of the season was the historic Super Bowl IV, wherein the Kansas City Chiefs, representing the AFL, triumphed over the Minnesota Vikings, thus solidifying the AFL's place in the pantheon of American football. This episode serves as a profound exploration of a transformative era, encapsulating the essence of a season that would forever alter the trajectory of professional football in America.

The Festival of Football is taking place in Auckland today, with three Kiwi gridiron sides taking on three Australian sides at Trust Arena. The marquee fixture is between the Iron Blacks and the Aussie side, and it's the first time since 2003 that the match will be played on New Zealand soil. Following last year's narrow 20-16 loss over on the Gold Coast, the Iron Blacks will be eager to get one over our neighbours across the ditch. Captain of the Kiwi side, Ala Kaufana joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to chat about the upcoming clash. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sieben Super Bowl Siege. Über zwanzig Jahre an der Weltspitze. Für viele ist Tom Brady der beste Footballspieler aller Zeiten. Uns hat vor allem interessiert, wie Tom Brady führt und warum Menschen ihm über so viele Jahre gefolgt sind. Michael hatte bei OMR die Gelegenheit, Tom Brady persönlich zu interviewen. Aus diesem Gespräch ist eine Folge entstanden, die viel weniger über American Football erzählt als über Führung, Teamkultur und die Frage, wie wir Menschen besser machen können. Ein Gedanke zog sich durch das ganze Gespräch. Gute Führung beginnt damit, Menschen wirklich zu sehen. Tom Brady erzählt, wie er als erfahrener Superstar bewusst auf junge Teammitglieder zuging. Er lernte ihre Namen. Er fragte nach ihrer Geschichte. Er interessierte sich für ihre Familien, ihre Werte und ihre Ziele. Wir sprechen außerdem darüber: / warum Ego häufig der größte Gegner von Spitzenleistung ist, / weshalb unterschiedliche Menschen unterschiedliche Führung brauchen, / was Sportteams Unternehmen über Teamkultur voraus haben, / warum psychologische Sicherheit oft erfolgreicher macht als Druck, / und warum Führungskräfte gerade in schwierigen Momenten Hoffnung und Zuversicht vermitteln müssen. Natürlich sprechen wir auch über den legendären Super Bowl gegen die Atlanta Falcons. Michael hat das Spiel damals in einer Sportbar in Atlanta gesehen. Die Falcons führten kurz vor Schluss des dritten Drittels mit 28 zu 3. Die Menschen begannen bereits zu feiern. Niemand glaubte noch daran, dass New England zurückkommen würde. Dann drehte Tom Brady dieses Spiel tatsächlich noch. Michael war sofort klar, dass er gerade einen der größten Momente in der Geschichte dieses Sports erlebt hatte. Von diesem Abend an wollte er verstehen, was diesen Menschen ausmacht und wie es jemand schafft, unter maximalem Druck ruhig zu bleiben, ein Team immer wieder aufzurichten und über mehr als zwanzig Jahre auf höchstem Niveau Leistung zu bringen. Unsere fünf Learnings aus der Folge 1. Führung beginnt damit, Menschen wirklich zu sehen und sich ehrlich für sie zu interessieren. 2. Ego steht der Spitzenleistung oft im Weg. Teams gewinnen, wenn der gemeinsame Erfolg wichtiger wird als die eigene Bühne. 3. Gute Führung ist individuell. Jeder Mensch braucht etwas anderes, um sein Potenzial zu entfalten. 4. Hoffnung und Zuversicht gehören zu den wichtigsten Aufgaben einer Führungskraft. Gerade in schwierigen Situationen entscheidet die Haltung. 5. Starke Teamkultur schlägt langfristig einzelne Superstars und oft auch die bessere Strategie. Wie immer freuen wir uns über eure Gedanken. Welche Führungspersönlichkeit hat euch geprägt? Welche Sportlerin oder welcher Sportler ist für euch ein Vorbild für Leadership? Schreibt uns in die Kommentare, schickt uns Themen oder Gäste, die wir unbedingt einladen sollten. Und wenn euch die Folge gefallen hat, freuen wir uns sehr über eine Fünf Sterne Bewertung.

