What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your strategy, your skills or the market... but the way you see the world? In this episode, Cathy Smith explores Stephen Covey's powerful concept that "the map is not the territory" and why 2 people can experience the same situation but see completely different possibilities. Through stories from Tony Robbins, the recent ICF coaching event, everyday examples and practical coaching insights, you will discover how confirmation bias shapes your decisions, your marketing and your results. If you're ready to stop looking for evidence of why you can't and start seeing what's actually possible, this episode will change the way you think.
Tim Cates sits down with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo's inaugural Women's Flag Football coaches, Rod Sherman and Kristen Sherman, to discuss the exciting challenge of building California's first NCAA Division I women's flag football program from the ground up. The Shermans share what it means to create a program with no previous blueprint—establishing the culture, developing the identity, and laying a foundation that will define Cal Poly Flag Football for years to come. They discuss the importance of recruiting not only elite athletes, but high-character student-athletes who embrace the program's vision and are eager to make history. The conversation also dives into the rapid growth of girls and women's flag football, now one of the fastest-growing sports in America, fueled by explosive participation at the high school level, NCAA expansion, and the sport's upcoming Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028. Rod and Kristen explain why California has become the epicenter of the sport and how Cal Poly is positioned to become a premier destination for the nation's top talent as the NCAA continues to embrace women's flag football as an emerging sport. Both Rod and Kristen Sherman both received their Masters in Coaching from Concordia University Irvine and talk about how that has helped them in their professional growth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, Dr. Andy Galpin joins Slappin' Glass for a practical, high-level conversation on basketball performance, recovery, strength training, sleep, travel, and pregame preparation.Galpin breaks down why improving movement is not just about stretching, mobility work, or lifting weights, but about understanding the physical qualities that allow athletes to move with more range, force, control, and efficiency. The conversation moves from the history of strength training in sport to modern tools for evaluating movement, asymmetries, muscle development, and return-to-play readiness.A major theme of the episode is recovery. Galpin makes a strong case that sleep is still the most powerful performance tool available to coaches and athletes, especially in-season. He discusses the impact of early practices, late-night games, post-practice downregulation, hydration, fueling, protein synthesis, and how coaches can better organize the schedule before fatigue becomes a problem.During “Start, Sub, or Sit,” the conversation turns to silent stressors inside a basketball program, including travel, walkthroughs, film, scout prep, pregame warmups, physical contact, and how to prepare players to actually feel ready when the ball goes up. What You'll Learn Why strength training can improve movement, range of motion, and athletic expression when it is designed correctly. How coaches should think about recovery beyond soreness, including sleep, hydration, refueling, and rebuilding tissue. Why early-morning practices may be costing teams more than they realize. How post-practice and postgame downregulation can help athletes transition toward better sleep. Why travel is one of the biggest hidden stressors on player performance. How to proactively adjust practice loads around dense parts of the schedule. What coaches should consider with bus rides, compression gear, movement breaks, and arrival timing. How to structure pregame warmups around skill feel, physical readiness, movement prep, and contact. Why players need some level of game-like physicality before tip-off, especially bigs and contact-heavy roles. How physiology, breathing, CO2 tolerance, and arousal levels connect to focus, decision-making, and emotional regulation.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!

