Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Colin Wilson.  Colin Wilson started his performance and coaching journey in sport from age nine, winning national and international age-group medals in Table Tennis from the age of 13, and two Commonwealth silvers, aged just 16. Colin was always curious from a young age, and fascinated by questions like, “Where does High Performance Really Come From?”. As a result of having two amazing sport-specific and philosophical mentors, Colin became a coach educator age 19. He coached England Women, Men, Girls and Boys and later his son Sam became England Under 21s No. 1. After gaining an Economics and Statistics Honours degree at UCL, he was asked to help coaches and coaching programmes in other sports too and worked on sport-wide development programmes in partnership with BASES, UK Sport, sportscoachUK (now UK Coaching) and the British Olympic Association. Working to develop Olympic level coaches was another wonderful opportunity and a further vertical learning curve. With further fantastic mentors and training in traumatology and psychodynamics he bridged the journey to becoming an executive coach and organisational leadership developer, and was invited to support Nokia, BT Global, HSBC, Barclays, Delphi, Unilever, a major political party, and more. He now specialises in developing senior leadership capability and supporting multi-stakeholder, multi-agency situations with significant human dynamics. Ultimately, he relishes helping people and teams to find themselves, their best direction/strategy and their optimal, adaptable development path over time to fulfil their desired aims.

Welcome to the Humans of Nutrition Podcast brought to you by Registered Nutritionists Anna Wheeler and Prof Danielle McCarthy. Look at Matt Lawson's CV and you'll probably see under ‘Work History' PFA Dietitian, The Football Association; Development Football Head, University of Nottingham; Team GB Dietitian, British Olympic Association. Under ‘Skills & Experience', you'll find UEFA Licenced Coach. Get a chance to look in his little black book, and you may see names like Sven Goran Eriksson, Ellen White and Carly Telford, Sophie Bradley and Alex Greenwood (major shout out to England's women's football team, past and present!). Talking of which during this episode, Nutrition Talent's Anna reveals a secret football ambition from her 10-year-old self, and how she was an inadvertent women's rights campaigner at this tender age – go Anna! Matt still considers himself a dietitian, first and foremost. Just how did Matt become a top sports dietitian? He jokes that it was primarily because he “failed in (his) bid to be a footballer”! But this early love of sport triggered an interest in how the body works, how what you eat and drink impacts performance, leading him to the world of dietetics. Matt talks about the common one-way system from dietetics towards clinical work, but he never let go of his true interest in sports and nutrition, choosing to go on to complete an MSc Nutrition with a dissertation in sports, then going on to study at Loughborough University to attain Sports accreditation. We hear about his early days, the challenges of improving the diet (and by extension performance) of his first football club – faced with a team eating burgers and chips when he first met them, he certainly had his work cut out! We are reminded that athletes are as human as we are – advice needs to be evidence based and individualised (seems so obvious now, but who considered that the dietary and performance needs of the striker would be different than the defence?!!). And some of these athletes live with diabetes, coeliac disease, IBS, disordered eating behaviours etc. – “they're just normal people at the end of the day”. There's a multitude of other topics covered – supplements (banned or otherwise), recreational players and the opportunities to have a positive impact on nutrition and exercise at a grassroots level. Matt welcomes the evolution and developments in sports science, which of course informs his practice, and ends with a wish – to see both England teams win the championships…to be continued!

