Another massive episode this week that has Sean and Mark talking to Sports Psychologist Dr. Chris Shambrook of Planet K2. Chris has worked with Team GB's rowing team, as well as British cricket teams and the Cambridge Boat Race crew. It's an episode chock full of ideas and takeaways on how to get a team working at peak performance consistently. In the episode they cover visualising successful performance not just successful outcomes, what acceptable failure and unacceptable success looks like. They also talk about shorting the gap between your best day and your worst, how positive attitude is only useful if it leads to positive actions and why party food (and Coco the Clown) have no place in the meeting room. Dr. Chris references a few books in the episode:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C3ZT28C/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 (9 Lies About Work - Marcus Buckingham / Ashley Goodall) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_to_Great (Good To Great - Jim Collins) As well as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman%27s_stages_of_group_development (Tuckman's Model of Team Development ) Sean also recommends Dr. Chris' appearance on Dan Abrahams' https://thesportpsychshow.libsyn.com/126-frances-houghton-mbe-dr-chris-shambrook-learnings-from-five-olympic-games (The Sports Psych Show) You can https://www.theperformanceroom.co.uk/ (access the Performance Room resources here) and find out more about https://www.planetk2.com/ (Planet K2 here).

A refreshed and invigorated Sean and Mark return form their Summer break and dive straight in with creativity consultant, enterprise and innovation adviser and audio producer Hywel Evans. In the episode they cover the myth of the uncreative person, how organisations kill ideas and where they go today and, in a sideways move, why it can be valuable to pretend you are a penguin. They also discuss making creativity a collaborative process, why you are better off paying for a bar tab than that expensive team-building away day and what to do when your ideas are met with a big fat no. Plus lots more. In the episode they Hywel references https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity (Sir Ken Robinson's TED Talk), the documentary https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13302848/ (Inside Pixar) and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2MaADRnh8_k (the opening sequence of La La Land).

We're back, and in this weeks episode Sean and Mark talk to Danny Thomson, Director of Sport at a top independent school in the North West of the UK about the importance of getting the right people in the right places, coaching across the language barrier and how culture comes from the entire community around a team.

He also lays down his three essential elements to leadership, and what it's like when you're the coach's kid.

Sean mentions https://www.caspertk.com/ (The Power of Ritual by Casper Ter Kuile)  and his episode of the Eat Sleep Work Repeat podcast is https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/community-3-how-our-rituals-can-forge-our-culture/id1190000968?i=1000494407221 (here).

Welcome, new listeners! Mark and Sean return to their chat with football coach Dominic Walsh about his experiences across all levels of football from grassroots up to an elite academy.  They discuss the importance of being authentic as a coach and how behaviour rather than values truly shows who you are as a leader or member of a team.  An anecdote about building resilience in young academy players is a real treat, with Dom being chased around by an old PE teacher a close second.

This episode was our most popular early episode, so worth checking out again.

Sean and Mark mention the Evelina children's hospital.  Check out their work https://www.evelinalondon.nhs.uk/Home.aspx (here) and the fundraiser https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/spg2020 (here).

Sean and Mark sit down to chat with back-to-back A-League champions Sydney FC's CEO (and Sean's old boss) Danny Townsend. Danny talks the boys through what it takes to build a business from 2 staff to 2000, and what lessons he has taken from that experience into running an A-League Football Club. Along the way they talk about the importance of showing up, backing your people to do things their way, and the benefits of doing what your mother tells you!

Danny also shares the importance of celebrating your successes, running a club-first organisation, and being transparent with your fans. He even throws in a bit of Sean Gallagher teasing for good measure.

Sydney FC can be found on the internet https://www.sydneyfc.com/ (here), and on social media https://www.bt.com/sport/football/a-league (here) (https://twitter.com/SydneyFC (Twitter) / https://www.instagram.com/sydneyfootballclub/ (Instagram) / https://www.facebook.com/SydneyFootballClub (Facebook) / Youtube).

Mark and Sean kick off their conversations about teams by talking about moving your entire team online, with Microsoft Teams, ask whether Bill Belichick can win without Tom Brady (and vice versa) and whether teachers would teach differently if there was a league table in the school.
