Send us a textThis week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with one of the most iconic figures in college hockey history—Coach Jack Parker.Jack's coaching career began in 1968, immediately after captaining Boston University's Terriers. Just a few years later, he stepped behind the bench as head coach, launching a remarkable 40-season journey that would define both his career and the program.Across four decades, Jack led BU to three NCAA titles, 24 NCAA tournament appearances, and 897 wins—the third-highest career total in NCAA history at the time of his retirement in 2013. His loyalty and leadership cemented him as the winningest coach at a single school in NCAA history.He was named NCAA Coach of the Year three times, and in November, he will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder, recognizing his extraordinary impact on the game.In this conversation, we explore what it takes to sustain excellence, the lessons Jack learned along the way, and what legacy truly means when you dedicate your life to a craft.

The High Performance Incentive Program (HPIP) allows qualifying businesses to earn state income tax credits based on their expenditures on employee training and education and on qualifying capital investments. We couldn't report how much HPIP credit businesses earned and used in recent years because of reliability issues with KDOR's HPIP data. We identified inconsistencies in the data that KDOR officials told us they were trying to resolve.The Kansas Affordable Housing Tax Credit (KAHTC) is a state income tax credit that matches the federal low-income housing tax credit. Both credits help subsidize the creation of affordable rental housing. The Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) administers both credits. Since 2023, when the KAHTC was first allowed, KHRC has awarded rental housing development projects about $73 million in KAHTC credits. It may award an additional $34 million in tax credits by the time the KAHTC ends in 2028. At the time of our audit, no taxpayers had used the KAHTC to reduce their income tax liabilities. However, they will likely begin doing so soon. Over the next approximately 15 years, taxpayers' use of KAHTC credit awards may result in the state forgoing about $1 billion in income tax revenues.

This week, host Richard Graves is joined by Ellie Wilson, a professional footballer who has played for Reading, Bristol City, Sheffield United, Wolves, and most recently Melbourne Victory in Australia's A-League Women. Ellie opens up about her journey through elite football, from being rejected by academies as a young player, to representing England U19s, U20s and U23s, battling an ACL injury, and helping Melbourne Victory break club records this season. This is a powerful conversation for anyone working in or around sports science, performance support, and high-performance teams who wants to understand the real challenges athletes face behind the scenes — and how the right environment can shape success. In this episode, you'll learn: How the infrastructure and support systems in women's football are evolving — and where they still need to catch up. The physical and psychological demands on female athletes during adolescence and how clubs can better support them. How Ellie navigated a 13-month ACL rehab and what it taught her about athlete wellbeing and return-to-play planning. Why preparing for life beyond football is vital, and how her sports science degree and S&C studies helped her do that. What it's like to be part of a team that breaks records but misses out on silverware, and how to process that experience. How penalty shootouts are prepared for and the role of psychology in those high-pressure moments. Practical advice for coaches, practitioners, and parents supporting the next generation of female players. About Ellie Wilson Ellie Wilson is a professional footballer currently playing for Melbourne Victory. She has previously played for Reading, Bristol City, Sheffield United, and Wolves, and has represented England at U19, U20 and U23 levels, playing alongside stars like Leah Williamson and Alessia Russo.

His teams consistently competed at the highest level, earning multiple NCAA Tournament appearances, including several Sweet Sixteen runs, and he has been honored with numerous Coach of the Year awards.

Later, at Ohio State, he turned the program into a perennial contender in the Big Ten, widely regarded as the most competitive volleyball conference in the nation. Beyond wins and championships, Geoff is known for his values-based leadership and commitment to athlete well-being.

This episode digs deep into the concept of "task orientation" vs. "ego orientation" and how to shift your mindset for success.Dr. Manning, a performance psychologist, provides a masterclass on building mental resilience, explains the profound impact of fear on human performance, and gives practical advice for overcoming insecurity in both professional and personal contexts.

We all have them—the nagging, unfinished tasks that have been sitting on our list for months, sometimes years. They weigh us down, drain our energy, and quietly whisper that we're falling behind. For me, it was finally starting Invisalign after years of thinking, “I should do something about my teeth.” It's a year-long commitment, but the simple act of beginning has already lifted a huge mental load. In this episode of Tales from The Lane, I challenge you to choose your “one thing” and commit to tackling it this year. We'll explore why unfinished tasks drain our focus (hello, Zeigarnik Effect), how finally starting creates momentum, and why clearing that lingering to-do is often more powerful than adding something new to your plate. If you've been carrying around something you keep saying you'll do “someday,” this is your sign to make someday today.