This is no ordinary episode! This week we hit a remarkable milestone: 300 consecutive weekly episodes without missing a single Monday and to celebrate, the podcast team, Maxine Bell, Smaranda Dochia and Rob Lawrence look back on six extraordinary years of the Association for Coaching podcast. Together they reflect on a journey that has brought together 295 guests, 26 guest hosts, and 33 coaching topics, such as health and wellbeing; marketing; mental health; technology and innovation; creativity; leadership; neurodiversity in the workplace; climate coaching; love; coaching outdoors and getting started as a coach. What began as a show dedicated to the coaching profession has grown into something far greater: a thriving global community where connections, collaborations, and even five international conferences have been sparked by the conversations hosted here. As one listener put it: "I honestly think the podcasts from the Association for Coaching are some of the best quality and content I have ever come across. The range of topics you offer is huge and so relevant to my coaching practice." That spirit of breadth, quality, relevance and genuine usefulness is exactly what this episode celebrates. We have always believed that coaches deserve a space to feel less alone in their practice, a place that champions professionalism, ethics, reflection and growth but also recognises the everyday lives and practice of coaches across the world. And now, to honour everything the podcast has become, comes an exciting new chapter. From this episode, the show officially rebrands as Coaching Voices: The Association for Coaching Podcast. This new name better reflects its inclusive, diverse, and global reach, and the many coaches it has helped find their own authentic voice within the profession. With new hosts, new topics, and the ever evolving coaching landscape ahead, including AI, systemic change, and much more, the team is as committed as ever to meaningful conversations. New episodes drop every Monday on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. We look forward to the next 300! You will learn: · How six years of consistent, weekly conversations have shaped and strengthened the global coaching community. · Why platforming diverse voices — across backgrounds, topics, and experiences — lies at the heart of everything the podcast stands for. · What's next for Coaching Voices, and how you can be part of the next 300 episodes, as a guest or host. "What I find particularly meaningful about this podcast is that it's never been just one voice or one perspective; it's always been a platform for many voices across the coaching profession."

Scott Wylie, co-founder of S2 Cognition, returns to Slappin' Glass for a deeper look at how athletes process the game at speed — and how coaches can use that information to better teach, train, and build around their players.The conversation moves from theory into application: matching systems to cognitive profiles, understanding the trade-off between decision speed and accuracy, and designing practices that help players make better decisions under pressure. Scott also breaks down how stress, fatigue, spatial awareness, distraction control, and improvisation shape performance in real game environments.In this week's Start, Sub, or Sit, Scott discusses what elite players do differently: seeing things earlier, processing faster, and controlling impulses and distractions when the game speeds up.What You'll LearnHow S2 Cognition evaluates decision-making Scott explains the nine systems S2 measures, including visual processing, spatial awareness, decision complexity, instinctive learning, impulse control, distraction control, and improvisation.Why cognitive fit matters Not every player processes the game the same way. Scott discusses why some players thrive in open, read-based systems while others fit better in more structured environments.The speed-accuracy trade-off Playing faster does not automatically mean playing better. Scott explains how coaches can help players toggle between speed and control.How pressure changes processing The conversation explores how fatigue, stress, anxiety, and game environment can affect a player's decision-making.Why spatial awareness matters Scott and Dan discuss how spatial awareness can influence shot selection, positioning, passing windows, and a player's sense of being open.How to train adaptability Scott introduces “VEX drills” — practice designs that violate expectations and force players to adapt when the normal solution disappears.What separates elite players The best players are not simply faster reactors. They anticipate earlier, control impulses, block out distractions, and stay flexible in chaos.To join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 70 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!
In this episode of the Coaching Podcast your host, Georgina Maxwell, speaks with Jamie Greenhalgh. Jamie is a specialist, white water kayaking coach and is on the BCAB White Water Technical Group. His business, Paddle365, delivers white water skills courses throughout the year as well as leadership, coaching and safety training for Paddle UK. His approach to coaching prioritises learning through adventure and challenge, and helping paddlers to feel the joy of skilful movement in a boat. In this episode, we discuss how good technique can be used to maintain a happy paddling body by lining up your limbs to create a system of load-sharing while paddling. This takes the pressure away from individual joints and has a side effect of making you more efficient, more powerful and more stable in the boat.

We've had several questions around how coaches use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in coaching, may that be to grow your business, as part of the coaching, or to improve your coaching skills. Building on our previous two episodes on AI, this episode offers an update with regards to how coaches can utilize AI. We're signposting to a few custom GPTs we're using, prompt advise, and highlight both the value and the risks of using AI in coaching. See also: Episode 91 - How can I use AI to be a better coach?

