In the latest episode of the Next ReGeneration podcast, hosts Anina and Elena welcome Ian Needleman, Professor of Periodontology and Healthcare Research at UCL Eastman Dental Institute in London, UK. A passionate runner himself, Needleman has devoted substantial research to exploring the oral health of athletes and its impact on their performance and overall well-being.   Needleman shares fascinating insights from his assessments of athletes' oral health during the London 2012 Olympic Games. His studies consistently reveal that elite athletes frequently suffer from poor oral health, a phenomenon observed across both developing and developed nations. Although the exact mechanisms linking oral health to sports performance are not yet fully understood, inflammation seems to be a key factor. Needleman's research underscores that enhancing oral health can significantly boost athletic performance.

In this Spotlight edition, Gareth Davies and Ross Tucker dive ever deeper into the abyss of sport's Talent Identification and Development inefficiencies. With a nod to our most recent podcast on Gout Gout's meteoric rise and anticipated trajectory to sprint dominance, we discuss how elite sport 'farms' talent in a 'race to the bottom' that characterises the ruthless pursuit of champions. We discuss the costs this creates, both financial and human, using talent pathway practices in cycling, football, rugby and tennis to illustrate why lost young athletes and inefficiencies are features of the system, rather than 'bugs'. We also discuss the latest developments in the world of anti-doping, where WADA have announced changes to contamination cases and accidental doping, and where the UCI have moved to ban carbon monoxide use for performance enhancement, but not measurement.SHOW NOTES:Join DiscourseIf you fancy a bit of the coaching, sports science and sports news conversations with our amazing members, consider a small donation to become a Patron of the site, and get access to our Discourse community, where you can join like-minded fans and sports enthusiasts to keep the conversation going.The article discussing the retirement of junior cyclists and the ruthless efficiency with which they are replacedA research article exploring how U23 performances predict elite cycling performance, perhaps not surprisingly, as discussed in the showMy 2019 article on the curse of the precocious athleteThe Gout Gout podcast referenced in our Talent discussionsThe very interesting Discourse topic in which Gareth and others talk about the changes in professional cycling (Discourse members only)A news article on WADA's announcement about intended changes to the Anti-Doping Code, including the discussed changes to contaminated product and accidental doping rulesThe UCI "bans" carbon monoxide use for performance enhancement, but not for measurement.

It seems shocking that the 2024 Olympics marks the first time there will be a nursery in the Olympic Village, for mothers competing at the Games. While there has been a huge increase in recent years in the number of elite athletes returning to sport postpartum — and in the resources available to them (thanks to pro moms like Allyson Felix, Alysia Montaño, and Chelsea Sodaro) — it begs the question, "How are we JUST getting here?!"Figuring out how to train (or not) during pregnancy — how often, at what intensity — and what the timeline looks like for moms wanting to return to sport postpartum can be challenging. The research on pregnant and postpartum female athletes has been lacking, and many women face outdated beliefs from doctors and society. That is especially true for moms at the elite Olympic level.Kelly and Sara are joined by Dr. Shefali Christopher PT, DPT, PhD, LAT, ATC to discuss the latest research on training during pregnancy and postpartum, including:How to know you're ready to return to training postpartum?What return-to-sport postpartum guidelines exist for athletes?What recommendations are there for pregnant athletes?Recommended exercises, including lower extremity, core, and pelvic floor workSara also shares her personal experiences of being pregnant as a professional triathlete, along with coming back after giving birth.Not surprisingly, there isn't a "one size fits all" approach — despite what social media might say! — which is why it's important to have a network of support. Factors like childcare, sleep, nutrition, energy deficiencies, and stress all impact a mom's risk for injuries and timeline as they return to training. What else is needed in the coming years to help more female athletes during this stage of their careers?Here is some of the key research on postpartum reutrn-to-sport and training during pregnancy: Medical consensus on how to know when you're ready to return to running postpartum: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/6/299Consensus on designing a return-to-run program: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/4/183The four-phase approach to postpartum return-to-run: https://www.themotherrunners.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Rehabilitation_of_the_Postpartum_Runner__A_4_Phase.3-2.pdfSign up to Receive The Feisty 40+ Newsletter:https://www.feistymenopause.com/blog/Feisty-40-plus Sign up to Receive The Feist Newsletter:https://www.womensperformance.com/the-feist Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performance Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ https://www.womensperformance.com/ Support our Partners:Hettas: Use code FEISTY20 for 20% off at https://hettas.com/ Tifosi Optics: Use code FM20 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/ The Amino Co: Shop Feisty's Favorite 100% Science-Backed Amino Acid Supplements.