Club Plans & Personal Coaches: Adding An Edge? In this week's episode, host Richard Graves sits down with Daniel Booth, a performance coach who's worked inside elite teams (Watford FC, Ealing Trailfinders), across Olympic sprint programmes, and independently with top athletes, to unpack one of the hottest debates in high performance: Should athletes stick strictly to club schedules, or can personal trainers/physios/dietitians add an edge without adding risk? Drawing on experience from football, rugby, and Olympic sport, Daniel explains why tensions flare (mismatched philosophies, poor communication, asset ownership), what great collaboration looks like in the real world, and how high-performing organisations formalise outside support without losing control. What you'll learn * The real source of conflict between club performance/medical staff and external coaches, and how cross-sport thinking challenges “that's how we've always done it.” * A practical collaboration model: who shares what, when, and how (weekly data drops, post-match/flight recovery notes, and a single “central coordinator” to integrate inputs). * Risk vs. reward in load management: why living on the “edge” drives adaptation, and how to avoid double-loading athletes after intense sessions. * Contracts done right: how some teams formally write approved externals into player agreements and set clear, shared calendars. * International duty realities: why centralised models in rugby/cricket often outperform football's fragmented approach, and what football can copy now. * Case studies that translate: lessons from LeBron/Mancias and Mahomes/Stroop—how season-long regen blocks and role clarity reduce noise and improve availability. * Social media pitfalls: why chasing a “brand” erodes trust, and how word-of-mouth and discretion still win in elite environments. About Daniel Booth Daniel Booth is a performance coach with 10+ years' experience across elite football (Watford FC), rugby (including Ealing Trailfinders), and Olympic sprint programmes, as well as work with Warner Bros. Discovery. Now operating independently, he partners with clubs and national teams to deliver athlete-centred programming and is formally written into several Premiership rugby player contracts to act as the central performance coordinator, integrating club, country, and external inputs. Daniel's approach blends cross-sport best practice, honest communication, and low-ego, data-led decision-making focused on availability and longevity.

Lucinda examines talent retention and development, building on the previous discussion about attracting talent, and emphasising the importance of creating a high-performance culture that not only draws in great people but also keeps them engaged and motivated. Lucinda explores the evolving definition of talent, highlighting the need for inclusivity and recognising diverse contributions within organisations KEY TAKEAWAYS Talent should not be limited to a select group of high performers or leaders. It encompasses a diverse range of individuals, including specialists, reliable experts, and emerging leaders, highlighting the importance of recognising and harnessing everyone's unique contributions. Organisations often invest heavily in recruitment but neglect onboarding and ongoing development. To retain talent, it's crucial to provide meaningful career opportunities, learning and development options, and a sense of purpose beyond just a pay cheque. The shift to hybrid work has changed how employees engage with their organisations. Companies need to ensure that visibility and performance evaluations are fair and inclusive, avoiding biases that may arise from physical presence in the workplace. Engaging employees in their career development is essential. This involves regular performance conversations that focus on individual aspirations and growth, allowing employees to take an active role in shaping their career paths. BEST MOMENTS "We know that talent is broad. It's about seeking out everybody's talent. Talent is your high-performing specialist... Everyone plays their part." "People want more than a pay cheque. They want purpose, flexibility, growth, and to feel that their career is moving forward." "If you think of a modern talent strategy... it needs to be conscious, intentional, and on their terms as well." "We need to engage the individual in driving their career. People want choice, autonomy, and clarity on how they can grow." "Don't start investing and don't bite off more than you can chew. Start small and then turn those insights into action."

"We can change. We can allow our spirits, our bodies, our souls to embrace change." —Kristen WambachMANNA MASHUP HIGHLIGHTS Change as a Spiritual Journey: Seasons of change, whether difficult or exciting, are opportunities for Christian spiritual growth. They can lead us into the very answers we've been praying for. The Power of Worship: Mary's anointing of Jesus teaches us that worship is an offering that prepares us for what's to come. We can choose to be wrapped in the memory of her offering, allowing it to strengthen us to walk through any season. Observing Strength: The concept that "the observer affects the observed reality" applies to our faith journey. By intentionally observing and focusing on the promises and strengths God has given us, we actively participate in creating our reality. This is a form of practical spirituality that empowers us to live spiritually brave. Dropping the Burden: Just because we are strong, resilient, and able, it doesn't mean we should carry every load. We need to listen to our bodies and the Holy Spirit, asking Jesus what we should carry and what we should set down. God's DNA & Your Future: Imagine yourself on the "staircase of heaven," sitting with God, where you have His undivided attention. This is a place to have authentic spiritual discussions about your life and future. Wisdoms and insights with Daryl Dittmer, Kristen Wambach "The absolute best thing I can do for the world, for my country, my community, my friends, my family, and myself is get my shit together and learn how to be happy, productive, strong-minded, wise, independent, self-reliant, and a problem solver." —Daryl Dittmer