„Du musst einfach mehr fühlen.“ „Deine Intuition weiß Bescheid.“ „Wenn es aligned ist, fühlt es sich leicht an.“Online klingt das alles wunderschön. Das Problem: Viele Frauen können längst nicht mehr unterscheiden, ob da gerade wirklich Intuition spricht - oder einfach Angst, Überforderung und ein komplett überlastetes Nervensystem
Experienced coaches know this: The more leadership we exhibit in coaching consultations, the easier it is to sign up clients, but the harder it is to then work with them “in partnership”, because we set up the relationship with certain expectations. But if we start with co-creating each part of the coaching relationship from the start, we lack the kind of certainty and confidence that helps clients to say yes to coaching with ease. This is what we may refer to as “the leadership paradox in coaching”, and today the Talking about Coaching Podcast hosts Yannick and Siwash are discussing how to navigate this challenge and strike the right balance. ____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the show
You'll hear us cover: Why a smaller audience is actually your biggest advantage right now (and how to use it) The "good friction" principle — when a questionnaire builds trust and when it kills momentum How to use Zoom registration to capture leads without needing a landing page or tech stack The exact one-on-one conversation framework to have after the event that turns attendees into aligned clients Why leading with service — not your product — is the fastest path to sales that feel good to both sides How to combine audiences with co-presenters and make your message reach further than it ever could alone This isn't theory. This is a real coaching session, with a real person, working through a real campaign.

In this special Legacy Episode of The Coaching Podcast, Coach EM honours the life and work of Jim Loehr — world-renowned performance psychologist, bestselling author, and co-founder of the Human Performance Institute. Dr. Loehr sadly passed away on April 20, 2026, at the age of 83, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy that shaped athletes, coaches, leaders, and performers across the globe. From coaching 17 world number one athletes to transforming the way we think about energy, character, purpose, and performance, Jim's work went far beyond winning. As he famously said, “It's not about making a living, it's about making a life.” About Dr Jim Loehr Dr. Jim Loehr was one of the world's leading performance psychologists and the co-founder of the Human Performance Institute (HPI), the pioneering organization behind the science of energy management and sustained high performance. Over a career spanning more than three decades, his groundbreaking work influenced elite performers across sport, business, medicine, and law enforcement. Jim worked with 17 world number one athletes across sports including tennis, golf, basketball, football, hockey, boxing, motor racing, and the Olympics, while also advising Fortune 500 companies, FBI Hostage Rescue Teams, and military Special Forces. A New York Times bestselling author of 17 books, including The Power of Full Engagement and Leading with Character, Jim believed that true performance was built from the inside out. His work focused not only on mental toughness, but on emotional strength, purpose, character, and energy management. Featured in publications including Harvard Business Review, Fortune, Time, Newsweek, and on programs such as Oprah, Today, and Nightline, Jim's legacy continues to shape coaches, leaders, athletes, and high performers around the world. Coach EM's Favorite 20 One-Liners from Dr. Jim Loehr “It's not about making a living. It's about making a life.” “You don't play tennis to be a great tennis player. You play tennis to grow up.” “Having a deep sense of purpose is one of the most powerful things you will have as a human being.” “Life is short. You have only so much energy to give.” “The more you repurpose what you're doing for something bigger than yourself, something magical happens.” “You can't be empty. You have to give a lot to get much back.” “Everything you do has a consequence.” “The best voice you can listen to is your own voice.” “Preparation, preparation, preparation.” “There's no cheap way to the top.” “The more prepared you are, the more confidence rises.” “The mind follows your eyes.” “Movement creates chemistry.” “A competitor's mind doesn't roll out by itself.” “Teach your kids to love what they do and have fun with what they do.” “You play best when you feel open, free, relaxed, and calm.” “The goal is not dependency. The goal is ownership.” “My goal is to get you out of my life as quickly as possible.” “I want you to become a better coach for yourself.” “As a coach, you are in the influence business.” Pure gold for leadership coaching — especially the ownership-before-accountability philosophy that shaped so much of Coach EM's work.

