What is good high performance coaching and leadership like? How do you create rapport and trust with the athlete? What are the best tools and methods for becoming a better coach? These are key questions I have been wrestling in my coaching career and also researched the topic in my sport psychology masters thesis. In this episode I got a fantastic opportunity to wrestle with these questions with Professor Cliff Mallett from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, whose research has played a key role in broadening my understanding of what it means to be a "good coach". Tune in to this episode if you want to understand what are the crucial ingredients in high performance coaching that facilitate success, and how can you become the good coach! Professor Cliff Mallett is a high performance specialist with PhD in sport psychology and extensive practical coaching background. Cliff has specialised in understanding the interdependencies between people and the complexities of high performance contexts to enable successful (winning) outcomes. He has coached many athletes to Olympic, World Championships, and Commonwealth medals in track and field athletics. Furthermore, he is a world renowned practitioner and applied researcher. He is Professor in sport psychology and coaching (University of Queensland and Technical University of Munich; EW Barker Professor NIE, Singapore), and has been regularly sought after within the corporate and academic worlds for his advisory and mentorship. He has extensively consulted nationally and internationally across high performance contexts including: International Olympic Committee (IOC); International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) now World Athletics (WA); International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE); Australian Football League (AFL); National Rugby League (NRL); Australian Rugby Union (ARU); Tennis Australia (TA); Essendon Football Club; North Melbourne Football Club (Kangaroos); Brisbane Lions Football Club; Gold Coast Suns; North Queensland Cowboys (NRL); Australian Sports Commission (ASC); Australian Institute of Sport (AIS); Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS)Here more about Cliff:https://researchers.uq.edu.au/researcher/647Links to tools and research discussed in this episode:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26172971/https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308163361_The_Practices_and_Developmental_Pathways_of_Professional_and_Olympic_Serial_Winning_Coacheshttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/304404218_Serial_Winning_Coaches_People_Vision_and_Environmenthttps://www.guilford.com/books/The-Art-and-Science-of-Personality-Development/Dan-McAdams/9781462529322https://bigfive-test.com/https://casel.org/fundamentals-of-sel/https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-21899-040In case interested to here more about tools like the strivings matrix, life story or other tools to develop as a high performance coach reach out to heikki@mentalrace.fi
Transgender athletes competing in women's sports have been a topic of controversy in recent years. The issue has been brought to light by several high-profile cases, including those of Riley Gaines, Lia Thomas, Laurel Hubbard, Fallon Fox, Janae Marie Kroc, and more recently Anne Andres and the Avi Silverberg competition.One of the main arguments against transgender women competing in women's sports is the potential for them to have a competitive advantage due to their biological sex at birth. This argument is based on the fact that male bodies tend to have certain physical advantages over female bodies, such as greater muscle mass, bone density, and lung capacity.In the case of Riley Gaines and Lia Thomas, Lia being a MTF athlete boasting incredible gains in their ranking, and Riley Gains being one of the few to speak out about it.Similarly, Laurel Hubbard, a transgender weightlifter from New Zealand, faced controversy when she became the first openly transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics.Fallon Fox, a transgender mixed martial arts fighter, faced backlash when it was revealed that she had previously competed in men's MMA before transitioning. Critics argued that Fox had an unfair advantage over her female opponents due to her past experiences as a male fighter.Janae Marie Kroc, a transgender bodybuilder, faced criticism when she competed in bodybuilding competitions, with some claiming that she had an advantage over her female competitors due to her prior male physiology. However, Janae wasn't competing against women. Why is that?Anne Andres and Avi Silverberg are the most recent addition with a biological male setting a weightlifting record that was previously set by a trans athlete.Caster Semenya, a South African middle-distance runner, faced controversy when the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) implemented new rules limiting testosterone levels for female athletes with differences of sex development (DSD). Semenya, who has a naturally high level of testosterone due to her DSD, was forced to take medication to lower her testosterone levels in order to compete.Biden, Wolrd athletics and several other sports board are trying to get a handle on this all... but how are they doing it all?In conclusion, the issue of transgender athletes competing in women's sports is a complex and controversial one. While there is some evidence to suggest that transgender women may have a competitive advantage over biological women, there is also a need to balance the rights of transgender athletes to participate in sports with the need for fair competition.Support the show@andrewPFM @PrideFitnessandMovement
Power and Politics in World Athletics: A Critical History (Routledge, 2021) by Jörg Krieger provides the first detailed history of one of the most powerful international sport organisations, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), since 2019 known as World Athletics. The book critically assesses the internal power relations within the IAAF by focusing on the IAAF leadership. Based on extensive archival research, Power and Politics in World Athletics offers a nuanced analysis of the institutionalized strategies that developed as a reflection of the IAAF's interests and aims to create a broader understanding of the global sport system. With only six presidents in over a century of existence, the IAAF's leaders had profound impacts on other international institutions, national stakeholders and sporting participants. Through four sections, the book identifies various key turning points in the history of the governing body of athletics, and explores the IAAF's foundation, the policies of past IAAF presidents, and controversial issues such as doping, corruption and manipulation through a socio-historical lens. The book shows that while anyone could take part in athletics, policies enacted by each president served to ostracize those groups who did not fit into the IAAF's vision of an equal playing field. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in sport history, sport sociology, the politics of sport, sport management, sport governance, or international organisations. Hannah Borenstein is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. Her dissertation research is an ethnographic study about women long distance runners from Ethiopia.