Takeaways: The year 1936 was monumental in the history of American football, impacting both college and professional levels significantly. The introduction of the first NFL draft in 1936 revolutionized player selection and team strategies in American football. Stanford's Valboys, a group of dedicated players, achieved their vow of defeating rival teams during the 1936 season. The inaugural Associated Press writers poll introduced a new method of ranking football teams, emphasizing human judgment over mathematical formulas. Larry Kelly of Yale became the first winner of the Heisman Trophy in 1936, marking a significant milestone in collegiate football. The Green Bay Packers secured their first NFL championship victory in 1936, defeating the Boston Redskins in a neutral-site game.

Die USA, Kanada und Mexiko organisieren zusammen die Fussball-WM. Politisch bestimmt aber hauptsächlich einer die Spielregeln: US-Präsident Trump. Die Reportage aus den USA und Kanada. Eine Fussball-Nation sind die USA eigentlich nicht. Die Mainstream-Sportarten sind American Football, Baseball, Basketball und Eishockey. Fussball ist in erster Linie der Sport der Migrantenfamilien aus aller Welt. Diese haben den Fussball in die USA gebracht und sie fiebern der WM im Sommer am meisten entgegen. Zum Beispiel die Jugendlichen des Global FC in Kansas City, Missouri, in der «Fussballhauptstadt der USA». Unter die Vorfreude mischt sich auch Angst: das US-Militär und die gefürchtete Einwanderungsbehörde des US-Präsidenten Trump werden in den WM-Austragungsstätten Präsenz markieren und, so fürchten Nicht-Weisse, Eingewanderte, ob legal oder illegal im Land, festnehmen und sogar ausschaffen. Zwar will Trump die USA als Fussball-Gastland präsentieren, aber willkommen sind nicht alle: Fussballfans aus Haiti oder dem Iran, zum Beispiel. Auch im Gastland Kanada bestimmen die USA die Einwanderungs- und Sicherheitsbestimmungen, und die Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Nachbarländern sind angespannt wie nie zuvor: wegen Trumps Zollpolitik, und weil der US-Präsident gedroht hat, Kanada zum 51. Bundestaat der USA zu machen. Zwischen Vorfreude, Anspannung und Angst: eine Reportage aus den Communities, welche den Fussball in Nordamerika prägen.

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, yet its origins are shrouded in chaos, and its modern “analytics” are often flawed. ⚽ HOW TO WATCH SOCCER LIKE A GENIUS (Abrams Press, May 12, 2026) by Nick Greene https://amzn.to/4eVb8ve ⚽ Author Nick Greene joins The Brian D. O'Leary Show to dismantle everything you thought you knew about “the beautiful game”. Using insights from architects, stuntwomen, paleoanthropologists, and computer scientists, we tear into the history of soccer's bizarre early rules and expose why American youth player development is fundamentally broken. Timed with the World Cup coming to North America, this conversation uncovers soccer's shared roots with American football and rugby, revealing a time when the sport featured fair catches and touchdowns. We dig into how the introduction of the FA Cup forced a standard set of rules, and contrast Scotland's early tactical advantage through passing with England's aristocratic refusal to share the ball. We also explore a disastrous 1940s analytics study that set English tactics back decades, the space-warping genius of Lionel Messi, and the absurd limits of modern optimization. Finally, we celebrate, but Greene critiques, the American youth soccer focus on the “battering ram” approach over actual technique. Subscribe at https://OLearyReview.com for more from UNRELENTING – The O'Leary Review. Conversation Highlights (Chapters) The World Cup and Unlikely Soccer Experts The Shared DNA of Soccer, Rugby, and American Football Freemasons, Fair Catches, and the FA Cup Scotland's Passing vs. England's Selfishness The RAF Pilot Who Ruined English Tactics Why the Best Team Doesn't Always Win Lionel Messi's Space-Warping Genius Tottenham's Showers and the Limits of Analytics Could Shaq Have Revolutionized Soccer? Key Takeaways Shared Roots: Soccer, rugby, and American football share the same origins. Early soccer even featured fair catches and touchdowns. The Forward Pass: Scotland dominated early international soccer by embracing a passing game, while wealthy English players selfishly refused to pass the ball. Bad Math: A flawed 1940s study by a retired RAF pilot convinced English soccer that passing was useless, leading to a long era of “caveman long ball tactics”. Mastering Space: Lionel Messi changes the gravity of the field, often accomplishing more by walking through space than other players do by sprinting. The Battering Ram: American youth soccer prioritizes winning through sheer size, whereas elite global academies focus entirely on technique. Tweetable Quotes “The fact that the best team doesn't always win is… the most to me, natural human thing about soccer.” - Nick Greene “People who don't watch or aren't interested in sports are missing out because it's such a Rosetta Stone.” - Nick Greene “They're learning how to be battering rams and kick the ball to the battering ram.” - Nick Greene Resources Mentioned HOW TO WATCH SOCCER LIKE A GENIUS (Abrams Press, May 12, 2026) by Nick Greene: https://amzn.to/4eVb8ve Hoosiers (1986): https://amzn.to/43hOfuS (Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)