We hear this from a lot of coaches in recent times: There are too many coaches out there!

At the end you may just feel hopeful about the future of coaching, your business, and the world. ____If you'd like to stay up to date with new episodes, continue the conversation or generally support what we do: Send us your question: http://bit.ly/talkingaboutcoachingSign up to our mailing list (no spam, no sales, just a quick shout about new episodes): https://rocketsupervision.com/talking-about-coaching/Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2cSupport the show

Tim Cates sits down with USD Beach Volleyball head coach Derek Olson for an in-depth conversation about a life built around the sport. Olson reflects on his journey from player to coach, including formative stops at Cal and the University of Washington, where he helped shape competitive programs and sharpen his coaching identity. Now, Olson faces his biggest challenge yet: building USD’s Division I beach volleyball program from the ground up. With the Toreros not scheduled to play their first match until 2027, he shares what it takes to start a program from scratch—recruiting, establishing standards, and laying a foundation built to last. Olson also dives into how earning his Master’s in Coaching and Exercise Science from Concordia University Irvine has influenced his philosophy, coaching style, and approach to culture-building. It’s a thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at long-term program development, leadership, and the patience required to build something meaningful before the first whistle ever blows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://teachhoops.com/ Why Are You Listening to a Coaching Podcast on Christmas Day? It is Christmas Day, and if you are tuning in, it proves one thing: you care deeply about your program. In this special reflective episode, we hit the pause button on the X's and O's, the scouting reports, and the endless grind of the season. We discuss the importance of stepping back to reflect not on the scoreboard, but on the deeper "why" behind the long hours and the sacrifices. We shift the focus from the next game to the long game of coaching. We talk about recognizing the "real wins" that often go unnoticed—the player who finally "got it," the huddle that felt more connected, and the character building that happens when things get tough. This episode is a reminder that while your players might forget a specific drill or play call, they will never forget how you treated them or the standards you modeled during adversity. Finally, we discuss the absolute necessity of self-care for coaches. You cannot pour into your players if your own cup is totally empty. We challenge you to use this holiday to reset your tone, express gratitude to your assistants, and spend guilt-free time with your family. This conversation is your permission slip to slow down today so you can return to the gym grounded, clear, and ready to be the present leader your team needs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on The Coaching Podcast, Coach EM sits down with the legendary Gigi Fernández for one of her most vulnerable and moving conversations yet. Gigi opens up about the competitive mindset it took to become a 17-time Grand Slam champion — and the inner work required to quieten the mind, detach from outcomes, and replace fear with focus. She shares how learning to lose became one of the greatest gifts of her career, supported by an evidence list reminding her that everything truly will be okay. Gigi also talks candidly about parenting twins, the moment Hurricane Helene took everything from her, and how that devastation sparked the revival of purpose behind her foundation, Tennis for Hope. And of course, she leaves us with a doubles tip that every player should tattoo on their brain: the person closest to the ball takes the shot. ABout Gigi Fernández: Gigi Fernández is widely regarded as one of the greatest doubles players in tennis history. A member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, she amassed 17 Grand Slam doubles titles and two Olympic Gold Medals with partner Mary Joe Fernández. In 2000, she was honoured as Puerto Rican Athlete of the Century, recognising her extraordinary impact on the sport. Today, Gigi pours her passion into coaching, education, and philanthropy. She is the founder of The Gigi Method and Gigi Fernández Tennis, helping adult players elevate their doubles skills through world-class camps, clinics, and events around the world. After losing her home during Hurricane Helene, Gigi founded Tennis for Hope, a nonprofit uniting the tennis community to support individuals and clubs affected by natural disasters. Off the court, she is a proud mum to twins, Karson and Madison. Connect with Gigi: https://gigifernandeztennis.com/