Companies can learn a massive amount from elite sports in terms of spotting and nurturing the talent required to build highly effective teams. Having an adaptable, flexible, and self-aware mindset is critical in these disruptive times, and professional sports have coaching models that can help leaders develop this mindset in their teams. I was lucky enough to speak to former England Cricket Captain Sir Andrew Strauss at the recent Transform conference in Las Vegas. After his playing career finished, Andrew ran elite cricket in the UK for four years. He is now the co-founder of Mindflick, a high-performance coaching business that uses psychology and technology to make the lessons from elite sports accessible to companies. In the interview, we discuss: What can elite sports teach business about leadership? Learning how to be adaptable in dynamic environments The importance of self-awareness Understanding how teams react under pressure What makes top talent Understanding and accepting weaknesses  The role of technology Getting buy-in and building an emotional connection with a group vision Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

This week, I am joined by Kara Goucher. She bravely shares her experiences as an athlete, including injuries, financial struggles, and her time with the Nike Oregon Project. We delve into the weight management pressures and ethical dilemmas she faced regarding doping practices. Kara also opens up about the emotional impact of being assaulted by her coach and the struggle to speak out about it. We also discuss the mistreatment of pregnant athletes by sponsors like Nike and the importance of advocating for clean sport and athlete welfare. Throughout our conversation, Kara emphasizes the importance of standing up for what's right, even if it comes at a personal cost. Her story is inspiring and highlights the need for change in the sports industry and beyond. This is a powerful discussion. I encourage everyone to listen to this discussion and join Kara in speaking up against abuse and wrongdoing in sports.

I'm delighted to speak with Karin Hägglund this week. Karin is a Former Swedish National team coach and National team athlete in karate. She is a five-time Swedish champion and three-time Nordic karate champion. Karin now researches how we can maintain well-being and health while performing at a high level over time. PhD-student in Sustainable High-performance Coaching at The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences Karin is also editor and writer for the magazine FLOW published by the Swedish Sports Psychology Association and is a board member of the Swedish Sports Psychology Association. Karin and I discuss a paper she led entitled “Starting a Conversation about Vulnerability in Elite Sport”. The paper provides practitioners with resources based on insights from high-performance coaches to enable conversations about vulnerability in sport. The aim is that practitioners will use these resources to stimulate reflection and dialogue about vulnerability, which may lower thresholds for help-seeking and foster sustainability in sport organisations.

Minter Dialogue with Dr Peter Sear Dr Peter Sear is a psychologist, senior member of the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH), founder of The Empathic Mindset organisation, based in the UK, and author "Empathic Leadership, Lessons from Elite Sport," published by Routledge. His book explores coaching in a number of sports, such as rugby, football, hockey and lacrosse and across a variety of countries and cultures. In this conversation, we discuss how empathic leadership has become more prevalent in sports, especially in helping to manage relationships, build trust and establish a strong line of communication. We look at the role of empathy in giving feedback, the notion of mattering and purpose for athletes, and the issue of governance and dealing with the owners. We also explore the crossovers of empathic leadership in sports into society and business, including notions of dealing with multi-cultural environments, high stress, male and female differences, as well as the immensely important challenge of developing trustworthy relationships.  If you've got comments or questions you'd like to see answered, send your email or audio file to nminterdial@gmail.com; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.

Patrick Harding and George Hadjigeorgiou, our esteemed guests and leading figures in their respective domains, share narratives that decode the essence of high performance. They contend that it's about surpassing self-imposed milestones and the silent benchmarks instilled in our early years. With riveting anecdotes, they elucidate how consistency in action and behaviour is paramount, regardless of the situation at hand.This episode explores the art of bouncing back from failures and the importance of detaching one's sense of self from performance outcomes. Together, we examine the strategies akin to those used in elite sports coaching that can be seamlessly integrated into career development. We showcase how individuals can steer their professional journey toward sustained success by championing personal values. Patrick and George vividly illustrate this approach with stories from the front lines of athletic and entrepreneurial endeavours.About Patrick HardingPatrick Harding is a Performance Coach with 14 years' experience in Elite Sport.

