How do human factors influence an inherently risky activity like scuba diving?That's what my guest on this episode, Gareth Lock explores in his work as the founder of The Human Diver — a company that specialises in teaching the diving community about human factors.Whether you've ever been diving or not, it's fairly obvious that it's an activity, that comes with a degree of inherent risk. After all, It involves getting into an environment that requires us to use specialist equipment because being underwater impacts our ability to breathe naturally and diminishes the use of some of our senses. It also exposes us to some potentially dangerous conditions - temperature, currents and air pressure for starters. Not to mention the sea creatures we might come across, who aren't necessarily always going to welcome our intrusion into their world.As Gareth explains in our discussion, those dynamics can be made far worse by humans. Most accidents and incidents in diving arent down to technical failures, rather they are down to complacency, breakdowns in communication, poor decision-making, a lack of situational awareness or ineffective teamwork and/or leadership.To find out more about:Gareth - https://www.thehumandiver.com/theteamThe Human Diver - https://www.thehumandiver.com/Under Pressure, Gareth's book - https://www.thehumandiver.com/underpressure The Human Factors in Diving Conference - https://www.hf-in-diving-conference.com/In our discussion, we also refer to Tim Harford.

MTT Coach Gareth James and Peak Performance Consultant Dr. Tricia Cardner kicked off Episode 27 by discussing the fact that the holiday season is upon us! There is no better time of the year than now to think about all the things you’re grateful for as well as to start planning for an amazing 2018. We then launched into the show (21:30) with Gareth answering a question about the adjustments we need to make when antes kick in. As Gareth explained, there are a number of important strategic adjustments that need to occur as M changes/decreases. It is critical that you open wider and defend your BB more often. Having said that, it is important to keep a BB defense range that is made up of hands that realize equity well.(45:52) Tricia then answered the question: is it possible to build self-discipline? The short answer is YES and several practical strategies were offered that explain exactly how. You’ll need to put in some effort, but it is possible to restrain your impulses and make decisions that are good for you – even when you don’t feel like it! Want us to answer your poker question?

As Gareth is getting married very shortly, we unfortunately did not have the time to record episode 17. We want to always bring you quality over quantity, so we decided it was best not to rush something through. We will be going dark for October whilst Gareth is on his honeymoon before returning in November. Take care everyone!
