I definitely had good support, so I wasn't going to fail. […] I want to give young coaches the kind of experience I had, which was get your feet wet right out the door and experiment yourself so you can really understand how your programs are working.” 3:40 “I think especially to younger coaches, I think that for so long you're thinking, what's the next step to push my career forward? I need to build my network or things like that. I think it's important to think outside of just yourself. I think at some point, you have to take a step back and think, OK, this career is treating me really well, or I'm building all these networks to get me to that next dream job or whatever it might be.” 18:15 “My advice is that you're never too young to get involved, […] get involved in some way on a small level, even if it's just attending your first national conference.

This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, host Richard Graves sits down with former Leeds Rhinos captain Stevie Ward, a man who went from teenage prodigy to Grand Final winner, only to have his career cut short by concussion at just 27. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Stevie opens up about: - What it's really like debuting alongside your childhood heroes - The fear and thrill of running out at Wembley at 18 - The brutal highs and lows of elite performance, injury, and recovery - How fear, when embraced, can unlock peak performance - The emotional toll of early retirement and how he's rebuilding his identity beyond sport But this isn't just a story of sport. It's about leadership, mental health, emotional intelligence, and what it means to be truly vulnerable, in a dressing room, a boardroom, or everyday life. Whether you're an athlete, coach, sports scientist, manager or just someone navigating life's transitions, Stevie's story is packed with insight and inspiration and how to lead with authenticity. About Stevie Ward Stevie is a former professional rugby player and part of the golden generation at the Leeds Rhinos, one of the most successful teams in Super League history. Stevie became the youngest grand final winner ever, going on to win two more Grand Finals and 2 Challenge Cups, and was named captain at just 26. Amongst the highs, Stevie endured ten operations and several mental health struggles. This adversity inspired Stevie to launch Mantality in 2016 to promote mental health for men through counselling, life-coaching services, and a stigma-breaking podcast.

In this episode of the Corn Nation's Monday Night Therapy podcast, host Minnie Hunt interviews Bob Davis, a former strength and conditioning coach with Nebraska during the 1980s under Boyd Epley, the legendary pioneer of Husker Power. Davis shares insights into the foundational role Nebraska's strength and nutrition programs played in the Cornhuskers' dominance, emphasizing how walk-ons and farm kids pushed blue-chip recruits by outworking them. He discusses innovations like performance testing, customized nutrition cards, and year-round training, including offseason programs that prepared players physically and mentally. Davis also reflects on the evolution of training—comparing old-school techniques to today's tech-enhanced systems—and emphasizes fundamentals, balance, proper mechanics, and injury prevention. He highlights the importance of developing athletes' understanding of movement, hydration, and nutrition. Creatine use, the relevance of bench press, and high-tech versus practical basics are all explored. Davis underscores that most injuries result from fatigue and poor mechanics, not contact. He calls for transparency in athletic performance reporting to inspire fans and hold players accountable. Now running “Strength of America” and “Body by Bob's,” he continues to educate athletes of all ages on how to train smart, eat right, and stay healthy for life. The episode closes with calls for community engagement and the hope of returning Nebraska to its physical dominance.
