3 podcasts for the price of 1

Here are the last 3 episodes of The Talent Equation Podcast for you in case you missed them

The first one is a conversation between myself and Nick Levett talking about our coaching journeys and reflecting on how bad we were in the early days...(apologies for the sound quality on this but it is worth persevering with.

The second one is a conversation with England U16 Hockey Coach, Marc Bourhill. Mark explains the transformation and 'rebirth he has gone through since finding the constraints led approach to coaching.

The third one is a really entertaining discussion with Dr Richard Bailey who lambasts the coach education community for educating coaches in things that have no scientific basis. His research showed that coaches are still using coaching methodologies that are no better than snake oil!

Enjoy!

Podcast - Episode 5 - How to use flow to develop talent - Kendal McWade - Part 1

In this 2 part episode, I talk to a genuine master practitioner, Kendal McWade. Kendal is a golf coach who works with some of the most able young players in England as a regional coach for England Golf. Kendal founded 'Instinctive Golf' several years ago after searching for answers to his own golf improvement misery and a desire to try and find another way.

His methods and his approach are truly captivating and this episode was a genuine eye opener for me.

In the episode we cover...

- How becoming a different approach that was not standard instruction nearly ruined him

- Why throwing golf clubs is a good way to get better

- Who is Kendal's mentor and the things you can learn from him - The difference between 'technique out' versus 'environment in' coaching approaches - How a focus on performance can get in the way of developing skill. - How to help athletes to reach a flow state while in training.

Podcast Episode 4 - The war on drills - 'Peace Talks'

I this episode I respond to some of the criticism I received from some quarters of the academic community for my recent podcast episode 'The War on Drills'. In the podcast I explain the rationale behind this stance and challenge several of the accusations that have been levelled at me since posting it.

I make reference to the 'funnel of variability' again in this podcast and a number of you have contacted me to find out more about this. I will be running a webinar on this on Friday 29th April.