Property investor Mark Winship of Gateway Accommodation shares his journey from elite sports coaching to property investment. Mark discusses how his background in coaching tennis and performance coaching has influenced his approach to property. He explains the concept of apart hotels, which are converted guest houses that offer self-catering facilities and automated self-check-in. Mark also shares his experience with planning applications and the importance of building a strong power team.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark's background in elite sports coaching has influenced his approach to property investment, particularly in terms of goal setting, discipline, and resilience. Apart hotels are a type of accommodation that involves converting guest houses or bed and breakfasts into self-contained studios or apartments with self-catering facilities. Apart hotels straddle the line between hotels and serviced accommodation, offering a more flexible and modern approach to short to medium-term stays. Planning permission may be required for converting properties into apart hotels, but targeting guest houses with existing C1 planning use class can simplify the process. Building a strong power team and surrounding oneself with experts in various areas is crucial for success in property investment and management. BEST MOMENTS "I think some of it's lacks the substance, like just willing something into existence isn't necessarily going to make it a reality."  "It's about having the right team around you. It's having a power team that you can lean on, that as investors we don't need to know the answers to."  "I think there are lots of opportunities out there. I like it because it's not a crowded market. It's not a particularly competitive market. So there's scope to do some quite creative deals." "The main ethos is to create a community of like-minded investors who are there to support each other."  VALUABLE RESOURCES GET YOUR DEVELOPMENT FINANCE HERE: https://propertyfundingplatform.com/WharfFinancial#!/borrowerinitialregistration SOVEREIGN MAN PREMIUM INTELLIGENCE MEMBERSHIP https://dash.sovereignman.com/a/smc12m995/tpnpodcast SOVEREIGN MAN 4th PILLAR https://dash.sovereignman.com/a/4pmain/tpnpodcast ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone is the author of the Amazon best-seller Buy-To-Let: How To Get Started as well as 101 Top Property Tips and Property FAQ's.

This was a fun chat with one of my 'old athletes". I had the pleasure of working with Nathan Burke when I was at St. Kilda Football Club for a few years. And of his 3 Best & Fairest Awards, 4 x All-Australian Teams, St. Kilda Team of the Century, 323 games and Australian Hall of Fame induction, I contributed exactly zero to his success but nonetheless, it was an absolute pleasure working with him. This is a casual chat with Burkey about life in and outside of sport. Enjoy. *TYP Triva: Nathan was our first ever guest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2020 a men's artistic gymnastics athlete tested positive for a banned substance. He was given a four year ban and following an appeal to the court of arbitration for sport this was reduced to two years. He argued that the Meldonium found in his system which is commonly used to treat heart conditions was due to contaminated food products. I was very naive about my sport growing up, to me it was all bout respect, work ethic, honesty and wether or not the best man could win. We all have a different set of motivations in life and an individual set of starting blocks. Cheating has always been a big part of sport. And this is my story.

Meet Brannon Johnson! - an accomplished athlete and the creator of the first rowing club for African Americans in this country

Athletes & legendary coaches from sport are often cited by leaders to motivate, inspire, & pull together as a team. But how many leaders actually practice & use the skills these high-achievers leverage to be successful? In today's sports landscape, coaches who have embraced emotional intelligent approaches are scoring points & building dynasties. And corporate leaders have a lot to learn from them.Today, Dr. Peter Sear & I talk about how sport leadership has changed & become more empathic over the last two decades - thus attracting a different kind of leader. We discuss how coaches manage empathic relationships & get the balance of "close but not too close" right. Peter also shares the concept of Empathic Accuracy & tips for how to help your team build empathy among each other. To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:It is important to find & keep the balance between coach & athlete. It is also important to maintain relationships between all players, not just one or two. The same thing goes for employers & employees. Nothing beats getting to know someone on a human level - it is not about the favorites form that someone has filled in. In modern workplaces, it is important that leaders model & show empathy to their teams. That has to start with awareness & shoring up their own empathy skills.

An Olympic rower-turned-pro-bike rider, Cam is now one of the world's best Ironman athletes – all while racing on the road for one of the leading men's road teams, the INEOS Grenadiers. He's raced in the world's biggest gravel event, Unbound, and is planning an assault on the tortuous multi-stage mountain bike race Cape Epic with INEOS team-mate Pauline Ferrand-Prévot. Now 40, he's as determined as ever to keep competing and still firmly believes he can win the IRONMAN World Championship one day.Rob and Eliot welcomed Cam to Just Ride the day after 2023's IRONMAN World Champs, held in Nice, and got a full debrief on his swim, ride and run to 14th – before discovering just how many more strings there are to Cameron's bow, while learning about the intricacies of triathlon along the way.

In episode #53 of The Business Case For Women's Sports, presented by Ally, Caroline interviews Sarah Styles - the Director of the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation in Victoria, Australia. In 2015, the Victorian Government made a commitment to increase the number of women and girls participating in sport and active recreation.As a result, the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation was born, which is the only government agency of its kind in Australia. In her role, Sarah oversees all of the Office's initiatives, and most recently, her team released a new piece of research called, ‘The Value of You Can Be What You Can See: Addressing the Sponsorship Gap for Women's Elite Sport' that found that sponsorships of women's elite sport actually outperform men's when it comes to brand awareness, brand consideration and customer conversion. The data revealed that for every $1 corporate sponsors invest into women's sport, they see - on average - $7.29 customer value in return. In this episode, listen to Sarah and Caroline discuss the findings of the full report, and make the business case for why brands should sponsor women's elite sports.More from GOALS Follow GOALS on Twitter: @goals_sports_Follow GOALS on Instagram: @goals_sports_Follow GOALS on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/goals-sportsShop: goals-sports.com/shopEmail: hello@goals-sports.com