Since first being detected in Brazil less than a year ago, the Zika virus has spread like wildfire and has now been reported across Latin America. The virus usually only results in a mild rash and fever, but it's also been linked to a surge in microcephaly – a condition where babies are born with abnormally small heads.自从不到一年前在巴西首次发现以来，寨卡病毒已像野火一样蔓延，现已报道到整个拉丁美洲。这种病毒通常只会导致轻微的皮疹和发烧，但它也与小头畸形的激增有关，小头畸形是一种婴儿出生时头部异常小的疾病。Although the epicentre of the outbreak is in Northern Brazil, there've also been several cases of Zika in Rio de Janeiro. Olympic officials here say that in the run-up to this year's games they will inspect and if necessary fumigate areas where mosquitoes that transmit the disease might breed.尽管疫情的中心位于巴西北部，但里约热内卢也出现了多起寨卡病例。 奥运会官员表示，在今年奥运会之前，他们将检查并在必要时对传播疾病的蚊子可能繁殖的区域进行熏蒸。Some countries including the United States have advised pregnant women not to travel to Zika-infected areas, including parts of Brazil. With concerns about the impact on athletes and spectators coming to Rio for the Games, the British Olympic Association told the BBC they've been liaising with the London School of Tropical Medicine and will be monitoring the situation closely.包括美国在内的一些国家已建议孕妇不要前往寨卡病毒感染地区，包括巴西部分地区。 英国奥林匹克协会告诉英国广播公司，由于担心前往里约奥运会的运动员和观众受到影响，他们一直在与伦敦热带医学院联系，并将密切关注事态发展。词汇表spread like wildfire 象野火般迅速蔓延rash 热疹fever 高烧abnormally 不正常地，异常地outbreak 爆发in the run-up to 前夕，拉开…序幕前fumigate 烟熏breed 繁殖liaising 与… 保持联络

Anita is a sports nutritionist and best-selling author, with titles that include 'The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition' and 'The Vegan Athlete's Cookbook'. Anita is also the nutritionist for the London Marathon and Ride London and has previously worked for the British Olympic Association and Swim England.

We also discuss some popular supplements including creatine, omega-3 and CBD.

Team development strategies from the world of sports psychology As one of the first psychologists to work with elite sports teams in the UK, George Karseras knows a thing or two about winning ways. His many years of experience in occupational psychology have led to the creation of a science-backed code for better organisational teaming. George offers a new perspective on team building that puts mental trust and shared purpose before emotional safety and prioritises probing questions over psychometric testing. He talks of using deals and contracts, skin in the game and lists of demands to get on the same page and even has a (gentle) crack at Patrick Lencioni! Cracking the code on performance means stepping out of your comfort zone - are you ready?! P.S. His book, Build Better Teams, is my favourite on team building - EVER! Why you should listen: task-first team development Leadership principles for building trust - HINT: it's not about ‘getting to know you' We explore leadership strategies for hybrid teams  Important agreements for team development - we must do this first! A leadership perspective on creating shared understanding - quickly Active listening as a key leadership skill

This episode is born from KORE Software's 2019 free whitepaper, Storytelling in Sponsorship: The importance of storytelling in selling, reporting, and activating partnerships in sports and entertainment. Storytelling drives our lives. A myriad of new OTT broadcasters, the rise in popularity of Instagram and Facebook Stories, TikTok and YouTube's increasingly influential stars, and a multitude of news sources where the dilemma of credibility and authority are changing the ways information is shared, all impacting our everyday. Stories are at the heart of this new world of information sharing. For what is the foreseeable future, they will continue to shape relationships, understanding, and behaviors. In this episode, we want to shine a light on how both brands and rights holders can utilize storytelling to their advantage, across the whole lifecycle of their partnerships. In a world of instantaneous conversation and differentiation, expectations of audiences as well as clients have changed. In this episode, we look at the three most important aspects of the partner relationship; selling, activating, and reporting. To help us explain best practice in storytelling, we've pulled together insights from around the world of sponsorship, with help from some of the biggest and most influential national and international brands and rights holders, including HSBC, the Golden State Warriors, and the British Olympic Association. We explore how brands and rights holders can survive and thrive in this new, evolving world of storytelling. Today, it's vital to understand how both can find that mutual area of understanding and value creation; what are the key differentiators of the relationship, where can value be added and importantly, how can storytelling help them to achieve this. Whilst branded content and sponsorship have always allowed brands to become a more intrinsic part of fan and audience engagement, as audiences become tech-savvy ad blockers, and the advertising and media landscape continues to shift, sponsorship will become an even more important vehicle in the years to come. You can download a copy of the whitepaper here. We also welcome Leo Baudino, Product Marketing & Communications Manager at KORE Software who joins us to discuss her latest blog, 4 Essential Steps to Selecting the Right Partnerships.

