Podcast appearances and mentions of cody royle

In episode #302, we revisit one of our best talks from last year's TCS Live coaching conference from Cody Royle. Royle is a coach to some of the most accomplished coaches across multiple sports, along with being the author of three books, The Tough Stuff, Where Others Won't and his latest, Second Set of Eyes. He was a coach himself and has pivoted to providing coaches the sounding board and observations that nudge them towards discovering the best version of themselves. In his talk, “Coaches are Performers, Too,” Royle provides tremendous insight into the importance of coaches not possessing ego, who are willing to be coached themselves. He also provides a system that supports coaches and helps them in situations in which they are experiencing negative mental health symptoms or early burn out.  Listen as he shares why coaches are the greatest source of competitive advantage, how to improve the three primary skills of leadership and why even the best coaches need coaching.

In this episode of "In the Arena," coach and author Cody Royle explores what might be the greatest irony in leadership: those of us who believe deeply in coaching often refuse to be coached ourselves.Having spent decades in leadership positions, I've experienced firsthand that moment when "the weight of responsibility sits heavy on your chest before your feet even touch the floor." It's the silent experience of leaders everywhere, and it reveals our profound contradiction.Cody shares the deeply personal origins of his powerful book "Tough Stuff" – born from his own pain after losing a player to suicide and finding no resources to help navigate that trauma as a leader. "I went looking for things that could help me with that and found nothing," he told me.Our conversation challenges the mythology we've constructed around leadership that equates self-sufficiency with strength. The true courage isn't found in going it alone—it's found in the vulnerability of acknowledging we don't have all the answers.As Cody wisely notes, "Leadership is an exchange of humanity... it's supposed to be connective and it's supposed to be a shared weight." Join us as we explore why having "A Second Set of Eyes" isn't merely support – it's an acknowledgment that our job isn't to have all the answers but to create spaces where better questions can flourish.Notebook ready...Play on!

Cody Royle coaches head coaches in elite sports. After a decade coaching Canada's men's AFL national team, he now mentors fourteen coaches in seven different team sports around the world. Cody is the author of three influential leadership books; Second Set Of Eyes, Where Others Won't and The Tough Stuff. His coaching focuses on the performance and well-being of coaches so that they have access to their best coaching skills when they need them the most. Some of Cody's quotes: “I believe the greatest source of competitive advantage available in professional sports is the optimization of the head coach.” “While we scrounge around for a new squat technique to try to uncover a 0.01 per cent improvement in an athlete, I believe there are multiple percentage points of talent sitting dormant within our head coaches.” “To realize this untapped potential requires a shift in our thinking. We must begin to think of coaches as performers. We must appreciate what a coaching performance entails. We must begin to seek better coaching, not more coaching.” This is why I'm so excited to have Cody on, as he is leading the way in this space. So get ready to give your full attention as you won't want to miss a moment. Talking Points: Cody's challenges as a head coach Treasure in the pain The healthy side of competition High performance doesn't exist without emotion and spirituality included Coming to terms with becoming whole human beings The limitations of the scientific method The trajectory of personal struggle The ultimate human pursuit The power of external practitioner support If you enjoy this episode please leave a review on iTunes or Spotify platforms, and by doing this you will actively help in spreading this content to the practitioners that need it.

We've had our fair share of coaches on the podcast on how to lead and guide people, but how do you lead and guide other coaches to improve their game? Enter today's guest, Cody Royle, a coach who's dedicated his entire focus on improving other coaches through the ‘user experience' of coaching. Cody's coaching career has taken him from playing Rugby in his home of Canberra, Australia, all the way to Toronto, Canada where he currently resides. Serving for over 10 years as a Head Coach in Canada's AFL Aussie Rules, he set out with the goal to transform the league as a national afterthought, to a viable career path for aspiring athletes. During this time, Cody saw the opportunity to help leaders in both the sports world and business world. He met and interviewed hundreds of coaches around the world, and compiled much of his learnings into his first book Where Others Won't: Taking People Innovation from the Locker Room to the Board Room. The success of the book led to Cody hosting a podcast of the same name, and two other books The Tough Stuff: Seven Hard Truths about Being a Head Coach and Second Set of Eyes: How Great Coaches Become Champions. Cody's focus on the user experience, a term that's usually reserved for those developing technology, brings a unique and most importantly, actionable set of guidelines for coaches to improve their craft. This is another one you're not going to want to miss, so with that…let's bring it in!

In this week's episode, I'm excited to welcome back Cody Royle, author of "A Second Set of Eyes," for an in-depth discussion about the need for coaches to have coaches. We explore the often-unspoken emotional and psychological challenges coaches face, delving into themes like masculinity, individualism, and the necessity of a strong support network. The conversation, as you'd expect from anything Cody communicates is rich with insight, exploring fascinating insights about the unique traits that define the coaches that coach expert coaches. We explore how it makes better business sense for teams to require or at least encourage, coaches to get support for their work, well being and performance. This episode goes beyond technical aspects, shedding light on the human elements crucial to effective coaching and leadership.

After taking a few weeks off Dr Pete Olusoga is back with another episode exploring the psychology of performance. We've had actors, singers, dancers, strength athletes, coaches, speed demons, and endurance masters on the podcast this series, but one thing we haven't really considered yet this series is the psychology of The Team. How do we get a group of individuals to start performing as a high functioning team? Do we need to get along to survive? Is it all about the job at hand? What are the factors that bring people together to work as an efficient unit? Dr Pete explores all this and more with Performance Psychologist, Dr Alex Auerbach, and Coach to the coaches, Cody Royle.

It's you. As the speed of change in elite sports has increased, the support infrastructure around head coaches has not kept up. This has left many coaches--supposedly experts in human performance--walking zombies who don't sleep, don't exercise and don't see their families. To succeed in the modern sporting world, head coaches must face some hard truths. By grappling with these truths, which cut to the very core of who they are as human beings, head coaches can get out of their own way and achieve all-new levels of personal performance. We welcome author  of "The Tough Stuff: Seven Hard Truths About Being a Head Coach" Cody Royle Find Cody here: https://www.codyroyle.com

The coach of head coaches: that's the perfect way to explain how Cody Royle operates behind the curtains with the leaders of elite teams around the world. After some traumatic events in his own early coaching journey, Cody realized that there was nobody focussed specifically on how tough situations could impact the performance of head coaches - so he decided to start documenting his coaching philosophy in a series of books, podcasts, and blogs, which led to him becoming the trusted confidant of coaches across multiple sports. In this episode, Royle shares with us how toughness, optimism and a great culture can drive not only professional sports forward, but careers and life in general.
