Paula George – or Georgie as she's commonly known – has a story that will blow you away. She has lived the most remarkable life – with the most inspiring mindset – and she's our favourite type of guest, a humble legend. Georgie is a very private person – and her story, till now, has largely gone untold. Her life started on the back foot in Wales. Georgie wasn't just the only person of colour in her village, but also her family. She was abandoned by her mother, forced into foster care and experienced a childhood filled of prejudice and hurt. But she found safety in sport, where she became a star. She played netball and rugby for Wales, then switched to England and became the first black captain of the England Red Roses. She was one of the first professional women's rugby players and eventually went to six World Cups in two sports. She then became the digital content creator for the All Blacks, married a Kiwi and became a Kiwi, had twins, and a cancer diagnosis. Five years ago she was given four to six months, with survival chances at 25% - but Georgie's still here. And now, she's doing incredible work with the Tania Dalton Foundation where she helps Kiwi kids build their own resilience and happiness. And most recently she's become a part owner of The Northern Kahu: the first all-women owned franchise in New Zealand. Georgie doesn't seek the limelight, she had a taste of fame during her rugby days and hated it. It took a lot for her to share her full story with us and we're so grateful she did – it's a story that will help, inspire and entertain.

Brooke talks to Kelly, the CEO and co-founder of With Not For, a dynamic and disruptive content and talent agency, to look at topics related to disability, acceptance, and their work experiences. They delve into Kelly's personal journey of acceptance as a wheelchair user and reflect on the complexities of navigating disability in different environments. The conversation also looks at their collaboration with Guinness on a project involving accessibility and inclusion at Twickenham Stadium, showcasing their commitment to creating positive change in the industry.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The proudest moment for Kelly was when they said no to someone for the first time, realising the power and responsibility they have in shaping their company's values and working with the right people. The experience of working on the Guinness project, especially the pitch-side moment during the England versus Ireland match, was a significant achievement and a memorable experience. Kelly and her team provided training and consultation to England Rugby and Scotland Rugby, focusing on enhancing accessibility and inclusivity for disabled fans during match days. Building a strong community of like-minded individuals within With Not For, where everyone feels supported, respected, and valued, was emphasised as a key achievement and source of pride. BEST MOMENTS "I think honestly, my proudest moment, I think that the Guinness pitch side moment was up there, you know, when you're up there, especially as well when Rag and Bone Man came on." "The first time we said no to someone... that is huge and I don't want to sound negative in any way but I think that that was the moment where it really clicked for me "That might have been the best day of my life!" VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves.  The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational.  Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”.  As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!INSTAGRAM! https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en: https://www.instagram.com/disabledandproudpodcast/?hl=en

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is joined by Tom Tombleson, Senior Strength and Conditioning Coach with England Rugby. A significant part of their conversation focuses on the innovative use of the warm-up as a movement screen. This technique, honed through his extensive experience in various coaching roles, including his time at Super Rugby with the New South Wales Waratahs, allows for a detailed analysis of each player's physical capabilities and movement patterns. Tom emphasizes the importance of this method in individualizing player training. By assessing players during the warm-up, he can tailor exercises to their specific needs, enhancing overall performance and reducing the risk of injury. This approach represents a shift from traditional warm-up routines, integrating functional movement assessment into the very start of training sessions. Tom shares how this strategy not only optimizes physical readiness for training but also serves as an ongoing tool to monitor player progress and adapt training programs accordingly. The discussion also touches on Tom's journey from being a semi-professional rugby player to a top-level strength and conditioning coach. He reflects on the challenges and learnings throughout his career, providing insights into the evolution of coaching philosophies and methods in high-performance sports. The conversation offers a rare glimpse into the intricacies of professional sports training, with Tom providing practical tips for coaches and athletes alike. Main talking points: Innovations in speed training. Sprinting as movement analysis. Tailoring training to individual athletes. Testing and enhancing game speed. The journey from Super Rugby to England Rugby. Evolution of coaching philosophies. Impact of player history on training. Balancing discipline and enjoyment in coaching.
