Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Colin Wilson.  Colin Wilson started his performance and coaching journey in sport from age nine, winning national and international age-group medals in Table Tennis from the age of 13, and two Commonwealth silvers, aged just 16. Colin was always curious from a young age, and fascinated by questions like, “Where does High Performance Really Come From?”. As a result of having two amazing sport-specific and philosophical mentors, Colin became a coach educator age 19. He coached England Women, Men, Girls and Boys and later his son Sam became England Under 21s No. 1. After gaining an Economics and Statistics Honours degree at UCL, he was asked to help coaches and coaching programmes in other sports too and worked on sport-wide development programmes in partnership with BASES, UK Sport, sportscoachUK (now UK Coaching) and the British Olympic Association. Working to develop Olympic level coaches was another wonderful opportunity and a further vertical learning curve. With further fantastic mentors and training in traumatology and psychodynamics he bridged the journey to becoming an executive coach and organisational leadership developer, and was invited to support Nokia, BT Global, HSBC, Barclays, Delphi, Unilever, a major political party, and more. He now specialises in developing senior leadership capability and supporting multi-stakeholder, multi-agency situations with significant human dynamics. Ultimately, he relishes helping people and teams to find themselves, their best direction/strategy and their optimal, adaptable development path over time to fulfil their desired aims.

Nominate Last Word On Spurs for Best Podcast - Premier League at the

The latest guest on our Bred a Blue podcast series is Preston North End midfielder, Ryan Ledson. Ledson first came to Everton's attention when he was just four-years-old and he completed the full journey in 2014 when he made his senior team debut. He speaks about his upbringing with the Blues and being handed his Under-21s debut by Alan Stubbs when he was just 15-years-old. His big moment in an Everton shirt came on 11 December 2014 when he was one of four senior debutants against FK Krasnodar in a Europa League tie at Goodison Park. Kieran Dowell, Chris Long and Gethin Jones also made their bows that night. “The team was named an hour-and-a-half before kick-off and I was in it!” says Ledson. Sadly for the player, despite performing well, it would be his one and only appearance for Everton. A highly successful loan spell at Cambridge United in the 2015/16 season really whetted his appetite for senior football and he realised that his future lay beyond Goodison. “I had a year left on my contract at Everton so I could have stayed in the building but I played in a 21s game coming back after Cambridge and I remember thinking during the game that I couldn't do that anymore.” He made the decision to switch to Oxford United where he impressed sufficiently enough to earn a move to the Championship with Preston. Ledson speaks about the teenage pressure of being capped at every level by England and the frustrating injury that prevented him playing alongside Club teammates Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jonjoe Kenny, Dowell and Ademola Lookman when England Under-20s won the World Cup in 2017. Ledson also reveals that he had an agonising decision to make when the Under-17s European Championships clashed with Everton's last Premier League fixture of the 2014/15 season at Hull City. He chose his country, despite thinking that he'd play at Hull. He is now approaching 200 games for Preston, but he retains his genuine affection for Everton and said this about one of his Blues teammates: “He's the best player I've ever played with. He was a step ahead of everyone in training and played balls that you didn't even think were on. And not only that, he was a top fella who really helped the young lads.”

A trip to Old Trafford is on the agenda to see Chelsea pick a fifth WSL title in a row, Luke Edwards sees them do it and then reviews the weekend's action with Sandra Brobbey.Hear from Fran Kirby and Rachel Williams on differing days for Man United and Chelsea.

Arsenal have signed midfielder Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid for a fee in the region of £30m Norway international Odegaard, 22, spent the second half of last season on loan at the Emirates. He made 20 appearances in all competitions and scored two goals. England Under-21 international Ramsdale made 38 Premier League appearances for the Blades last season.He will join Bernd Leno and Runar Alex Runarsson as Arsenal's goalkeepers. "There is still some paperwork but his medical is done, still a few things to sort with Sheffield," Gunners boss Mikel Arteta said.The Gunners have also agreed a deal to sign Ramsdale from Sheffield United."Aaron is a talented young keeper with huge experience and has international experience for England.