There are continued concerns about the Chinese tennis star, Peng Shuai, despite officials from the International Olympic Committee confirming they've had a video conversation with her. The IOC said Ms Peng had assured them she was safe and well, but that she wanted her privacy respected.

This is the last of my conversations with the 2021 cohort of the AI for Social Impact Program run by Microsoft for Startups and the Social Tech Trust. I've been looking forward to speaking to these guys for quite a few weeks, but we've held off until now to coincide with their official launch – which just happens to be taking place at 10 Downing Street shortly before the interview gets aired. That recognition from the Government is a hint at the importance of what they are doing. We are talking about a game-changing, science and data-driven approach to Safety in Sport, which is going to have a major impact on our long term enjoyment of all types of sports from childhood to old age and across the spectrum from schools to elite level clubs. So there's a very obvious positive impact on our physical and mental health and wellbeing, but the social and economic implications go far beyond that. It's a real privilege for me to be meeting these guys at this exciting early stage – it seems like I'm in the right place at the right time. They've already put a super-strong, highly experienced team together, including big names from the sporting world, and have very significant momentum. My guests are Andy Hunt and Damian Smith, respectively CEO and CTO of Podium Analytics, an NGO that seeks to significantly reduce the incidence and long-term impact of injury in sport. Their very straightforward objective is to help ensure that more people can participate in sport for a lifetime. So this is social impact on a potentially massive scale. The organisation was founded by Ron Dennis, founder and former CEO and Chairman of McLaren, who has been at ther forefront of safety in sport for many years. He is still very much involved as Chairman. Andy came on board as CEO 18 months ago, from his previous role as CEO of World Sailing. Prior to that, he has CEO of the British Olympic Association for 5 years, including leadership of TeamGB at the London 2012 Olympics. He's also a non-exec on the boards of both England hockey and Gloucester rugby. Damian joined Podium last year, having previously been head of Information Technology at the England & Wales Cricket Board for a number of years.

Essential Learning Points From This Episode • Fatigue is multifactorial both physiological and psycho-social. • In team sports the individuals needs can sometimes be ignored, an ice bath doesn’t work for everyone. • Look after your sleep, take care of your nutrition and body management first then look at other things such as compression garments, hydrotherapy… • Be brilliant at the basics! • If you can find ways to relax you’re going to make better decisions when you train and compete. • Being professional around rest and recovery can help the longevity of an athlete’s career and help them maintain consistency of performance. • Coaching messages and the organisational culture, as well as where athletes seek out messages can impact their perceptions around rest and recovery. • Endurance athletes can be obsessed with putting in the miles where resting up or doing a short session may be a better answer sometimes. • Athletes and support staff can sometimes lose sight of what is important and what actually drives performance. • Look to monitor and measure with a training diary recording your day to day thoughts and feelings. • Ask yourself the question - how do my current recovery strategies make me feel?