Corrida de Montanha, Corrida de Trilha, Cross Country e o Dia Internacional da Montanha Olááá! Eu sou Carolina Belo e este é o Podcast Viajar correndo. Em nosso oitavo episódio, vamos falar sobre corridas de montanha. Dia 11 de dezembro é o Dia Internacional da Montanha. Muitos corredores têm uma relação com ela e como há muita confusão com os termos usados nas corridas que envolvem o mundo natural, este podcast busca também explicar esses termos. Tem diferença entre Corrida de Montanha, Corrida de Trilha e Cross Country? Sim, tem diferença. Como todos esses tipos de corridas praticados no campo, fora do asfalto, muitas vezes, as pessoas confundem os termos e acabam empregando como se todos fossem sinônimos. Mas não é... O Cross Country é a versão natural dos eventos de longa distância que acontecem na pista. São as corridas realizadas em terrenos não pavimentados, como grama, cascalho ou terra batida e, às vezes, trilhas cobertas. Dependendo da distância da prova, os atletas normalmente correm uma certa quantidade de voltas. Essas voltas podem medir entre 1500 e 2000 metros. Segundo a International Trail Running Association (ITRA), trail running é uma corrida em ambiente natural por caminhos, trilhas, montanhas, florestas, planícies, praias e até em locais cobertos por gelo e neve, com o mínimo possível de vias calçadas ou pavimentadas (que não devem exceder 20% do percurso). Segundo a International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), corridas de montanha são aquelas realizadas fora do asfalto e que envolvem um número considerável de subidas ou subidas/descidas. E Por que dia 11 de dezembro é o Dia Internacional da Montanha? O dia 11 de dezembro é considerado o Dia Internacional da Montanha. Ele foi criado em 2003 pela Assembleia Geral da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) para que pessoas e entidades realizem ações e planejem um futuro sustentável para as montanhas. Não há um motivo direto para a escolha da data. Como a destruição e a degradação paisagística das montanhas têm aumentado, havia a necessidade de criar uma data para a conscientização. O tema para o Dia Internacional da Montanha em 2020 é “A Biodiversidade da Montanha”. As montanhas, por conta de sua topografia única, zonas climáticas comprimidas e isolamento, criaram as condições para um amplo espectro de formas de vida. A biodiversidade abrange uma variedade de ecossistemas, espécies e recursos genéticos, e as montanhas têm muitas variedades endêmicas. A ONU aconselha a não ignorar a importância da preservação das montanhas, porque pode constituir um grave problema para a humanidade. Além de toda biodiversidade, é nas montanhas que estão as nascentes de água doce, uma fonte vital. Este foi o oitavo episódio do podcast Viajar correndo. ✈️
Our guest this week is pro triathlete Sarah Crowley. She's all over the podium these days with a 3rd place in Kona and a win at IMAZ, we are stoked to have her on the show this week to talk about her career, season and future. Thanks to last week's guest Marcus Smith is going to sharing his inspirational story from the documentary "Fighting For Every Breath". From the peak of endurance fitness to fighting for his life in an instant. The story is about how he held on and fought his way back from immobilizing and near-fatal injuries. He found the mental strength to find reasons to celebrate the smallest of victories.

