Don't know who that is - I'm sure if you've been a fan of cycling for any time, you know a rider or a team he's worked with - with a performance career in cycling for over 25 years there isn't much he hasn't done.And I will jump in with a few of his roles in high-performance in a moment but one thing that was nice about talking to Simon was when you have someone that has been around for so long (sorry if that makes you sound old Simon). But when you're around long enough, you've seen many things come and go - so it was nice to hear what he prioritizes in coaching and cycling performance. And it's not what you might first think when you hear he was Head of Performance Support and Innovation at Team Sky.But just so we're clear on Simon's experience, he started out as a sports science graduate from Cardiff University and became a Sports Scientist with British Cycling just months later. He would go on to coach the Great Briton team pursuit riders through several Olympic cycles before taking up a job managing the Western Australia Institute of Sport, then moving to Team Sky, before his last role as AusCycling Performance Director for the last Olympic cycle.Guest panelist:Simon Joneshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/simonjones5/The podcast co-hosts:Jason Boynton, Ph.D.boyntoncoaching.comDamian Rusesemiprocycling.comCyrus Monkcyclistscientist.comInstagram: @cyclingperformanceclubFacebook: @cyclingperformanceclubTwitter: @cyclingclubpodLinkedIn: The Cycling Performance Club PodcastReferences:Is WorldTour Racing Actually Getting Harder?https://beyondthepeloton.substack.com/p/is-top-level-racing-actually-getting?fbclid=IwAR2f13_oQKAcEFztN0lLpkEDVSxZ2EQJ9qfqI7-nFel7YFdNGUXEKCYOEEw

For Episode 92 we sit down with Chris Mayes, Technical Director of BC Triple Threat in Haarlem in Holland.Mayes, who grew up on the South East coast near Worthing, started out playing before turning his eye to coaching between Worthing and Solent Kestrels under the tutelage of the legendary Jimmy GuymonWhilst trying to build his experience at a camp in the US, he was told he would need a degree to be able to permanently relocate across the channel so returned to the UK to take an assistant role with Worthing Thunder, whilst doing an undergraduate degree in Coaching Science at the University of Chichester.However, in late 2004 he was diagnosed with a brain tumour, having to undergo surgery and requiring a period of recovery but it gave him an opportunity to reflect and decide coaching was the path he wanted to pursue seriously.After getting his undergrad, he moved to Worcester for an MSc in Coaching Science whilst assisting with the BBL side, before feeling that for him to progress like he wanted, he would need to leave the UK. He dropped out of his masters and in 2010 took an unpaid job (food and board only) at Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain. After five years at CBA (he did end up taking a salary!) working with some of the top prospects in Europe, he moved on, having now worked in Belgium with Pepinster-Verviers, Liege Basket and Leuven Bears (where he was interim Head Coach for a period), Netherlands (New Heroes Den Bosch), and Spain (CB TerrAlfàs), in roles split between Assistant Coach with the pro side and youth development roles. Mayes has now spent over a decade on the continent in unstable conditions in pursuit of a career in the sport he loves.Timestamps:00:00 Intro02:32 Interview start02:40 The situation with COVID-19 in the Netherlands04:22 Chris' role as Technical Director with BC TTT06:33 The structure of BC TTT09:53 Comparing the levels of junior talent in Holland to the UK12:04 Mayes' first exposure to basketball and why he decided to pursue coaching18:03 Getting his undergrad in coaching science and whether it has helped with his coaching20:22 Why chose not to pursue the US route in the end  23:36 Dropping out of his masters at Worcester24:27 What he was unable to get in the UK which led him to want to go abroad26:54 Why he wanted to go overseas28:56 The process of going abroad and landing a role with CBA32:30 The early years of Canarias Basketball Academy34:07 His roles and responsibilities at Canarias Basketball Academy36:07 How often he was coming back to the UK when at CBA38:21 The realities of day to day life at CBA42:23 Some of the most talented players he worked with 45:46 The Sports Illustrated article in 2016 alleging potential underhanded dealings at CBA 48:47 Why he decided to leave CBA51:05 Moving to Belgium with Pepinster-Verviers52:43 The differences going from elite youth to elite pros56:38 Player development becoming team development 58:48 Whether his focus is around youth development or coaching at pro level1:01:38 Believing development comes from top to bottom 1:08:34 Working with the Armenian national team1:12:42 Moving to rival Belgium club Liege1:14:27 His time with Leuven Bears in Belgium, becoming interim Head Coach1:16:56 The lack of stability in basketball coaching1:20:41 Whether the instability of coaching is sustainable1:23:09 If there is frustration with the British game for not allowing him to be able to develop at home1:28:58 Best British junior player he's ever seen1:30:27 The best coach he's worked with1:31:22 His favourite basketball memory1:32:09 Whether we are going to see a return of Makem Takem podcast1:32:58 Where Mayes wants to be in 3-5 years        The show has been approved on iTunes – find it here and please subscribe to automatically receive new episodes straight to your phone/computer/tablet – if you could give us a review/rating it would be much appreciated to help the podcast spread far and wide, meanwhile it is also on Spotify here, Overcast, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.You can support Hoopsfix's work in helping to grow British basketball on Patreon.

