Lena Gray is a coach on a mission to make a difference in people's lives.
We met for the first time in 2015 when I attended a coach training she presented in South Africa.

To some coaching theory, to how we create emotions and as always this convo is packed with numerous other insights.
Just two quick things I want to remind you of…
First, my Mental Performance Coaching practice is now open to all.

I am so excited to introduce to you my 50th guest on the podcast.
Mike Cooper is a high performance coach who works with the structure of human experience and performance.
In this convo we delve into topics around coaching like I have not yet done with other guests, so I will leave them as a bit of a surprise.
Mike is also the person who 12 years ago introduced me to Meta Coaching, the coaching methodology I use in my capacity as a mental performance coach.
So to me it is also very fitting that Mike is my 50th guest as I step more into being a full time coach of the mental game.
And so I also want to let you know that my Mental Performance Coaching practice is now open.
Visit www.performanceformula.net for more details, to see how I am making mental performance coaching accessible, affordable and available to all.
Last announcement just before we get into this conversation.

It’s really is weird sometimes how we get to meet people…
My guest... James Tranter and I met via a new app called Clubhouse in some random room most probably about sport or performance.
And so naturally I had to get him on... I love his thinking around in general about sport and life…
and so in this convo we explored... just enjoying the sport we play to taking the little steps daily and weekly that makes us enjoy the process.
As well as... some aspects around physical development in sports and most importantly I think James shares candidly around his personal struggles with mental health.

If ever there was a podcast that blew my mind... this conversation with Rhys Thomas is right up there…
As he speaks frankly about his personal struggles with life in the fast lane, to his career as a professional rugby player ending... quite literally... in a heart beat, to all the lessons he learned on the way, that involved addiction, loss of identity and a journey that is jaw dropping.
At the time of this recording he is still waiting for a heart transplant and after rehab he is a more happy human being.

Here is the thing… This convo cannot happen without you…
So when I say ‘thank you for listening in to The Coaching Convo’, I really mean that… I mean if you were not listening in then technically I would be wasting my time. And you make, having and sharing these convo’s all worthwhile.
So as I share these with you, keep passing them on to anyone else that you feel will get value, learning and insights from listening to them too.
Ok…
My guest today is… Min Patel… a Indian born former English Cricketer who played for Kent Cricket… His first class record of 630 wickets at an average of 30 would suggest he could have played more, than just the two test matches he played for England.
Some highlights in this conversation for me was…
- Specialisation in coaching.
- Leading with questions.
- Involving all the stakeholders.
- Addressing the biggest gap.

Well you ask them to come onto your podcast of course.
My guest this week is my new friend Laura-Ann Chong, she is / was all of that and more, of course, as we are always more than just the things we do.
This convo was so interesting as we explore what it is like to fly, the differences between our sporting worlds and where and what a gymnast focuses on during performance, that every athlete is unique, what it is like to be an elite athlete at the age of 11 and so many other topics that I believe will have huge value for you.

I had the privilege of being joined by Kieran Powell who is a cricketer that has played 40 Tests and 46 ODI’s for West Indies.
I love this convo for so many reasons and most probably the most important parts to me is around how modern coaching can at times take away the flair cricketers naturally have at times and how the way you live is the way you play.
Enjoy the uninterrupted convo with Kieran.

Can a cricketer bowl faster? According to my guest, Steffan Jones… they can. Steffan, is a Fast Bowling Development Coach and he is breaking new ground in coaching fast bowlers from all over the world. By combining the science of strength and conditioning along with a deeper understanding of what makes bowlers bowl fast and as he says ‘measuring everything’, he is a breath of fresh air in a world where coaches use overly simple and vague instruction and outdated methods.
