Podcasts about high performance sport new zealand

This week we're joined by former Tall Fern legend Jody Cameron Jody competed at the Athens games with the Black Ferns in 2004 and now co-owns the all-female-owned basketball team the Northern Kahu. She also leads High Performance Sport New Zealand's initiative to help women pursue a career in high performance coaching.

In this episode, I sit down with Raelene Castle, a trailblazer in sports management as the first female CEO of Netball New Zealand and now the CEO of Sport New Zealand and High Performance Sport New Zealand. We discuss her trajectory in the corporate and sporting worlds, her upbringing in a sport-centric family, and the importance for her of finding confidence through activity. Raelene shares her insights on the challenges women in leadership face - including the (elusive) balance of personal and professional life. She is not afraid to talk about the losses and well as the wins - as we delve into managing alopecia in a public role, responding to life not going to plan, and the profound significance of family connections. Our conversation touches upon mentorship, reverse-mentorship, inclusivity, and explores how young people can assert their voices and ambitions in today's world. Raelene is nothing short of inspiring, and I truly loved talking with her. I'm also joined by Tracy Hemingway (aka Debt Free Diva) thanks to Generate for a sponsored chat about how KiwiSaver can be an absolute game changer.

On this week's podcast I speak to Stafford Murray Stafford is the former Head of Performance Analysis at the English Institute of Sport, Director of Innovation at High Performance Sport New Zealand and now Head of Analysis at England and Wales Cricket Board. Stafford is a true pioneer in the world of performance analysis and innovation, having been at the forefront of evolving the discipline from match analysis and notation analysis to carving out the discipline of performance analysis. He has successfully stayed at the cutting edge by not only using data and analytical techniques to gain insight and blend with innovation and now embracing data science teams, artificial intelligence and machine learning. What you'll hear in this conversation is a heady mix of how world-class practitioner and leader is able to keep difficult concepts simple, balance the hardcore elements of mathematics but ground them in reality and someone who is able to balance the IQ elements with EQ - keeping the coach and the performer at the heart of everything he does.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Steve Tew.These days Steve is a director with High Performance Sport New Zealand, but he's best known for being the CEO of New Zealand Rugby from 2008-2019.He was the boss when New Zealand held all four World Cups (men's, women's and two sevens), he guided the code through the Respect and Responsibility Review, inked critical sponsorship deals with Adidas and AIG, as well as a 5-year broadcast deal. In short, his administrative legacy in rugby in NZ may be unmatched. In this episode we talk about his relationship with Steve Hansen and that time they discovered Richie McCaw, court-sessions in the 90s and how he connected with players, observations of the Professor Wayne Smith, lessons in leadership and all the best stories in between. Steve has been very careful to stay away from commenting on rugby since leaving his pressure post and has refused all interviews on or off record when issues have arisen. His view is that ex-CEOs are just that, ex, and should not be heard, so we didn't touch on today's current hot-potato issues like the NZR governance spat or the future shape of professional rugby competitions.But this was a cracking chat, and an exclusive insight into the makings of one of NZ sport's best leaders.Steve is ultra Kiwi-authentic, whip-smart and as comfortable in the All Blacks dressing room as he was in World Rugby's board.You'll love this one. We're also super stoked to tell you about the business we've built. If you'd like to hire one of our incredible guests to speak at or MC your event, check out our epic lineup at B2Bspeakers.co.nz and get in touch.And finally, we're delighted to announce the TAB as the shows new major sponsor.

Jack Moody, Professional Triathlete, is hosting the podcast with Bevan this week. We catch up on the racing from the weekend plus we talk about the “sellout” for the pros at the upcoming IRONMAN 70.3 Oceanside race – will this be a nightmare to officiate? We share Sam Long's review of his race at the T100 in Miami and ask do pro athletes have their feet in both camps, despite having contracts with the PTO? We catch up with Graham Brewster, winner of the free race entry to IRONMAN Cairns. Bevan chats to Justin Ralph of Velo Performance – an organisation set up to help people across the spectrum optimise their on-bike position specifically related to their own cycling goals.  Justin Ralph has spent a significant amount of time working with cyclists. In 2017 he transferred to High Performance Sport New Zealand and worked with Cycling New Zealand as a performance physiotherapist and bike fitter. Justin has been to the London and Rio Paralympics, the Tokyo Olympics as well as the 2018 Commonwealth Games and multiple World Championships and World Cups.  Justin's journey from physiotherapy to the niche world of bike fitting and aero testing reveals a unique perspective on cycling performance. He shares his experience in working with a diverse range of cyclists—from everyday enthusiasts to para-athletes and national track teams—and how he tailors bike fittings to enhance both comfort and speed. We discuss the intricate process of adapting bikes for athletes with disabilities and the evolution of aero testing from wind tunnels to real-time track assessments. Justin provides invaluable insights for cyclists aiming to push their limits.