A special edition of Anything but Footy focuses on the choice facing the IOC and IPC about Tokyo 2020. Currently, the position is that the organisers are committed to staging the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games this summer in Tokyo. The British Olympic Association and British Paralympic Association are planning accordingly, albeit with a warning for their athleties not to endanger their health or wellbeing. This week has seen many leading names, including Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Adam Gemilli, question the current position. The qualification process is in tatters following the cancellation of so many events and it's not clear how teams will be selected if the events do happen. The World Anti-Doping Authorities have also had their work impacted by the spread of COVID-19 and this could lead to the integrity of the Games being questioned if athletes aren't subject to the usual strict testing procedeures that normally operate.We hear from Rob Koelher of Global Athlete - an organisation that representes athletes interests as well as Team GB hopeful Verity Ockendon who was hoping to line up for great Britaon and Northern Ireland in athletics. Plus, the latest on the ongoing dispute between UK Athletics and UK Anti-Doping over the role of Mo Farah's former coach Alberto Salazar. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Professor Rob Copeland is Director of The Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC) in Sheffield and Professor of Physical Activity and Health at Sheffield Hallam University. Rob is a keen cyclist. He says “if it's going to be a good day, it'll start with a bike ride…” He arrived at the studio having just played host to Andy Anson, the new CEO of the British Olympic Association. That meeting focused on the work that Rob and colleagues across the city have been doing on the Olympic legacy, supporting the population to be more physically active. Rob graduated in Sport and Exercise Science from Newcastle University. He studied for a Masters at the University of Sheffield before working for two years as a Community Health and Fitness Officer in Mansfield, supporting people with chronic health conditions into physical activity. That laid the groundwork for an academic career that started at Sheffield Hallam University, where Rob took a PhD in ‘Psychology and Childhood Obesity.' Over the past 18 years Rob has worked on over 100 projects supporting people into a healthier lifestyle. The story of the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre conventionally starts with the 2012 Olympic Games, but before then Professor Steve Hake had a project called ‘Sports Pulse', which was about how academia and elite sport, particularly sports engineering, could support local companies to advance their technologies. With London 2012, Sheffield was awarded foundation partner status in the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine and received £10m of investment from the then Department of Health. Sheffield established a city-wide partnership with representation from every aspect of civic life, led by Sir Andrew Cash and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. The money was used to collocate NHS clinics with leisure centres. Three leisure centres in Sheffield now host 80,000 clinical appointments per year. This in turn became part of a much bigger programme called ‘Move More', Sheffield's physical activity strategy. The ambition of that programme was to transform Sheffield into the most active city in the UK. Rob led that programme and Steve Hake became the Research Director. That programme morphed into the AWRC. At its heart is the vision of transforming lives through innovations that help people move. The AWRC is located in Darnall, a ward of 22,000 people, a neighbourhood of 90,000 people, where there is “huge health inequality”, so the centre has a contextual local vision, “it's not just a grand vision.” The £14m funding for the building came from an application to the Department of Health and Social Care. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) provided just under £1m for the equipment. The research work of the AWRC is coordinated around three themes: Healthy and Active 100, which looks at how someone born in Darnall today could expect to live 100 years of healthy and active life; Living Well with Chronic Disease, which considers physical activity as a treatment for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke etc; Technological and Digital Innovations to promote independent lives, which talks to the NHS 10-year plan. The centre has a programme of engagement with the private sector, including new start-ups and SMEs. Deputy Director Dr Chris Lowe secured a grant of £850k from Research England to create a ‘Wellbeing Accelerator', which supports the private sector with academic expertise. To be remotely successful the AWRC will have to have tackle the 38% of the population who, according to the latest NHS report, average less than 15 minutes per day of vigorous activity. In relation to this, Rob is “wholly convinced by the power of people.” All communities have assets, talents, and drive, and the AWRC is concerned with creating the conditions within which they can thrive. But the social, economic, and environmental conditions are not the same across all communities. Therefore, this has to be a conversation about empowerment and not...

Michael stated on a recent edition of the podcast that BBC Sports Personality of the Year is the closest the UK gets to the Oscars for talkability about an awards show. Tonight's gong-fest in Aberdeen has again sparked debate and conversation. Ben Stokes won the main award with the England Men's Cricket Team picking up team of the year and moment of the year. We also discuss awards for Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Doddie Weir.Our other main talking point is about how the UK is the live sport capital of the world. Data analyst company Two Circle has crunched the numbers and come up with the amazing statistic that the UK has more people going to watch live sport in any one year than it's actual population. We discuss how and why.Tahiti appears to have won an unlikely Olympic bid. Sort of. Paris has put forward the French Polynesian Island as the host of Olympic surfing in 2024. Meanwhile, The British Olympic Association has reacted strongly to news it might be facing legal action from it's own athletes.And, there's news on rugby sevens, skiing, equestrian and golf.