Joanne McCallie better known as “Coach P” joins Something For Everybody this week. One of the most highly decorated female college basketball coaches in history. Coach P has coached at Maine, Michigan State, and most recently Duke. She's the only Division I head coach to lead two different programs to 30-win seasons with three National Championship game appearances, and she won National Coach of the Year in 2005. Coach P's success on the court speaks for itself, but there is much more to her story. So, in this conversation, we discuss Coach P's experience battling bipolar disorder while coaching elite sport and how she has transitioned away from coaching basketball to coaching in a different way while advocating and speaking about mental health. - Our Sponsor AMARE - get $10 off your next order - https://www.amare.com/155249/en-us/ (use code: EVERYBODY) Try MentaBiotics The most comprehensive combination of unique strains of probiotics, prebiotics, and phytobiotics that have been scientifically shown to improve mental wellness.  https://www.amare.com/155249/en-us/MentaBiotics (use code: EVERYBODY) - Our Sponsor Warrior CBD - get 15% off your next order - https://warriorcbdofficial.com/ (use code: EVERYBODY) - Extra Stuff: Follow Joanne on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CoachP4Life Checkout Coach P's Website: https://coachp4life.org/ Buy Coach P's books: https://coachp4life.org/books/ Email Coach P: CoachP4Life@gmail.com - Check out my mental health non-profit, YouAreLoved: https://youarelovedlife.com/ Subscribe to my newsletter: http://eepurl.com/iiVzhj Something For Everybody Merchandise → https://shopforeverybody.com/collections/somethingforeverybody - To support me on Patreon (thank you): https://www.patreon.com/AaronMachbitz (Recorded on February 16th, 2023) Edited by Ben Rogerson (@BenRogerson_) Intro music by Residual Audio (Residualaudio.com) - Get in touch:  iG: https://www.instagram.com/AaronMachbitz Twitter: https://twitter.com/AaronMachbitz Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMachbitz/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AaronMachbitz Email:  https://www.aaronmachbitz.com/contact/

Alex Auerbach is a Licensed Counseling and Sport Psychologist, he's a Certified Mental Performance Consultant and Board-Certified Coach working in professional sports. He's worked with elite teams and performers from a range of domains, including the NBA and the NFL, Olympians, Army Special Forces, Fortune 5 companies, and venture-backed start-ups. Currently, he is the Senior Director of Wellness and Development for the Toronto Raptors. In this conversation, we do a deep dive into the world of Sport Psychology, we talk a lot about leadership and culture, and how individuals in teams need to work from the inside out and develop the mindset they need to be at their best, and how environments can impact us from the outside in. Alex is my kind of thinker. He loves to think about and research and study science and best practices that exist in psychology. We both are extremely curious and passionate about what makes teams great and how do we create environments for individuals to unlock their potential.   Alex had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “We need to position the people around athletes and peak performers to facilitate the performance, to be enhancing of performance” (5:45). “Athletes report the single biggest thing stopping them from peak performance is the organizational stuff” (6:30). “The environment is responsible for developing talent” (6:55). “I wish I could say there was one right way to do it, but this is just the way that it works for me” (11:00). “My role is to make sure everyone has what they need from a mental health standpoint and a mental performance standpoint. That also means that I'm not all things to all people; I can't be all things to all people” (13:15). “To be an elite athlete requires a really really high degree of self-regulation” (17:30). “Mental health is the foundation of peak performance” (20:30). “Taking care of your mental health is about leaving more room for you to be a peak performer” (21:40). “We're all feeling something all the time” (24:15). “[Emotion] is a part of the human experience. We're not going to get rid of it, we're not going to fight it” (24:25). “Acceptance is if in fact there is nothing you can do to change the situation, then it is being willing to sit with the discomfort as long as you're moving towards something that you care about” (27:10). “Making the main thing the main thing is really important” (31:20). “The people who are happiest are the people whose experience matches their expectations” (33:50). “Norms are what you accept” (38:45). “A leader is a person who's willing to use themselves to help others get better” (52:05). “The best teammates are the ones who are [leading] behind the scenes, under the radar, who know what buttons to push and levers to pull to get the most out of their teammates” (53:30). “You can win a championship one year without leadership. I'm not sure you can build a dynasty without leadership” (53:45). “My [unfair advantage] is being able to see a system and break it down in parts and see how things fit together and identify what levers to pull and things to move that can make a big change and do it in a behind the scenes way” (59:50). “Adversity does tend to bring out people's real strengths” (1:03:10). “The people who have the best time at work are the people who get to use a strength every day and people who generally feel energized by what they're getting to do, and the two go hand-in-hand” (1:05:30).   Additionally, you can follow Alex on Twitter and LinkedIn.