This week's podcast guest is Angus Ross. Angus is a former Winter Olympian employed by High Performance Sport New Zealand. He works with track and field and several other Olympic sports, including sprint cycling, skeleton, squash, rowing, tennis, and more. Angus has a PhD in exercise physiology from the University of Queensland and has been a multi-time guest on the podcast. He is an absolute wealth of knowledge on all things speed, power, and human performance. There is a lot that the world of sport can learn from track and field, but perhaps the most valuable lessons can be gained by studying the decathlon and heptathlon events. Most sports performance programs will jump, sprint, and throw, but the focused, competitive aspects of those events bring out the highest level of expression for pure outputs, along with the speed-endurance aspects. In today's podcast, Angus discusses the relationship between the multi-events and the needs of team sports, including the dynamics of creating scoring tables in a performance program and the connective tissue development multi-event training brings about. He discusses the relationship between speedbag training and sprinting. He also gets into isometrics and elasticity, as well as plenty of case studies and examples of putting these principles into action. I always have fantastic conversations with Angus; this talk was no exception. Today's episode is brought to you by Lost Empire Herbs, TeamBuildr and the Plyomat.

Angus Ross Main Points 3:00- Comparing “Rotational” and “Linear” Events in Track and Field 11:20- Loaded Mobility for Athletic Performance Enhancement 18:24- Enhancing Connective Tissue Quality Through Loaded Stretching 31:45- Heptathlon Training Impact on High Jump Success 35:28- Rotational Movements in Multiplanar Athletic Training 43:03- Elasticity's Role in Athletic Performance 46:26- The Role of Elasticity in Athletic Performance 54:53- Enhanced Athletic Performance through Speedball Training 58:19- Spinal Engine's Role in Speed Enhancement 1:06:03- Enhanced Performance Through Muscle Control Adaptations 1:09:23- The Role of Long Isometrics and the Nervous System 1:11:49- Enhancing Physical Strength Through Structured Workouts Angus Ross Quotes "I just think it's interesting how these different qualities degrade at different rates. And in terms of trying to maintain your athleticism, probably that elasticity, ability to bounce is probably something that we should be thinking about." - Angus Ross" “I talked at a high jump mini conference we had in New Zealand a little while ago. Made the analogy that it's really interesting, too, that the high jump + heptathlon is a really good combination. There's a lot of world class heptathlon athletes (who are really good at high jump). "With the decathlon. I kind of have this idea in my head, like the decathlon principle, in the sense of what could be applied for any event. Like almost this catalog of same but different skills to be good at if you want to be good at one thing." - Joel Smith" “But in contrast, volume of work probably is really good for your connective tissue and your fascial stuff and your tendons. And so perhaps the multi event is. And this is one of the things I was writing a couple of notes when you had some of those ideas to talk about. It's fascinating to me that we have now, we've got decathletes on the scene that can run 10...

High Performance Sport New Zealand is appealing an Employment Relations Authority decision which would grant athletes collective bargaining power. Sports reporter Jonty Dine speaks to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6347234925112

A legal rematch is pending between High Performance Sport New Zealand and some of it top athletes. The agency is appealing an Employment Relations Authority decision requiring it to collectively bargain with the group of about 60 elite cyclists and rowers, known as the Athletes Co-operative. The Coperative, co-chaired by Olympic great Mahe Drysdale, took its case to the Authority after High Performance Sport rejected attempts to hash out a collective agreement. It says it doesnt employ athletes. High Performance Sport is appealing after seeking a second legal opinion and because of concerns the initial ruling has wider implications. Mahe Drysdale from the Athletes Co-operative speaks to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6347236709112

