Season 5 of The Ultimate Road Trip Podcast is here! It's been a while, but James is back interviewing more brilliant guests and asking, funnily enough, "What's your Ultimate Road Trip??" This week's guest, Billy Reeves, is amongst other things, a musician, producer, journalist, commentator, podcaster, artist and fundraiser - he's also a big fan of Brentford FC, buses and his hometown. Billy's music career includes founding the band Theaudience and getting The Darkness their first live gig, but after a near-fatal car crash in 2001 he retrained, taking up journalism and commentating.... but he's now back to making music (along with everything else) with 3 albums under his belt along with various singles and live performances across the UK. So what's his Ultimate Road Trip and does it include a Weekend in Staines (upon-Thames) ?  The five elements that make up The Ultimate Road Trip. 1. What's the car - make, model, colour 2. Why that car? 3. Destination 4. Passenger 5. Seminal soundtrack

On today's podcast we have Ben Ryan.   Ben is the most successful men's rugby sevens coach in history. He's the only coach to have won Continental, World, and Olympic titles, and has been working at the pinnacle of international sport for over two decades and counting. His transformative leadership turned the Fiji Rugby Sevens team into a global powerhouse. Under his guidance, they went on to win back-to-back World Series titles and, most notably, Olympic gold at the 2016 Rio Summer Games - Fiji's first ever Olympic medal.   The story is insane - and no surprise to me, there's a movie to document it soon. As a leader, Ben revolutionised the way the team embraced culture, connection, standards, and mental preparation - ensuring his players thrived both as athletes, and as individuals. His groundbreaking work in Fiji earned him the nation's highest civilian honour: the Companion of the Order of Fiji.    He is currently in his third season as Performance Director at Brentford FC, playing in the Premier League - a club known for doing things differently. They are going from strength to strength, becoming perhaps the most talked about team in world sport, and for whom Ben is a lifelong fan. He was also an impressive athlete himself, a graduate of both Loughborough and Cambridge, a great human being, and a true leader in human performance.   In this episode, we discuss: The Fiji story, from hurricanes, dictators, and enforcing discipline, to the part I found most fascinating: the internal challenges Ben had to overcome to transition from aspiring leader to world-class leader.   I hope you enjoy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------   Find Ben https://www.instagram.com/benryan7s/ https://x.com/benjaminryan    Find James: https://www.linkedin.com/in/acceleratingexcellence/ https://www.instagram.com/jamesaking_/ https://jamesaking.com/   The Mindset App: While the app is under development, we have decided to provide access to the full content for free on YouTube for a limited time.

In this excellent conversation from 2021, we are joined by Rasmus Ankersen (@RasmusAnkersen), an internationally known author, speaker, and film producer and one of the worlds leading experts on talent identification and development. Today he is one of the founders of Sport Republic, which is the majority shareholder of Southampton FC, where he also works as the Director of Football. He was also the co-director of football for Brentford FC of the English Premier League from 2015-2021 and Chairman of Champions League club FC Midtjylland of the Danish Super League. His 2012 book The Goldmine Effect is an incredible read and was one of the books that inspired me at the beginning of my Changing the Game Project journey, so to say that I am thrilled to have Rasmus on is an understatement.  In 2021 he released a film called “The Hockey Miracle in the Middle of Nowhere,” the true story of how the small town of Herning, Denmark (pop. 50,000) sent five players to the NHL in a ten year period. No Danish player had ever made the NHL before! In that same period, the US cities of Chicago and Detroit, hockey hotbeds, each sent less than 5 players to the top of the ice hockey world. How did they do it? In our talk, Rasmus and I break down the major principles outlined in the film and speak about how you might apply these same ideas in your own community so you don't just ID the talent that shouts, but you can identify and patiently develop the talent that whispers! Please connect with Rasmus at www.RasmusAnkersen.com and grab yourself a copy of The Goldmine Effect.

Nativz Gaming is building the biggest esports talent academy on the island of Ireland, providing aspiring Irish esports players with a clear 'pathway to pro'. This new initiative will see the Academy provide the missing bridge between the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series and Nativz Esports Club. Key Highlights: Biggest esports talent pathway to pro on the island of Ireland, drawing directly from the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series which serves the leading 16 universities and colleges Leveraging +10 years of senior experience in the top two tiers of English and Irish football, merging this with three years building a gaming and esports startup Providing opportunities across six game titles for community talent to advance in League of Legends, Valorant, Counter Strike 2, Rocket League, F1 24 and EA FC24 in the first instance "This is the culmination of meticulus planning and development of the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series over the past two years," said Kurt Pittman, Founder & CEO of Nativz Gaming. "Drawing from our experiences in professional sport academies and the learnings gained from innovating in this exciting industry, we think the time is right to complete the pathway for the Irish esports community." Since its inception back in May 2021, Nativz Esports Club has experimented with their original League of Legends Talent team. In 2022 they expanded into Valorant by signing a talented team straight out of the Collegiate Series who consequently signed with Wylde until they were recently released. In 2023 Michael 'BBMuffin' Smirnov was scouted from Ireland Collegiate into the Nativz League of Legends First Team for the NLC's knockout cup competition the 2024 Aurora Cup. In addition to supporting players, the Academy's structured program will also cater for coaches, managers, analysts and content creators. Nativz Gaming's leadership team have all emerged from within the Ireland Collegiate community, the most recent addition is Jan Biernacki to Lead the Academy. Jan joins as the incumbent Esports Society President for South Eastern Technological University (SETU). "We're adopting a hybrid model that ensures flexibility and accessibility across the island. In-person sessions will coincide with flagship Ireland Collegiate events such as the recent Spring Finals Weekend at Dogpatch Labs," said Jan. "Our goal is to provide comprehensive support and resources that haven't been available before, setting a new standard for esport talent development in Ireland." "We're excited by the interest we've received from potential mentors to provide invaluable guidance and support," Pittman continued. "Our holistic approach acknowledges that not every participant will pursue a professional esports career, yet each individual has the potential to contribute uniquely to our community." Current and Past Ireland Esports Collegiate Series players, creators plus aspiring coaches, manager and analysts are welcome to express an interest in joining the Nativz Esports Club Academy by completing their details in the application form which can be found online here. Further details will be shared with registered players and Alumni leading into the start of the 2024/25 Ireland Esports Collegiate Series. See more stories here.