What does full-spectrum hemp extract mean you ask? Hemp oil can refer to a full-spectrum oil from the Cannabis sativa plant or hemp seed oil, which is oil that comes from just the seeds of the hemp plant. ... Full-spectrum hemp oil that also contains plant matter may add other effective compounds, which may help with certain health issues, such as inflammation. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324450.php How Does Hemp Work? Hemp is rich in compounds known as cannabinoids. Research shows cannabinoids like cannabidiol may help treat everything from eczema to epilepsy. Cannabinoids interact with The Endocannabinoid System, or ECS. The ECS is a biological system present in all mammals. It impacts almost every system in the human body including: Memory Appetite Inflammation Fertility Pain Mood The primary purpose of the ECS is to maintain homeostasis, which means that aiding this regulatory system helps your body return to normal after periods of intense stress–including hard workouts. The ECS is comprised of endogenous cannabinoid receptors. Two of these receptors have been identified, CB1 and CB2. Cannabinoids like hemp extract interact with these receptors, helping to achieve homeostasis. Maintaining a healthy endocannabinoid system is vital to our well-being. Substantial evidence shows a strong link between disease and endocannabinoid deficiency. While our bodies cannot produce cannabinoids on their own, we can support our ECS by integrating supplements like hemp recovery products into our diets. https://ikorlabs.com/ikor-blog-athletes-guide-to-cbd Announcements: Joanna Zeiger is going to be in the house next weekend!

Looking at course data, The Sole Supplier analysed average finish times, medical stations, toilets, entry fees and how good local accommodation was, as well as environmental factors, such as air quality, temperature, rainfall and altitude. They then collated data to give each of the 81 marathons on the list a score out of ten, naming the best and worst marathons in the world. https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/marathon/a30135094/best-worst-marathons-in-the-world-study/ Methodology How did we pick the marathons for the study? All IAAF-certified marathons (476) were considered for the index. In order to refine the list, each country featuring in the list were allowed up to three marathons for inclusion. These were decided by taking city population size into account (http://worldpopulationreview.com). The marathons taking place in each country’s three “largest cities” were included in the study. During the data collection phase, any marathons missing more than 1 data point (due to no data available) were removed, leaving a final list of 81 global marathon courses. https://thesolesupplier.co.uk/news/up-for-a-challenge-these-are-the-worlds-best-marathon-courses/ The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) is the worldwide governing body for professional level athletics and track and field. Its purpose is to create and regulate professional level meets and to set the standards for administering competitions, using equipment, and documenting world records.

Marcos and Calvin discuss the whole Caster Semenya's (South African, two-time Olympic 800m gold medallist) battle going on with world athletics' governing body over testosterone-curbing regulations for female athletes. They share their thoughts about the bitter dispute with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), while both parties await a ruling from Switzerland's supreme court on Semenya's appeal against the regulations.
Big news was announced on Tuesday by the IAAF and we are here with a comprehensive reaction with Mario Fraioli, Parker Stinson, and Ben Rosario. Here is an excerpt from the USATF release: ”The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), granted its request to extend the conditions for granting a Gold Label for 2020 Olympic Trials – Marathon men’s and women’s qualification - on an exceptional basis... In a Gold Label Marathon race, athletes who finish in the top 5 of the event are considered to have achieved the qualifying standard for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Sport scientist at the North University says she was surprised at the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision to uphold the new International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) rules forcing female athletes to regulate their testosterone levels.For more Elvis Presslin spoke to Sport Scientist , Sandra Wushe
Caster Semenya shrugged off the unfavourable Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling when she won the Women's 800m race at the IAAF Diamond League race in Doha. Semenya, the double Olympic champion at the distance, was added to the 800m start list, two days after her appeal against a new rule regulating testosterone levels for women athletes was rejected by the Court for Arbitration of Sport (CAS). Semenya had challenged the measures, introduced by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), that will force women with higher than normal male hormone levels -- so-called "hyper-andro-genic" athletes -- to artificially lower the amount of testosterone in their bodies if they are to continue competing. The rules will come into effect on May 8 and will apply to races over distances of 400m to the mile.