In today's episode, I'm diving into a topic that has changed both my personal life and my performance as a high-achieving woman: self-compassion as a tool for high performance. I used to believe that being relentlessly hard on myself was the only way to succeed. But over time (and through conversations with brilliant minds like Dr. Karin Nordin), I've learned that self-compassion is not weakness. It's not laziness. It's one of the most powerful performance tools you can have in your arsenal. Inside this episode, I break down: Why self-criticism fails long-term and how it sabotages performance. The three psychological components of self-compassion and how to actually use them. The paradox of failure: why avoiding failure keeps you from success. How pairing compassion with accountability accelerates growth. My personal journaling framework that blends honesty, compassion, and radical accountability. If you've ever thought “compassion is soft” or worried it would make you lazy, this episode will challenge everything you've believed about performance. By the end, you'll see why self-compassion is a non-negotiable in your high-performance tool belt.

Mariano Gontchar: Fear-Free Teams—Creating Psychological Safety for High Performance Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Mariano's definition of Scrum Master success has evolved dramatically from his early days of focusing on "deliver on time and budget" to a more sophisticated understanding centered on team independence and psychological safety. Today, he measures success by whether teams can self-manage, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and operate without fear of criticism. This shift represents a fundamental change from output-focused metrics to outcome-focused team health indicators that create sustainable high performance. Self-reflection Question: How has your definition of success evolved in your current role, and what would change if you focused on team independence rather than traditional delivery metrics? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Frustration-Based Retrospective Mariano's retrospective approach focuses on asking team members about their biggest frustrations from the last sprint. This format helps team members realize their frustrations aren't unique and creates psychological safety for sharing challenges. The key is always asking the team to propose solutions themselves rather than imposing fixes, making retrospectives about genuine continuous improvement rather than just complaining sessions.

In this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books, hosts Stephen and Britain Covey begin a powerful two-part conversation with Dr. Craig Manning, author of The Fearless Mind. Part 1 unpacks why knowing who you truly are and unapologetically embracing your strengths is the foundation of consistent high performance.Dr. Manning shares his journey from athlete to performance psychologist, explains why he reframed “high performance” as human performance, and reveals how to build skills around your unique strengths instead of chasing someone else's path. From the science of confidence to stories of elite athletes like Giannis Antetokounmpo scoring 50 points in the NBA Finals, this conversation makes mental performance training both practical and inspiring.The episode also highlights how the same principles apply outside of sports, in business, leadership, and everyday life. Because at its core, high performance isn't about outcomes, it's about identity.If you've ever felt the weight of comparison, pressure from authority figures, or uncertainty about your strengths, this episode offers a new framework to unlock your potential.What We Discuss[00:00] Introduction[01:27] Why Dr. Manning wrote The Fearless Mind and how it began as a personal project[08:18] Giannis Antetokounmpo's “unapologetically ourselves” mindset before scoring 50 in the NBA Finals[11:19] Why comparison leads to insecurity and how to break free from it[22:32] Generational shifts: why Gen Z thinks differently and how collaboration beats hierarchy[30:39] Why trying to be someone you're not sabotages performance[32:05] The power of owning your lane in a collaborative, commitment-based cultureNotable Quotes[00:08:54] “When you know who you are and you trust yourself, you don't care what others think—you just perform.” — Dr. Craig Manning[00:11:37] “Comparison leads to insecurities. Insecurities lead to needing approval. And needing approval destroys confidence.” — Dr. Craig Manning[00:14:42] “The key to success is not being a stereotype. It's being the best version of yourself.” — Dr. Craig Manning[00:22:07] “Your identity is here in the present.

When the agtech is not working in the field, we can be quick to search for answers in the product itself. But sometimes, the solution is not there. That's because it's not a technical problem, but rather a social systems challenge.Kevin Boyle is the Director of Organizational and Workforce Development at the Equitable Food Initiative (EFI). He argues that a key component of the farming and food system is often overlooked; and that's the people who work on the ground. Farm workers can be seen as low-skilled, with little more to offer than the set tasks they perform. However, Kevin is seeking to change this approach, to better recognize the knowledge these workers have, and to create recognizable career paths for them.Kevin also believes that focusing on the workforce will ultimately benefit the development and adoption of agtech. He spent much of his career in telecommunication tech, where he helped integrate the new digital technologies of the 1990s into the system, including the workers.Sarah and Kevin discuss:·  Kevin's unique career background, from growing up on a farm, to working in telecommunications tech, and consulting across Europe and the United States.·  How the perception of farm workers as ‘tools' rather than humans with skills, knowledge, and desires has hindered tech adoption.·  How to better recognize the skills and knowledge of farm workers, to build high performance farming businesses·  How applied university research can be used to test a product in the broader system before it goes to market.Useful links:·  Can robotics solve the farm labor problem?