Paralympic discus thrower Dan Greaves and Olympic 400m runner Martyn Rooney dive deep into the issues at British Athletics and UK Athletics as the sport in Britain ends the year in some turmoil.  They give their views on the departures of Zara Hyde Peters who was due to become the Chief Executive at UK Athletics and Neil Black the UK Athletics Performance Director.   Dan and Martyn also talk about what athletes want from those working behind the scenes and how they can help performance. Dan gives details about his new role on the British Athletes Commission and what he and his colleagues aim to achieve. Martyn goes into the dispute with the British Olympic Association over sponsorship and gives the athletes take on the issues. And the boys also talk through the start of their winter training regime and the thinking behind their training plans.  Dan also explains the 60 for 60 challenge of 60 reps at 60kg on the bench. We'd love you to get in touch via social media @discusdan @martynrooney

Was Eliud Kipchoge's sub-two marathon an extraordinary athletic achievement? Or was it a technology-doped gimmick? Could it be viewed as both? A little late to the party, perhaps, but full of opinion as ever - we took a look at his history-making run through the streets of Vienna.Within 24 hours of that, Brigid Kosgei was smashing Paula's time in Chicago, and so fell one of the greatest statistical outliers in the sport: the longest-standing marathon record of the post-War era. What a time to be a distance runner, eh? That is, unless you want to compete on a track on the World Athletics circuit... #DiamondWhat?We also cast our eyes over the end-of-season awards, and - with hindsight - did a pretty good job guessing the winners... Finally - Christian Taylor's The Athletics Association is up and running, and Adam Gemili (plus others) are taking legal action against the British Olympic Association's application of Rule 40. We'll hear more over the coming weeks from athletes involved in both schemes, but it's fantastic to see them increasing their say over the governance of their own sport and careers. In the words of Billy Bragg: there is power in a union.@BackstraightB and @Claire_GThomas. You know what to do.

The World Para Athletics Championship has ended in Dubai, We hear from Head Coach Paula Dunn on the success of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team. Athletes from these shores finished third on the medal table with the likes of Hannah Cockroft and Sophie Hahn again on top of the world. There were familar names like Richard Whitehead winning medals along with a new generation of stars getting ready for Tokyo 2020. We discuss the sucess of the para team and how maybe it's time to get beyond the narrative of using words like 'inspirational' and 'super-human' and how we should just be accepting of their incredible athletic endeavours.On track to Tokyo, the British Olympic Association has been threatened by legal action from some of it's own athletes. Big names like Mo Farah, Adam Gemilli, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Laura Muir want more rights around how they can work with personal sponsors. We look at both sides of the debate and highlight how Team GB is not a publicly finded entity, but continues to send teams that are prepared better than anyone to successive editions of the Olympic Games.In other news, we talk about Any Murray and the Davis Cup. We also have news of British medals in para fencing and para badminton as well as more success for table tennis player Liam Pitchford. We look back on the career of British double Olympic gold medal winning cyclist Steven Burke, who announced his retirement this week, and look ahead to the International Swimming League landing in London.Plus, Munich will host the next edition of The European Championships in 2022.It's all on Anything but Footy - your Olympic and Paralympic sport podcast.

Podcast 034 Show Notes – Performance People In this week's episode, Steve takes the reins on his own as he shares some perspectives about developing the next generation of performance people. Over the last few years Supporting Champions have been applying the lessons learnt in elite sport into other sports, business and education and one of the areas we keep observing/hearing about is the lack of skilled graduates. People and team development has therefore been a major area of work for us and has been for Steve throughout his time at the British Olympic Association and the English Institute of Sport. A significant shift toward this began post-Beijing, focusing not only developing the performance of athletes but that too of the team behind the team. This podcast will focus on these ideas, distilling advice for people in three key early career phases; during study, transitioning out of university and attempting to land a job and after just securing a role. Show Notes Steve starts by sharing the “Letter to the 15,000” blog he first published in 2015 which has been read over 300,000 times across the world. The blog highlights the ever-growing concentrated graduate pool and the gaps between the education system and the workplace. Here, Steve offers advice and practical tips to those who are currently studying and preparing for life after university. Steve starts to explore the transition out of university into the workplace and the hurdles people encounter when applying for jobs, managing online presence, differentiating self from others and the importance of work and personal experience. So you have got the job? Now what? Steve talks about the chaotic start you will face whilst immersing yourself into your new role and environment. He emphasises the requirements of having to skill up quickly, find role clarity, broaden your network and all of this whilst still being incredibly effective under pressure. Steve highlights the startling facts behind the university-employment gap widening. and urges you to take action, ownership and responsibility of your career. The world of work is messy, ambiguous, fast moving and pressured. Find out how we can help you prime your knowledge in this area and get started.