A significant win for some of the country's top sportspeople, after the Employment Relations Authority ruled they have the right to engage in good-faith collective bargaining with High Performance Sport New Zealand. The Athletes' Cooperative, which represents 60 rowers and cyclists, are pursuing better pay and treatment. High Performance Sport, a government agency, said in response it is surprised and concerned by the ruling. Sports commentator Mark Watson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The country's top rowers and cyclists have scored a significant win over government agency High Performance Sport New Zealand in their bid for better treatment and fairer pay. The Employment Relations Authority has ruled in favour of the Athletes' Cooperative, representing a group of 60 rowers and cyclists, saying they have the right to engage in good-faith collective bargaining with High Performance Sport. Former rowing great Mahe Drysdale says their existing contracts treat athletes as second-class citizens. He says they have little say over their programmes and the top athletes can only earn up to $70,000 a year. New Zealand Athletes Federation boss Rob Nichol spoke to Corin Dann.

Today, we are joined by Paul Laursen. Paul B. Laursen, PhD, earned his doctorate in exercise physiology from the University of Queensland.

Olympic sports are being told to seek alternative sources of funding or face reducing their Games preparation. Last year High Performance Sport New Zealand made a $131 million three-year investment in 46 sports in the funding cycle which aligns with next year's Paris Olympic Games. It was the first time high performance money had been guaranteed to a sport for a period longer than a year. Now its chief executive Raelene Castle says sports need to maximise their revenue with corporate partnerships if they are to maintain their current level of competition.  

High Performance Sport New Zealand is calling for a top-up from corporate funding. For Olympic sports to maintain their current level of competition, HPSNZ's chief executive suggests the country's top sports seek sponsorship from the business world to 'maximise the revenue'. Former Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale says most of New Zealand's biggest sports have corporate partners already, but it can be a tough market. "They're all fighting for funding, and that's behind rugby, cricket, netball. So it's a pretty crowded space." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mahe is leading The Athletes Co-operative who are bringing an employment case against High Performance Sport New Zealand. He discusses the issues around giving athletes a voice in elite sport. Show notes Our goals are to balance the power out. We want input to athlete welfare and to be respected and valued. When you see wasteful decisions, you can't effect changes and that's frustrating. Athletes are not employed - their grant is conditional on signing a contrat where athletes give up many rights. Rugby players in New Zealand are employees but cricketers are independent contractors. In the Olympic sports we are one of the first to seek this. FISA consults athletes as it affects fairness in racing. That should be an athlete decision not just a "voice" without decision making ability. Our legal case is a public hearing on 9th February 2023 in Wellington, New Zealand.

A group of top athletes is taking an employment case against High Performance Sport - why?

Its lodged a case against High Performance Sport New Zealand with the Employment Relations Authority. Chloe Luscombe an employment lawyer at Dundas Street and spoke to Corin Dann.

Greater focus on athlete welfare should mean more success on the international sporting stage. That's the hope from High Performance Sport New Zealand boss Raelene Castle. In May, an investigation following the suspected suicide of Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore suggested cycling's high performance model was broken and needed a complete overhaul. In response High Performance Sport NZ has unveiled a 10-point action plan for cycling and the wider high performance sports community. Sports editor Stephen Hewson reports.

Champion Olympic rower Eric Murray backs an action plan aimed at improving the mental health and wellbeing of high-performance athletes. The plan released yesterday by Cycling New Zealand and High Performance Sport New Zealand, promises greater transparency about key processes. The report made more than 90 recommendations, including various wellbeing initiatives, and the appointment of a Women's Health Lead. It follows the death last year of cyclist Olivia Podmore, who was a close friend of Murray's. Murray spoke to Corin Dann.

Cycling New Zealand and High Performance Sport New Zealand are apologising for "unresolved trauma" and vowing to do better after the release of another damning report into cycling's high performance culture. 104 pages of findings and recommendations have been released in a scathing report - commissioned by the two organisations after the suspected suicide of Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore nine months ago. The report comes in the wake of a separate review into cycling in 2018 - which discovered similar issues relating to athlete welfare and wellbeing. Clay Wilson reports.

Cycling New Zealand chairperson Phil Holden wants athletes traumatised by its high performance programme to come forward. This follows the latest investigation which has found the organisation failed to act on recommendations from a review four years ago that warned the programme had a culture of bullying and poor behaviour. The report was commissioned by Cycling New Zealand and High Performance Sport New Zealand after the suspected suicide of cyclist Olivia Podmore last year. Holden spoke to Susie Ferguson.