Talking about his band American Football's latest return following a long absence, frontman Mike Kinsella invokes the notorious D.B. Cooper, saying, “I feel like we jumped out of a plane with a suitcase of money, except it was old demos, and then we faked our own death. We didn't know we were faking it, we thought we were dead, everybody thought we were dead, and then it's like, oh we're alive, we have a new identity, we can do whatever we want.” American Football has just returned with an excellent fourth self-titled album (aka LP4), seven years after the previous one. Famously, earlier on for American Football, after the midwest emo legends released their genre defining self-titled debut album in 1999, they immediately broke up and it was 17 years before we got their next album. So Mike and I talk about that in this interview, we also discuss his personal creative history and his evolution as a songwriter, the influence of his older brother Tim, with whom he had the band Cap'n Jazz back in the day, and how artists like Depeche Mode and Dinosaur Jr. have deeply impacted his songwriting. American Football are on tour in North America right now, and you can get tickets here.

“Playing for Real Madrid, it's the biggest stage in sports, the pressure is a privilege."- Aurélien Tchouaméni The Pivot goes international! Getting ready for World Cup action, we tapped in with a man who's had success and defeat at the highest level of the sport while juggling all that life brings with it and he sits with us to give an inside-glimpse of what it's like to be apart of the most famous sports franchise in the world! On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Real Madrid star, Aurélien Tchouaméni opens up like never before about life at the top of world football. The Real Madrid midfielder reflects on what it means to wear one of the heaviest shirts in sports, the constant pressure to perform, and how he's adapting to sky-high expectations both on and off the pitch. Tchouaméni explains the rollercoaster of highs and lows that come with global success and how he navigates the pressures, never allowing himself to feel the brunt of the boos or carried away with the cheers. He shares experiences of how he manages to stay focused on the pitch despite the noise outside team walls. In a deeply personal and emotional moment, Tchouaméni opens up about the racism experienced, specifically the incident with his teammate Vinícius Júnior and how it affected all of them, but says it was Vini's leadership and voice that guided them through the difficult time, kept them playing when many wanted to walk off...and in a moment of truth, Aurelien reveals those inner discussions his teammates had about that what ifs and the honest reality of racism that exists. The star midfielder also speaks candidly about representing the France national team, the pride that comes with it, and the heartbreak of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Final—including the emotional weight of missing his penalty kick in one of football's biggest moments. He shares how hard the loss was, being overwhelmed with disappointment but found a way to move forward taking those lessons into every phase of his life, impacting him as a man and the way he approaches the game forever. Tchouaméni dives into current contract talks and what his future could look like in Madrid, while also sharing a more personal side—touching on his relationship, viral moments, maintaining balance, and staying grounded amid global fame. He breaks down the financials of the sport and how it differs from American football, and that most young players start earning thousands to play at ten years old. His excitement for the NFL and studying the history and current players has turned him into an avid fan of American Football, recently spending time with Running Back Bijan Robinson who visited them in Spain as well as exchanged messages with Tom Brady.   Looking ahead, Tchouaméni discusses redemption, growth, and his mindset as he prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and what it means to be representing his country. This episode is a raw, insightful conversation about resilience, identity, and what it truly takes to compete at the highest level.
