Jon Norfolk is head of coaching at one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic programmes, British Cycling. Jon is another of our guests that has experienced competing and coaching in different cultures and environments. Having worked previously with the Australian Track Cycling Team and been head coach of the hugely successful GB Paralympic cycling programme, he was also both an International cyclist in his own right and also cycled as a tandem partner including setting a world record in the kilo at the 2008 Paralympic World Cup. We chatted about coaching the athlete In front of you and not the programme, individualisation and performance planning, the importance of having plenty of tools available to you as a coach as well as how he measures and monitors performance. He’s really easy to chat to and a very humble guy and I start with asking what excites him.Show Notes: British Cycling - https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/Australian Track Cycling Team - https://www.auscycling.org.au/Jason Queally - https://www.teamgb.com/athlete/jason-queally/69LWPBVXJblHRlPC4Y5b8FChris Hoy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_HoyCraig MacLean - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_MacLeanRio Paralympics - https://www.paralympic.org/rio-2016Marginal Gains - https://jamesclear.com/marginal-gainsMore About Jon Norfolk:Twitter - https://twitter.com/robbieelliott3?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbie-elliott-6971383b/Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_ElliottListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This week its part 2 of my chat with former footballer Robbie Elliott. Robbie spent two decades as a professional footballer, playing over 140 times for Newcastle United and over 250 appearances in total. Last week we chatted about his own playing career and some of the iconic managers he worked under including Ossie Ardilles, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalgleish, Sam Allardyce and Sir Bobby Robson. This week we focus on his career post playing from his role at Newcastle in the sports science department to moving to the US to join the Nike research lab and the other performance work he’s been involved since his retirement. It’s a fascinating and insightful journey.Show Notes: Mark Hulse - https://www.nufcblog.com/2009/06/27/coaches-hulse-and-elliott-leave-newcastle-for-liverpool/Nike Portland Headquarters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pqsUfK2N1oNike European Headquarters - https://jobs.nike.com/ehqNike’s Innovation Kitchen - https://www.freshnessmag.com/2016/09/20/wired-magazine-nike-innovation-kitchen/England Rugby Sevens - https://www.englandrugby.com/england/sevens-men#indexSeb Coe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_CoeLeBron James - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeBron_JamesTiger Woods - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_WoodsLA Sports Teams - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_in_Los_AngelesRed Bull Facility - https://www.si.com/edge/2015/05/08/sweat-mecca-red-bull-high-performance-centerMalcolm Gladwell Books - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Malcolm-Gladwell/e/B000APOE98?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1653303486&sr=8-2The Checklist Manifesto Book by Atul Gawande - https://amzn.to/3G7Jk3m Maradona Documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuErPYsoaR4Living With The Lions Documentary - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Living-Lions-Sir-Ian-McGeechan/dp/B0733RMVQ7One Night In Turin Documentary - https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Night-Turin-Gary-Oldman/dp/B07N126MYGESPN 30 For 30 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_for_30More About Robbie Elliott:Twitter - https://twitter.com/robbieelliott3?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbie-elliott-6971383b/Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_ElliottListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

After last weeks chat with Darius Charles, we stay on the football theme with another ex Professional footballer, Robbie Elliott. Robbie had almost two decades as a professional footballer, playing over 140 times for his beloved Newcastle United and over 250 appearances in total, which also included spells at Sunderland, Leeds, Hartlepool and an eventful four years at Bolton Wanderers. Over his career, he’ worked under some iconic managers including Ossie Ardiles, Kevin Keegan, Kenny Dalglish, Sam Allardyce and Sir Bobby Robson and we chat about all of those managers and the twists and turns Robbie had across his career and his learning from that. I met Robbie first when he was working for the Nike research lab and he’s forged a career in sports technology, innovation and performance since his retirement. All of that we will chat about in part two next week, but as we sat outside the bustling Westfield shopping centre in West London, we started with Robbie’s time in the Newcastle academy and how that compares to the modern-day set-up.Show Notes: Southampton Football Club - https://www.southamptonfc.com/Alan Shearer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_ShearerGateshead Stadium - https://www.gogateshead.com/article/5829/Gateshead-International-StadiumNewcastle Football Club - https://www.nufc.co.uk/Ossie Ardiles - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osvaldo_ArdilesYTS - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_Training_SchemeAlan Thompson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Thompson_(footballer,_born_1973)Lee Clark - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Clark_(footballer)Steve Watson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_WatsonJim