I've been eagerly awaiting this interview for some time, having watched the Heffer family develop the small horseracing form guide Winning Form into the 6,000-plus staffed giant Hollywoodbets. A formidable brand, the company has naming rights on four major racecourses in South Africa; and many of its top races, including the most famous of all, the Durban July. Also, Hollywoodbets sponsor its hometown Sharks Rugby and Dolphins Cricket and the Durban stadiums where they play, plus Dundalk Racecourse in Ireland and, the highest profile of all, English Premier League team Brentford FC. Its Hollywood Syndicates reinvest heavily in SA's racing industry, keeping over a hundred horses in training. This interview with Devin Heffer brings together this inspirational story's threads that go back to a small entrepreneur, his father Owen, whose disruptive endeavours delivered the dream result. - Alec Hogg

A Brighton and Hove Albion a 7., a Brentford FC a 8. helyen áll jelenleg a Premier League-ben, holott ennek a két klubnak vajmi kevés múltja van az angol első osztályban. Valamit mégis jól csinálnak, lévén az elmúlt években nemcsak feljutottak, majd stabilizálták a helyüket, de rendre képesek olyan bravúrra, hogy szinte egymás után hármat gurítsanak, és ezzel gödörbe taszítsák a Liverpoolt.

Our Great Coach on this episode is Thomas Frank Thomas is the Head Coach of Brentford FC in the English Football League Championship. He started his career coaching youth teams in Denmark. His success with the National Under 17 team led to his first senior appointment with Brondby in the Danish Superliga in 2013. He turned their performance around delivering top four performances in successive years. In 2016 he joined Brentford as an Assistant Coach before becoming their manager in 2018. At the end of 2019 season he was awarded Manager of the Year and in May 2021, Brentford beat Swansea for promotion into to the English Premier League for the first time in 74 years. Thomas is an emotionally intelligent coach with an innate understanding of the dynamics that shape the culture of teams. His beliefs about the importance of humility, and the value of hard work and standards are timeless. He understands that to experience the joy of success, you must endure long periods of struggle, and yet through care and what he calls, appreciative enquiry, you can sustain the energy needed to continue on. This was a wonderful conversation with a coach on the rise, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Sometimes it might frustrate you when you are released and bring on self-doubt, But how do you deal with such situations as a young goalkeeper?What is your next move when this happens, and how do you cope with it?

Welcome to The Ealing Road Podcast! This is the first episode of what will be a weekly series where we discuss all things Brentford FC.  On this week's episode, @mikej_24, @will_1889, and @ClaytonM_23 introduce themselves as hosts, and tell their funniest Brentford stories (there are some good ones). We also discuss the games against Aston Villa and Wolves, before talking about the performance of individual players over the course of the season so far. Listen out for some clear - and perhaps unreasonable - agendas. Finally, we briefly preview Forest (A) this weekend, and all get quite upset at the thought of travelling to the City Ground with no Ivan Toney...

Bradley Walsh is a familiar face to many millions of TV viewers, as the host of quiz shows including The Chase and Blankety-Blank, and as an actor in dramas such as Doctor Who and The Larkins. Bradley was born in Watford and after leaving school at 16 he was apprenticed to the local Rolls-Royce factory as a jet engineer. A keen footballer, he signed to Brentford FC when he was 19 but his career was cut short by injury after only two seasons with the club. He dealt with this blow by turning his attention to the entertainment business. He worked as a Pontin's bluecoat and then tried his luck as a stand-up comedian - doing impressions and telling jokes at working men's clubs. In 1986 he turned professional, and his first booking was a stint at the Pavilion Theatre on Cromer Pier. Later he became the support act for performers including Dame Shirley Bassey, Leo Sayer and Sir Tom Jones. In 1997 he hosted the quiz show Wheel of Fortune and three years later got his first acting role in the Channel 4 series Lock Stock….a spin-off from Guy Ritchie's 1998 feature film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. He followed this up with roles in Coronation Street, Law & Order: UK and Doctor Who Bradley released his debut album Chasing Dreams, featuring his interpretations of popular standards, in 2016. In that year it became the biggest-selling debut album by a British artist. Bradley lives in Essex with his wife Donna and their son Barney who appears alongside him in the television series Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad.
