Thank you for listening to this episode from my archives. Stay tuned for a refreshed podcast theme, new guests, and even artwork soon! Send me a DM on Instagram @melissallarena - I would love to hear your thoughts on this "best of episode." Originally from a small rural town in Georgia, Phaidra Knight, for nearly 18 years, traveled the globe as a professional rugby player, establishing herself as one of the premier players in the sport. In this episode, she shared the many unique experiences she had both on and off the field. And she explained how each athletic opportunity offered a new perspective and made her a better athlete. She also shared her passion for youth leadership and reminded us that even if we can impact one child out, that's one person who we have helped shape the trajectory of their life. Every single person deserves equality and the opportunity to feel limitless, especially children.  Phaidra has made three appearances in the Rugby World Cup and was selected as the top player in the world for her position in 2002 and 2006. In 2010, she was named the US Rugby Player of the Decade. Also, in 2010, she became an avid CrossFit competitor and, in 2013, a member of the United States Developmental Bobsled Team. And in November 2017, she was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame.  Phaidra is currently embarking on a new athletic endeavor, perhaps the most ambitious one in her life. She has set out to become a World Champion Mixed Martial Artist by the time she becomes a half centurion. She started training as a mixed martial artist in June of 2019 and has been devoted fulltime to it since. She trains at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York City.  Meanwhile, in 2019, Phaidra founded PeaK Unleashed, a non-profit organization devoted to cultivating youth leadership and development through Rugby with an emphasis on the incarcerated and sexually exploited populations. She is also a keynote and motivational speaker, and TV/Media sports broadcaster. She serves on the USA Rugby Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees for the Women's Sports Foundation. With a passion for fashion and a powerful voice in equality for girls and women in sports, Phaidra will launch the PSK Collective an inclusive apparel line in the fall of 2020. What's more, Phaidra will be making her big-screen debut later this year in the movie “Bruised,” starring and directed by Halle Berry. And later this spring, the Global Sports Institute of Arizona State University will film a documentary featuring Phaidra's life journey. All the while, Phaidra pursued law earlier on in her career at the University of Wisconsin. Phaidra is unstoppable and so inspiring on so many levels! Tune in to hear Phaidra's thoughts pertaining to: How the COVID-19 pandemic makes it clear that we need to obtain perspective and learn how we can do better in the future. (6:00) Phaidra talked about the moment she got the notice that she was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. (7:56) Phaidra answers the question, “Do the reasons to get into sports differ for girls (intrinsic) and boys (extrinsic)?” (9:47) Her journey as a power athlete who got into basketball earned a Hall of Fame title in Rugby, and explored bobsledding. (14:00) The contrasts and similarities carry over across various sports, including foot and hand positioning. (28:19) Training never stops even during a pandemic: Phaidra continues her MMA training and chooses to focus on the things she can control; she points to the folks in the Olympics and how she feels for them, given that in one year some of them won't be competing and fulfilling their dreams. (29:47) Youth leadership and the mission and purpose of PeaK Unleashed. (31:06) Phaidra talks of the influence and push by her family: I know their drive is the reason why I am a Rugby Hall of Famer….I was pushed as a kid...and that's why I am who I am!!! (36:19) Learn how your cooperation can support Phaidra's non-profit, PeaK Unleashed; there are many creative ways to pitch in. Find out how. (45:28) I ask Phaidra: What's your take on the low standards we place on inner-city or small-town kids with few resources?  Listen to hear how Phaidra thinks about the low expectations we put on some children.

I catch up with Jonny after he's just landed on holiday outside of England, just got into his holiday home and he's made time to chat to me after 10 years.  I feel very honored!  (and also why our audio is not the best, sorry!)Jonny lets us in on his thoughts on a lot of topics and what comes through is his passion and convictions for what he believes, which have come from his own experiences on his journey from an 18-year-old kid who started at the Newcastle Falcons and loved throwing the ball around and running around with his mates and loving the game to making his debut for England months later and becoming the deadly accurate kicker that manipulated teams with his pinpoint accuracy and that dropped goals for 3 points with ease like Stephen Curry shoots 3-pointers for the Golden State Warriors.  Yet he lost that love for the game and talks of how he suffered through 6 days of training just to get to game day at the height of his rugby career.We get to talk about our time together at Toulon and how after 3 years of being injured, he again found his love for the game and how he also dealt with those feelings of anxiety and being all-consumed with his perfectionist tendencies that harmed earlier in his career.  he shares how he was able to overcome these and how he now incorporates these learnings into his coaching of the next wave of English talented 10'.He's also taken his experiences and passion in the business he founded, No.1 Living.  Listen to how he has changed his perspective on how he views food and his diet.  How he has used all those experiences to create very successful health and well-being products and businessI took some very deep and powerful learnings from our chat and hope you do too.

In this episode, we take a deep dive with Larkham on:   His days as a player and his transition from 15 to a 10 and his continued dominance in this role The golden era of Australian rugby and how they created a world-class rugby team that believed they could win any game they played and taking home a world cup His time as a coach at Munster and the depth of his key players within his squad and how they’re using momentum as a key part of their attack game How everything can become a competition and why this edge was important for creating a winning culture in Australia’s golden era and how it rubs off as a leader too     This was an incredible episode where you get to see what one of the best players in the world achieved during their playing days and then how this has translated to a world-class coaching career. This is a true bridge between the world of an athlete and a coach. Get a pad, get some notes and start learning on this one.