Joe DiGirolamo is the Director of Coaching Science at International Coaching Federation. Kirsten Joel have a very interesting conversation around his research around “the coaches' journey”. First coaches learn models and tools – the next steps in their development is to be present for the client. Kirsten and Joel talk about this evolution and how coaches can develop excellence, about “deliberate practice” and how coaches can become “Yoda-coaches”. Reflective practice and self-development as they are now part of the updated core competencies are an integral part of it. Joel and his colleagues developed a useful model around this (which we won't give away here). Anyone interested in their development as a coach should absolutely tune in!!!

We have a tremendous session today reflecting how research has shown just how important your pre shot routine is to effective performance.   If you are not looking at or working on this you are REALLY missing a trick.   The tremendous research was conducted by Dr Matt Bridge who is a senior lecturer in coaching and sports science at Birmingham University.   Matt has been working at the University since 2001. He lectures in coaching and applied sport science on the School’s BSc Applied Golf Management Studies and BSc Sport, Physical Education and Coaching Science undergraduate degrees. Matt is also Director of Golf for University Birmingham Sport working with students in running the university's very successful golf teams.   From Matt’s research we now know that   Professional golfers can achieve greater success if they spend less time over the ball, according to the RSM Player Performance study conducted by RSM in collaboration with the European Tour.   The study collected data on 47 European Tour professionals over five tournaments, 304 rounds of golf and 22,579 shots.The study revealed three key findings:       Spending less time over the ball could earn a European Tour player an extra €189k per season.      Quicker shots improve performance. A shorter time over the ball across all putts results in a 90 per cent increase in the likelihood of strokes gained.       Consistency of time spent over the ball leads to a greater chance of making the cut. When players are more consistent in rounds one and two they are 50 per cent more likely to make the cut compared to less consistent players.         It really is fantastic to see the scientific evidence of how important an effective routine is. In the show we look in great details at the importance of understanding what works for YOU as an individual but Matt has some very effective suggestions as to what he see are ‘flexible guidelines’       We also discuss how important it is to understand the role of practice in establishing these unique and personal routines       The importance of time on the actual golf course. Training your brain to play not just practice       The way we can get in the way of our own progress       Why the CONTEXT is everything       How the role of COMMITMENT plays such a vital role in good golf and how you can go about creating a stronger commitment to each and every shot you play       For more details of Matt’s great work and what he can do for your game go to www.mattbridgegolf.com       To spend time with Karl on a one to one basis to develop your game go to www.themindfactor.com. This week we have a VERY special limited offer of a pre season package to transform your game

My guest this week is Dr. Edward Coughlan, skills acquisition specialist.  "As a Skill Acquisition Specialist I empower athletes across all sporting dsiciplines to perform their best in competition. Ineffective practice is why most athletes fall short of peak performance. Practice MUST transfer and Skill Acquisition is the route to achieving that. Skill Acquisition is the perfect blend of Coaching Science, Sport Science and Sport Psychology. All three domains are in constant flow during a session as I connect with an athlete to unlock their potential."   In this episode we discuss: 1.Spatial awareness & decisions making, are these traits inherent or can they be significantly improved through coaching and if so how do we go about this? 2.Simulation in field sports: Is the common practice of drills and simulated games the most effective way of improving skills performance in games such as GAA, soccer etc. 3.How important is deliberate practice in skill acquisition? Why the 10,000 hour rule is invalid?  4.How vision training can improve performance and what is the Mi-Sight programme? 5.Why skills testing is just as important than fitness testing.    Dr. Coughlans website: http://dredwardcoughlan.com