Today I am joined by ex pro footballer and high performance coach specialist Drewe Broughton... AKA 'The Fear Coach'.By the age of 20, Drewe had already made some considerable steps in his footballing career. Part of the England Under 20's he was playing alongside the likes of Michael Owen and Rio Ferdinand, with a sponsorship from Adidas under his belt and a growing reputation. However, the intense pressure, soul searching and fear that crept into Drewe's professional and personal life, lead to some turbulent years in his twenties.  After a 17 year playing career and nearly 600 professional matches representing a host of clubs in the EFL, at 32 Drewe retired from football and found himself divorced, bankrupt, living out of his car and in the midst of an emotional breakdown. He took himself to a sporting rehab clinic and began his healing process towards self acceptance and understanding why his life panned out the way it did.  In this episode we discuss his turbulent twenties decade; talking all things football, the future, addiction, the difference between healthy and unhealthy fear, and uncover  what it is that we're all so afraid of...Our favourite Millennial Minesweeper quote this week was:'The more you complain about your circumstances and situation, the more you'll stay stuck to them. - James Smith' 

Derek chats to former England Under 21 and Sheffield Wednesday defender Ian Knight. Ian's story in the game is a fascinating one, he was one of the most promising defenders in British football when he burst on the scene at Hillsborough until a horrific challenge by Chester City's Gary Bennett more or less curtailed his career. He tells us about that game, the aftermath, how he claimed damages as a result and how he kept positive to continue his time in the game by coaching which he still does over in Canada. We also hear about his time at Barnsley under Norman Hunter and Bobby Collins and dressing room tales from his years at the Owls. Enjoy folks!

The funniest interview we have done by far… This week we are joined by Middlesex wicket keeper batsman John Simpson as we talk through his incredibly quick rise into the first class game, an England Under 19's tour to India at 16, his well rounded upbringing in Lancashire and some of the characters that he encountered on the way. Hear how his rapid rise caused its own problems, and how he overcame them to become one of the finest English multi-format cricketers we are blessed to have.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke and Lynsey Hooper to wave goodbye to the international break and say hello to the return of the Premier League. Werner and Germany have a shocker, losing at home to North Macedonia. But England make it 3 wins out of 3 against Poland. It’s a game that left the panel feeling John Stones is not a natural defender and that Gareth Southgate’s in-game management is mediocre. We get excited about Arsenal v Liverpool this weekend.

In May 2002, Ross Gardner was captaining an England Under-17's side at the European Championships that contained Wayne Rooney. Just over a year later, he was stood in front of a Premier League tribunal after raising a bullying case at Newcastle United that would shape his life from that point forward, and see him leave the professional game just five years later.In the next episode of Taboo on the Terraces, Ryan discusses with Ross how a lack of support given to a young footballer would lead to a gambling addiction, how his struggle with grief lead him down a very dark path in his personal life, and how working with the Sporting Chance Clinic quite literally saved his life. Ross' brutally honest depiction of his life to date is an incredible story.Enjoyed this episode?

The decision to hold the world heavyweight rematch between Anthony Joshua and current world champion, Andy Ruiz, in Saudi Arabia has drawn heavy criticism from human rights groups. Joshua suffered a shock defeat in New York earlier this year and the pair will step inside the ring on the 7th of December, this time in Diriyah, on the outskirts of Riyadh.

Apr 2, 2018 at 12:37pm   Episode: Edward VI's Regency Council   After producing my series on Lady Jane Grey I thought I should step back a bit and look at the beginning of Edward VI's reign. As many of you already know I have an obsession with Thomas Seymour - it is at the time of Edward accession to the throne that things began to sour for Thomas Seymour...where he may have foresaw great favor and wealth, realty brought him much less. Thomas Seymour was not even trusted by King Henry VIII to be on the regency council of his own nephew. This episode will focus on the events that occurred prior to King Henry VIII's death and will end with each of the sixteen men on the council and a bit about them. I would also like to take a minute to apologize for the slaughtering of English place names, surnames and events -- I didn't realize until after the fact that I may have done a bit more research on how to pronounce a few things - my apologies, in advance. -----  Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson Produced by: Rebecca Larson Music Credits:  Suonatore di Liuto Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/  ------------------------------------------------------------ Sources/References: Acts of the Privy Council of England, Volume 2 Craik, George Lillie & Charles MacFarlane.

As one of only 3 men to get Watford promoted to the Premier League, Aidy Boothroyd arrived at Vicarage Road in 2005, with little fanfare and a lot of questions. However, the following season was a whirlwind, which, as we all know, led to promotion in an emphatic win in the 2006 Championship Play Off final against Leeds at the Millennium Stadium. His time at Watford ended, like so many managers, badly in 2008 and in this Catching Up with Jon talks with Aidy at St George’s Park, where he now leads the next generation of young England players, as the Coach of England Under 21.