In this episode of the Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm joined by Janelle Walter, former High Performance client, a senior marketing director, corporate leader, and mom of three, who opens up about what it really looks like to shift from scattered and stretched thin… to grounded and fulfilled. Janelle shares so vulnerably about the turning point that led her to reach out for coaching—when she realized her day-to-day pace wasn't sustainable and she was constantly running on fumes. We talk about the small, intentional shifts that helped her reclaim her energy, get back in the driver's seat of her calendar, and start showing up more fully in both her career and her family life. From setting better boundaries at work, to building in space for strategic thinking (instead of constantly reacting), to redefining what "success" looks like as a mom and a leader—Janelle shares so many gems that will resonate if you've ever felt pulled in a million directions. We also talk about: Letting go of perfectionism and softening into your season How community and coaching helped her get unstuck What it looks like to lead from a place of peace, not pressure The very real case for the 4-day work week

Send us a textBrian Larson's journey from pharmaceutical industry professional to movement specialist, breathwork facilitator, and coach reveals powerful insights about transformation that extends far beyond physical appearance. The conversation opens with Brian's early realization that changing his body could lead to changing his mind, setting him on a path of continuous growth and service to others.Diving deep into movement principles, Brian explains the critical difference between stretching and mobility—the latter being the game-changer for injury prevention and athletic performance. His candid assessment of CrossFit as both "the cure" for many health conditions and "a disease" for those who overtrain offers a balanced perspective rarely heard in fitness circles. The practical advice for newcomers to train three days weekly and properly scale workouts provides a sustainable approach to intense training.Nutrition simplicity shines through as Brian emphasizes protein as the foundation (0.7-1g per pound of bodyweight) while advocating for gradual, sustainable changes rather than restrictive diets. "You cannot out-train a bad diet" serves as a powerful reminder that nutrition fundamentals trump exercise intensity for long-term results.Perhaps most fascinating is the transformation of both host and guest from breathwork skeptics to passionate advocates. Brian expertly explains how controlled breathing creates hormetic stress that trains your nervous system to handle external stressors, improves sleep, enhances recovery, and even helps process trauma. This science-backed approach to breathwork strips away the "hippy dippy" stigma, positioning it as an essential tool for high performers.The distinction between high achievers who sacrifice health and relationships versus high performers who excel across all domains captures the essence of the Do Hard Things philosophy. As Brian puts it: "I want so many people to step into this space and grow and accelerate their life forward."Ready to transform your approach to fitness, stress management, and performance?

In today's episode of Barbell Shrugged Dan Garner dives into how you can start to analyze your yearly bloodwork for performance. Standard blood tests can be ordered around the globe, in every country, and are the gold standard for understanding basic health.

In this episode you will learn: What's the mindset/philosophy of looking at bloodwork for performance if it's classically a health screen? Generally speaking, energy is what every performer needs regardless of their pursuit. How can one look at bloodwork to improve their energy levels?

In an enlightening and intense discussion, I sat down with James Laughlin, a globally recognised high-performance coach and a seven-time world champion musician. Through our conversation, we explored the essence of peak performance, personal belief systems, and the integral role of habits in fostering success. James offered valuable insights into his journey and the mental and physical frameworks that cultivate true high performance. What You'll Learn: The Foundation of High Performance: Understand James's perspective on how true peak performance is about exceeding norms while maintaining healthy relationships and well-being—not just relentlessly pursuing success at the cost of everything else. Radical Clarity: Learn why getting radically clear on your wants and needs is crucial in defining your path and avoiding distractions influenced by external pressures. Belief Systems and Their Impact: Discover how intrinsic and extrinsic motivations shape our drive and affect our outcomes, and why fostering strong, empowering beliefs is key. The Role of 'Meds' in Performance: James introduces the 'Meds' concept—mental training, exercise, diet, and sleep—as a holistic approach to supporting high performance and general well-being. The Pitfalls of Traditional Education: We discuss how conventional educational systems may not always support creative or high-performing individuals, emphasising the role parents play in filling the gap. The Dangers of Quick Fixes: James explains why there are no shortcuts to peak performance and how high achievers cultivate success through habits, not hustle or luck. Influencing Neurotransmitters Holistically: Explore how habits like meditation, cold therapy, and exercise naturally enhance motivation by regulating neurotransmitters. Motivation and Success: Understand why purpose, mastery, and autonomy, as identified by Daniel Pink, are vital to sustaining motivation and achieving long-term success.

Intrinsic motivation carries greater longevity: Unlike rewards and recognition, personal fulfillment and passion drive deeper and more enduring engagement. Education needs flexibility: Traditional systems may stifle creative potential; external support can nurture expansive thinking. Slow and steady builds mastery: The discipline of practice, as highlighted through deliberate learning, is vital for true accomplishment.
