Topics Discussed: Greg's experience during 2020 and the challenges he faced both personally and professionally.  The lessons that Greg has taken away from 2020.  Greg's realisation that a lot of people are not living a healthy lifestyle, and his aspirations to address these people and help them live in a healthy way. The socio-economic impact of health, and the gender gap in health. The difficulty of changing behaviour, and the psychology required to achieve it. How a bespoke, personalised approach is one of the best ways of instilling a change of behaviour in someone and giving them the confidence to make a change. How we are always looking for shortcuts when there are none.  The importance of setting goals correctly, and focusing on how much time is needed so it is manageable, achievable and aligned with who you are as a person. The redundancy theory; the person who is supporting you should always be looking at the point when they will no longer be supporting you, and how good coaches are always considering this. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, and how intrinsic is more important in the long term. The importance of resilience and surrounding yourself with a good team is integral in achieving anything worthwhile.  How you can cultivate humility, trust and empathy in being a leader. The importance of transparency and trust between higher up management and the employees in order to get good productivity out of your workers. How 2020 has tested businesses a lot, and the ones that responded the best are the ones that we're focusing on welfare and ensuring their workers are doing well rather than setting targets. The difference between absenteeism and presenteeism, and how it is much more important to focus on making your workers present when they are at work, as opposed to getting them to work for longer periods of time. How exercise and maintaining an active environment can increase presenteeism and productivity. Examples of unhealthy working environments and the changes Phil and Greg implemented to make them healthier and more productivity. How 2020 shone a light on mental and physical health, and how we need to be social in order to be fulfilled and happy. How you need to take care of yourself before you take care of other people, otherwise you won't be of any use to anyone. How taking small steps can help you make big changes in your life, and an example of what these changes could be in both a personal and professional setting. The importance of rest and recovery in elite performance, how it's hard to achieve, and how it is those at the top who are the most guilty at working their employees or athletes too hard. Greg's love for open water swimming, the link between it and cold water therapy, and the physical and mental benefits of it. Greg's sporting hero Greg's proudest moment Greg's next big goal Greg's top 3 tips for a healthy lifestyle Greg's non-sporting hero References:Greg Whyte's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/profgregw/?hl=enGreg Whyte's LinkedIn - https://www.youtube.com/user/ProfessorGregWhyteGreg Whyte's Twitter - https://twitter.com/gpwhyteGreg Whyte's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ProfessorGregWhyte/Greg Whyte's Website - https://www.gregwhyte.com/

The government's green light for gyms to reopen ends months of fitness goers being locked out of their usual places of workout.On the eve of the announcement Pure Gym ceo Humphrey Cobbold and Professor Greg Whyte told ITV News Presenter Lucrezia Millarini what gymgoers could expect when they return.With Pure Gym already open abroad, a working template is there for social distancing measures.But how do they work in practice? Will gyms introduce temperature testing? And can we really expect to not touch our faces while sweating on a treadmill?

Former Olympian and Sports Scientist, Professor Greg Whyte, shares his best advice for achieving your endurance challenge and creating a high performing team.

This week’s podcast guest is a genuine inspiration. As a child burns survivor, she has very visible scars on her back. She has encountered a lot of ignorance in other people around this. People who think it is ok to video her without her permission. To educate their kids publicly about burns in her earshot without involving her in the conversation. Telling her she should not be uncovered in public. Being aware of these judgements, it is no wonder that she began to assume that anyone she saw looking at her, people laughing or even just talking near her, were saying unkind things about her. After a long struggle, feeling upset and hiding away, one day her response just changed. It was a definite case of ‘fake it until you make it’ as she certainly didn’t feel confident, letting her sarong drop as she stood, hands on hips, in her swimsuit on the beach. But one act of courage led to another, and soon she was swimming 21 lengths in 21 pools in 21 bikinis, promoting the message that it is ok to be yourself. She has since gone on to challenge what diversity in fashion and body positivity mean. That this isn’t just about plus size models but those with scars and skin conditions as well. Her message to us is that we need to learn to embrace what we have and be our own beautiful selves. The wild swimming community is well known for being non judgemental and accepting. One of the biggest barriers for beginners can just be the act of being seen in public in a swimsuit. For anyone who hasn’t quite reached the nirvana of embracing the body you have, this episode is for you. Things we talk about Vicky’s episode, Great North Swim and Great East Swim ambassador, Love Disfigure, Professor Greg Whyte, Sharron Davies, Bosphorus swim, Changing Faces, Norseman, Victoria’s Secret protest with Nunude, The Real Catwalk, Point of Light award, Anna Wardley

In this episode, we discuss how to achieve the impossible, live outside of your comfort zone and what how to frame your psychology to overcome challenges. 

Our guest for this podcast is Professor Greg Whyte, one of the world’s most respected and renowned Sport & Exercise Scientists. Greg combines his academic position at Liverpool John Moores University with both public & private work around the UK, and is a hugely respected scientist and voice, with expertise in a wide range of domains.

Greg's book "Achieve the Impossible" is exactly what you need to kick start your year the right way. It's a brilliant compendium that seeks to help you set yourself some objectives for the future and then go after them with the type of tenacity that allowed Little Britain comedian David Walliams to swim the English Channel in an amazing 10h30m and to then swim the length of the River Thames (some 140+ miles in 8 days). You can see more about the book here: http://www.achievetheimpossible.co.uk We go into great depth about how to take on these amazing endurance events and look at how 4 "normal" ladies from the UK (all of whom have faced various personal challenges in their life), go from swimming head-up breaststroke to swimming the English Channel in under 14 hours in some terrible conditions.