Army captain turned MP Johnny Mercer, Theatre Director Elizabeth Newman and former footballer Paul Fletcher compare notes on leadership and teamwork - presented by Rana Mitter with an audience at Sage Gateshead. There is no I in Team .. but there's a ME if you look hard enough”, joked David Brent in the BBC sitcom, The Office. But for individuals with a proven track record in leadership, how do you get the best from your group while handling the demands of the individual? Johnny Mercer served three tours of Afghanistan during his military career before retiring from the army to pursue a future in politics. He was elected Conservative MP for Plymouth Moor View in 2015.Elizabeth Newman is the artistic director of the Octagon Theatre in Bolton. Previously she was an associate director at Southwark Playhouse. In 2014, she was awarded the David Fraser/Andrea Wonfor Television Directors' Bursary for experienced theatre directors to work with top UK broadcasters and production companies and has recently completed filming an episode of Doctors for the BBC. In 2017 she was named ‘Bolton's Woman of the Year'. Paul Fletcher played as a striker playing for Bolton Wanderers, Burnley and the England Under 23 team before leg injuries put paid to his playing career. He has been Chief Executive at Huddersfield Town masterminding the building of the Alfred McAlpine Stadium, at Bolton Wanderers when the Reebok Stadium was built, and CEO of Burnley.

Welcome to the 5th CONKERS’ CORNER. In this podcast I have the pleasure of speaking with GORDON WATSON @Flash_37 on Twitter. This year Gordon celebrated his 45th birthday and has enjoyed a varied and successful career. In his childhood he was raised in a Local Authority Children’s Home, where he channeled his energies into his love for playing football. He progressed to playing for England Under 21’s and was also signed for his now beloved football team Southampton Football Club for £1.2 Million (a huge sum in 1995). As a forward/striker Gordon’s goals were often a catalyst for improved performance within the clubs he played for. These included: Charlton Town, Sheffield Wednesday, Southampton, Bradford City City, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Hartlepool United.His goals often led the teams he played for to achieve great success including Wembley appearances and League promotions. After enjoying a successful professional football career which spanned 1989-2003, Gordon retired to take up Football Scouting and Player Analysis. He also took up making shrewd investments in mostly small AIM stocks. His most recent notable successes include 88 Energy & Keras Resources. Through reflection he has attained personal growth and wisdom, helping him avoid the traps befalling many a retired football player. Gordon is one of the smarter ones because he realised what really matters in life. Listen now to gain insights into how Gordon invests and learn from the lessons in his investing journey.

It’s the international break, so to get you through the two-week lull, we caught up with another former Rams favourite. Malcolm Christie joined Derby from non-league Nuneaton in 1998 for just £50,000, going on to score more than 20 Premiership goals and represent England Under-21s. Chris, Richard and Tom spoke to Malcolm about his most memorable Derby moments, including *that* goal at Old Trafford, *that* miss at Old Trafford, and praying before matches with Taribo West. Forced to retire aged just 29, Malcolm also speaks candidly about how his injury nightmare meant he didn’t watch football for three years, the moment he decided to quit the game, and how he’s adjusted since.

Soccer Comic Rant #209 talks England Under 17 World Cup Champions & mufc respectful defeat of Spurs

The Lords of East Africa Newsland in Cape Town, New Road in Worcester, the Queenstown Event centre in New Zealand, three of the prettiest grounds to watch or play cricket but there is a new stadium that could usurp their crown. The Kicukiro Oval in Kigali, maybe one of the newest grounds in world cricket but it’s already one of the grounds with spectacular scenery in sport. History will be made this weekend, when it will host the first competitive game. Rwanda will be taking on an All Star XI including the likes of Michael Vaughan, Brain Lara, Herschelle Gibbs and Sam Billings. Eric Dusingizimana will be leading out Rwanda and he thinks his team will give the All-stars a run for their money. Eric explains in detail how cricket has helped his country heal and move on from the genocide in the 1990's. While Sam says he’s nervous ahead of his knock on the new wicket. Rock bottom but on the up: the WWE and film star who saved a World Cup dream Convicted for assault, multiple knee injuries and sleeping in his car outside the training ground. Junior Vaivai has had an eventful career so far but the American Samoan is about to play in his first Rugby League World Cup. The 27 year old was about to give up his playing career but a thanksgiving trip and a conversation with a family member changed his life. Junior’s cousin is WWE wrestler and highest paid actor in the world, Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson. Dwayne convinced Junior to stick with the sport and his advice paid off, as Junior will line up the Eagles against Fiji on Saturday. A Cookie Monster and a bar of soap tattoo If you’re planning to attend any cycling race in the United States, then you’ll probably come across Phil Gaimon. The ex-professional cyclist has swapped his bike for his a cookie monster hat and offers riders only the best cookies on their ascent. Phil retired in 2014 and by his own admission, wasn't one of the most talented riders in the peloton but what he is proud of is that he did so clean. He even had a bar of soap tattooed on his arm to prove a point. He says doping will continue in the sport. He says cheats shouldn't be invited to take part in any cycling event again. Anyone but England? Anyone but England. A phrase commonly used in bars and clubs across Wales, Scotland and Ireland (maybe the whole world, you never know), when England takes to field or court in any sport. Well, the England Under 17 football team are into the World Cup final against Spain. The match will be taking place in Kolkata. What do the locals think of the team and has this cricket mad nation finally embraced football?