Let's turn our attention to our next guest. Zoe Stainsby, the Head of Entertainment at Fuse – their basic principal is to create partnerships and experiences, which anyone can do, right? But these experience need to make an impact and a difference to those that are part of it, through the likes of sports, music and gaming. Fuse have worked with an eclectic mix of top named brands: Starbucks, Levi’s, McDonalds, Channel 4 and even the British Olympic Association. And you know you’re going to get a wealth of information out of your guest when you realize they have provided thought leadership at events such as Cannes Lions, Amsterdam Dance Event, Musexpo, Roundhouse Women In Music and Liverpool SoundCity. Takeaways - Zoe’s career started off with learning the basics, from the ground up! But Zoe also understood that academia can also help with career progression and took it upon herself to get a qualification that would help in achieving her ambitions around what she is passionate about, music! But it was so interesting to her that it was the cohort that came along with the qualification that really set Zoe’s passion alight - There are 4 different trends we all need to look out for in the future of Entertainment Marketing: 1) Delivering value via a purchase funnel through entertainment 2) The rise in Reggaeton (South American Hip-Hop) and the Globalisation of music in general 3) Mutual value partnerships (between brands, other brands and / or artists) 4) The rise or cryptocurrencies within the music industry 5) e-Sports and the convergence of Sports and entertainment - Finally, and most importantly….. If you are looking to progress within this industry you must work hard and be nice to people! Don’t be afraid to fail, have fun while your doing this and network, build up your network and look to get a mentor – someone that has done what you want to do or is where you want to be.

This week with Steve Hewlett: MPs have been grilling the BBC over the way it contracts its presenters, leading to allegations such as that on the front of the Daily Mail this week: "148 BBC stars avoiding tax". Conservative MP Steve Barclay was one of those questioning the BBC and he tells Steve where his concerns lie. Bal Samra, the BBC's director of business affairs, responds. And, in a week when the BBC and its commercial arm BBC Worldwide have published their reports, analyst Theresa Wise asks whether Worldwide could be doing more to contribute to the BBC's income for the benefit of licence fee payers.The British Olympic Association has had to reject thousands of applications for press passes. One of those surprised to find themselves among the reject pile was The Voice, "Britain's favourite black newspaper", which believed it had assurances from Seb Coe that it would be allowed in to cover the events. Now, after some lobbying and a pass becoming available today, it has a permit to cover track and field. Elizabeth Pears of The Voice tells the story and Ashling O'Connor, who helped distribute the passes, explains how they decided who to include in the shortlist.And Yahoo has a new chief executive, Marissa Mayer, straight from Google.

Anti-doping authorities in Britain will carry out more than 7,000 drugs tests on athletes at the London Olympics and Paralympics later this year, more than at any previous games. They're also warning potential cheats that the 2012 Games will be the 'riskiest yet' with a greater chance of them getting caught.But, despite the rhetoric, the British Olympic Association also faces the overturning of its lifetime Olympic ban for any athlete banned for more than six months for a doping offence. The World Anti-Doping Agency says the BOA's stance is not compliant with its code. What message does this send in an Olympic year, and what can WADA do to combat what it sees as the growing role of organised crime in the trafficking of performance enhancing drugs? Tim Franks speaks to WADA's President, John Fahey.