Hear from cyclist Kristen Worley on XY and DSD women, testosterone, old ideologies and human rights Welcome to the Cyclingnews Podcast Women's Edition brought to you in association with Sportful, Pinarello and Floyd's of Leadville. In this episode Kirsten Frattini, women's editor at Cyclingnews, speaks with former cyclist and human rights activist Kristen Worley, who just released her memoir, "Woman Enough - How a boy became a woman and changed the world of sport." We take an in depth look at the guidelines set in place by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for transitioned XY women and the newly proposed regulations set by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) for women with differences of sex development (DSD), recently deliberated on at the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) in the Caster Semenya vs IAAF appeal. We highlight the problems and controversies surrounding the rules, and the need for more scientific research and medical expertise when creating policy for these individuals. We also take a look back at the evolution of gender verification testing from the so-called 'nude parades' to 'sex-testing' and the current forms of testosterone testing used today. Part of our discussion circles around how old ideologies have impacted women in sports, including cycling. And we discuss how policies have affected athletes' human rights. Worley was born XY male, named Chris Jackson, and fully transitioned to XY female having undergone sex-reassignment surgery in her late 20s. She was forced to undergo gender verification processes to obtain a licence to compete as a woman. She went on to challenge the IOC along with the World Anti-doping Agency, UCI, Cycling Canada and the Ontario Cycling Association, outside of the CAS, in the court of civil law at the Superior Court of Justice and then the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal in Toronto. Her case brought attention to the lack of scientific research behind the policies, practices and protocols in place for transgendered and biological women with higher testosterone levels. She also demonstrated how the IOC's guidelines filter down through the international federations, such as the UCI, and into the national and provincial rules at the lower levels of sport. Worley currently gives educational discussions around the world on the subject of diversity and inclusion in sport. She also acts as a consultant on human rights to The Cyclists' Alliance founded by Iris Slappendel. To learn more about the heated debate surrounding the "IOC Consensus Meeting on Transgender Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism" guidelines for such individuals competing in sport, testosterone uptake, and gender verification practices read our in-depth feature Policing Gender Boundaries.

In 2018, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) introduced new eligibility regulations for female athletes with differences in sex development (DSDs). These regulations are based on the contention that women with high levels of endogenous testosterone and androgen sensitivity have a performance advantage over their peers. South African middle distance runner, Mokgadi Caster Semenya, who won two Olympic gold medals in 2012 and 2016, and Athletics South Africa, are contesting the legality of these new regulations. The basis of their objection, at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, is that there is a lack of scientific evidence showing that endogenous testosterone concentrations substantially enhance sports performance. Caster, who is DSD herself, has lost her case and Adam turns to expert in sport, exercise and genomics at Manchester Metropolitan University, Dr. Alun Williams to explain the implications. Less than a decade ago, an entirely new branch of the ancient human tree was discovered. These new hominins were named the Denisovans, after the Denisova cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia where fragments of finger bone and teeth were discovered, and genetic sequencing of a finger bone revealed that they were a new hominin group, an extinct sister group to Neanderthals. This exciting find contained a tantalising puzzle. Traces of Denisovan DNA are found in modern-day population groups like Sherpas, Tibetans and some other neighbouring populations and this includes genetic variants which help them to survive at high altitudes where the oxygen levels are low. The original Denisovan cave is only around 700 metres, so why would such an adaptation be necessary at these altitudes? This week a new paper in Nature slots a big piece into the puzzle. Teams from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology have found another Denisovan fossil – this time a mandible, a lower jawbone, still containing teeth – from the vast Tibetan plateau in China. At 2.3 Km above sea level, it’s very high and the air is thin, and 160,000 years ago, which is when the fossil has been dated to, it would have been a very challenging place to live indeed. In fact this jawbone is the earliest known hominin fossil found on this enormous plateau. Adam calls in Professor Fred Spoor, from the Centre for Human Evolution Research at the Natural History Museum in London, to examine the facts and to see if we can work out how far and wide these hominins travelled.

What makes sport compelling to watch? What drives us to compete against each other? I would argue that we come back to watch the same sports over and over again because of the thrill of the unknown. Until the moment the runners cross the finish line or the clock runs out, anything can happen, and often does. The critical element that preserves this tension is the presumption of fairness. We want a fair fight, where all competitors have a legitimate shot to prove themselves worthy of the victor’s trophy. This is the fundamental purpose of governing bodies in sport. Their charge is to create a system of rules that guarantee, to the greatest possible extent, a level playing field for all participants. But as we’ve seen time and time again, the corrupting influences of money, power, and international politics cause many sporting organizations to forget their duty to the athletes and fans. Instead, they use their positions to enrich themselves and advance their agendas. This seems to be the case with the latest controversy surrounding track and field. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) seems powerless or uninterested in curbing the rampant use of performance enhancing drugs, but intensely interested in enforcing their conception of the feminine ideal. Most recently, they crafted a set of rules that appear to be directly targeted at South African middle-distance champion Caster Semenya. Returning to the show this week to weigh in on the situation is Nick Symmonds, 2-time Olympian, entrepreneur, and outspoken advocate for the rights of athletes. He and I dive into the principles behind the IAAF controversy, including what a level playing field should look like. We also discuss his recent retirement from professional running, and how his next adventures will take him to the top of the world seven times over.