Colin Cooper is something of a Middlesbrough legend.A member of the team that rose from the ashes to win back-to-back promotions in 1987 and 1988 under Bruce Rioch, the 50-year-old is now an England Under-21 coach.He was a Boro player when they were at their lowest ebb – 1986’s liquidation – and when they were at their peak – the 2004 League Cup final in Cardiff.He’s worn the red shirt at a crumbling Ayresome Park and in the modern surroundings of the Riverside Stadium.Cooper has been a reserve and first team coach at Boro and was even, briefly, the caretaker manager when Gareth Southgate was sacked in 2009.So, it’s fair to say there was plenty to talk about when he sat down with Gazette Boro Editor Philip Tallentire to record an exclusive podcast.Cooper is an engaging and honest interviewee so why not hear what he has to say about his career so far and his plans for the future?He talks about leaving Boro in 1991, returning seven years later after successful stints with Millwall and Nottingham Forest.He reveals his pride at winning two England caps and playing against Brazilian legends Ronaldo, Juninho and Edmundo at Wembley.He talks about the pain of relegation in 2009 and his frustrations with Hartlepool during his first spell in management.He even reveals a fondness for North-east band Maximo Park and a friendship with their Boro-supporting lead singer Paul Smith.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Liam West joins me to discuss how young medical professions can break into the competitive sports and exercise medicine world. Dr. Liam West trained at Cardiff Medical School in Wales, United Kingdom and has transitioned into working in Australian Rules Football both at the elite and Academy levels whilst still working in Soccer for Melbourne Victory. He is also working in research at La Trobe University whilst also helping lead their SEM departments Social Media and content creation In this episode, we discuss: -Tools young clinicians use to break into sports and exercise medicine -Tips for introverts preparing for networking events -The key element to master for buy-in with athletes -Why you should seek out communication training to supplement your clinical skill set -And so much more!   Sports and exercise medicine has a lot of traction globally and getting involved in international conferences can lead to many opportunities. Dr. West believes, “You don’t just need a local network, you need an international network.” One of the easiest tools at your disposal to connect with people outside your geographic region is through the use of social media. However, Dr. West warns, “Be very careful on social media,” and always project professionalism.   Gaining access to a niche field like sports medicine requires hard work and self-initiative, Dr. West reminds us that, “People don’t owe you the experience.”   Sports medicine practitioners face the unique dilemma of supporting a team’s success while looking out for the player’s best interest and health. Maintaining professional boundaries is critical to sustaining objectivity and ensuring positive outcomes and Dr. West stresses, “You’re there to work, do not become a fan.”   While experience is valuable, young clinicians will find that athletes care more about your commitment to their success than how long you have been treating patients as Dr. West points out, “Athletes don’t really care how much you know until they know that you care.” Dr. West believes, “Honesty is really powerful with an athlete.”   For more information on Dr. West: Dr. Liam West trained at Cardiff Medical School in Wales, United Kingdom. During his first few years there he also completed a Sports Science Bachelors degree to dip his toes into the alluring water of Sports Medicine. During his undergraduate studies he set up a student society to promote, educate and offers opportunities within SEM to his peers both in medicine but all areas of SEM such as physiotherapy, sports science etc. Through the national acclaimed success of this society he then crated similar societies across the UK before founding an overarching UK student society and later a European wide one. These societies kick started what is now an extremely strong and vibrant junior SEM scene in the UK. In his fourth year of his studies he single handedly ran his own student SEM conference attracting 250 delegates - this introduced him to Karim Kahn and Peter Brukner. A role within BJSM followed and over the years this has developed into being a Senior Associate Editor and a role within education. After his studies finished he completed a Diploma in SEM whilst working full time as a junior doctor. He picked up his clinical work by working in horse riding, the Women's Soccer Premier League and as the England Under 16 Doctor. In 2015 he made the switch to live in Melbourne where he still currently resides. He has transitioned into working in Australian Rules Football both at the elite and Academy levels whilst still working in Soccer for Melbourne Victory. He has left hospital medicine and is working in research at La Trobe University whilst also helping lead their SEM departments Social Media and content creation. He wrote a chapter in the newly released Clinical Sports Medicine (Brukner and Kahn). Away from Academia, after playing soccer all of his life he has now converted this season to playing Australian Rules Football and is slowly learning what a true contact sport feels like.   Resources discussed on this show: Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard Liam West Twitter Journal Articles: BJSM: Inside Track   West, L.