Smith - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Smith_(footballer,_born_1940)Middlesborough Football Club - https://www.mfc.co.uk/Bobby Saxton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_SaxtonRoy Aitken - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_AitkenJohn Burridge - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_BurridgeACL Injury - https://mayocl.in/3MuoxcMLilleshall - https://www.lilleshallnsc.co.uk/nsc/ Kevin Keegan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_KeeganNewcastle promotion against Grimsby - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNk_W6CFJKwRob Lee - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_LeeJohn Beresford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Beresford_(footballer)Les Ferdinand - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_FerdinandDavid Ginola - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_GinolaBrian Kilcline - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_KilclineKevin Sheedy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Sheedy_(Irish_footballer)David Kelly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kelly_(association_footballer)Steve Howey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Howey_(footballer)Faustino Asprilla - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faustino_AsprillaBarry Venison - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_VenisonPeter Beardsley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_BeardsleyDavid Batty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_BattyZone Of Optional Function - https://bit.ly/3Nk3YzDKenny Dalglish - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_DalglishAlex Ferguson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_FergusonPLC - https://bit.ly/3wuJKMUBolton Wanderers Football Club - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolton_Wanderers_F.C.Steve Black - https://bit.ly/38woNJmEarl Barrett - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_BarrettMichael Appleton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_AppletonColin Todd - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_ToddSam Allardyce - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_AllardyceCharlie Brown - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_BrownMLS - https://www.mlssoccer.com/Arsene Wenger - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ars%C3%A8ne_WengerSir Bobby Robson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_RobsonFreddie Shepherd - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddy_ShepherdNorthumbria University - https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/Bike for Bobby - https://bit.ly/3wlhNYZ=More About Robbie Elliott:Twitter - https://twitter.com/robbieelliott3?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbie-elliott-6971383b/Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_ElliottListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This week I’m delighted to bring you a chat with someone who grabs life by both hands, former footballer Darius Charles.Darius retired from professional footballer just a matter of weeks ago after playing professionally for sixteen years for the likes of Wycombe Wanderers, Brentford and most recently, AFC Wimbledon.We talk about how he feels about that and also the journey football has taken him on personally. His mum had him when she was sixteen years old and Darius has had plenty of obstacles over his life that he has managed to overcome and use as the energy he brings to everyone he meets. We had this conversation in a recording studio close to where Darius spent a large part of his childhood, in Hanwell, West London. Darius is currently being followed by a documentary crew and our conversation in the studio will be part of a programme called ’Sidelines’, which will be out later in the year.I got to know Darius about a year ago and since then I’ve always enjoyed and looked forward to every conversation we have ever had. As he says himself, he’s a very fiery character and I think by the end of this conversation you will see how he is using that desire in a positive way, a passion that will change lives. We talk about role models, creating opportunities and being self-sufficient, the fear of your career always being one manager’s decision away from ending as well as dealing with being loaned out and Injured. But we start with that difficult decision to hang up his boots.Show Notes: Brentford Football Club - https://www.brentfordfc.com/Helen Keller - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_KellerScott Fitzgerald - https://bit.ly/3ysK4y0Thurrock Football Club - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thurrock_F.C.Nathan Broome - https://bit.ly/3wlzQggGareth Ainsworth - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_AinsworthGraham Westley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_WestleySocial Identity Theory - https://www.britannica.com/topic/social-identity-theoryPaulo Coelho book ’The Alchemist’ - https://amzn.to/3vYJcj1Don Miguel Ruiz book ’The Four Agreements’ - https://amzn.to/3yu8KXeThe Last Dance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQk2hJs2ToAMichael Jordan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_JordanBill Cartwright - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_CartwrightChicago Bulls - https://www.nba.com/bulls/Steve Kerr - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_KerrPhil Jackson’s book ‘Eleven Rings’ - https://amzn.to/3yrOFk4Jay Shetty’s Podcast - https://apple.co/3yrOQMgJake Humphrey's High Performance Podcast - https://apple.co/3whdZ9YSteven Bartlett’s Podcast - https://apple.co/3l0BdMhErwin Valencia’s Podcast Episode - https://apple.co/38gxqaIMaya Angelou - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_AngelouKendrick Lamar - https://www.kendricklamar.com/More About Darius Charles:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/everybody_lovesd/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/dariuscharles00LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3L0qKeqWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_CharlesListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen On Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This is the second part of the conversation I had with Leinster Rugby senior coach, Stuart Lancaster who has held senior leadership positions at many levels of the game including being the former England Rugby head coach. In part one we chatted about the foundations of culture, putting teams together and knowing your own personal strengths and weaknesses.  In this episode we jump around a bit again and touch on subjects like managing time and energy, continual learning and the art of teaching, but to kick things of I asked him what traits best describe him as a coach.Show Notes: Kevin Bowring - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Bowring Brian Ashton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Ashton_(rugby_union)Bill Beswick - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_BeswickRod MacQueen’s Autobiography - https://amzn.to/3vsMElQAustralian RWC Team - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_national_rugby_union_teamNewbury Rugby - https://www.newburyrugby.co.uk/teams/42243Joe Marchant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Marchant_(rugby_union)Sarah Milne Rowe book 'SHED - https://amzn.to/3OHYQXwWarren Gatland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_GatlandOwen Eastwood - ‘Belonging’ - https://amzn.to/3k796dOOwen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216?i=1000529539010Leaders In Sport - https://leadersinsport.com/South African Cricket Team - https://bit.ly/3s0HECSSophie Goldschmidt - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_GoldschmidtMichael Ala’Alatoa - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/player?PlayGuid=MA209308Scott Robertson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Robertson_(rugby_union)Doug Lemov - https://my.chartered.college/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1.-Cold-Calling.pdfDoug Lemoff book ‘A Coaches Guide To Teaching’ - https://amzn.to/38zBUZULeeds Carneigie - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_CarnegieJohn Wooden - 'Wooden On Leadership’ - https://amzn.to/3vHutHZRic Charlesworth - 'World’s Best’ - https://amzn.to/3K76tDmBill Walsh - ’The Score Takes Care Of Itself’ - https://amzn.to/3vDNcV2Jim Collins book ‘Good To Great’ - https://amzn.to/3kqvGOKKevin Murray’s books - https://amzn.to/3krJjNwJohn C.

Todays show is the first part of another brilliant conversation, this time with rugby coach Stuart Lancaster.Stuart is currently coaching Leinster Rugby and he’s held leadership, management and coaching positions at many levels of the game including being the former England Rugby head coach. I’ve also worked with Stuart during my time at England Rugby and have coached against him during his time at Leeds and we discuss that time in both our lives later in this show. He’s a wealth of knowledge around a whole host of topics and over the two shows we delve into leadership, joining new organisations, transitioning from one role to another, creating and maintaining cultures as well as a tonne and of references to books and resources that has helped Stuart continue his learning journey and we started with Stuart explaining where he sees culture sitting in the construction area of a high performance environment.Show Notes: Jim Collins Book ‘Good To Great’ - https://amzn.to/38myPfxLeinster Rugby - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/Leo Cullen - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/staff/leo-cullen/Performance Clock - https://wgcoaching.com/the-performance-clock-the-most-important-concept-in-high-performance-sport/Kettlethorpe High School - https://kettlethorpehigh.co.uk/Andy Farrell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_FarrellGraham Rowntree - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_RowntreeSocial Identity Theory - https://www.simplypsychology.org/social-identity-theory.htmlDaryl Powell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_PowellSimon Middleton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_MiddletonEngland Saxons - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_A_national_rugby_union_teamGuy Easterby - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/staff/guy-easterby/Robin McBride - https://www.leinsterrugby.ie/staff/john-fogarty/Stuart Hooper - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_HooperPaul Sackey - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_SackeyRussell Earnshaw - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_EarnshawWayne Bennett - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Bennett_(rugby_league)Alastair Clarkson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_ClarksonFrancois Pienaar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francois_PienaarEngland Cricket - https://www.ecb.co.uk/Queensland Reds - https://reds.rugby/Counties Manukau - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_Manukau_Rugby_Football_UnionSteve Jobs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_JobsMatthew Syed Book 'Rebel Ideas’ - https://amzn.to/3kaByvoDavid Brailsford - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_BrailsfordBritish Cycling - https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/Team Sky - https://www.ineosgrenadiers.com/article/team-sky-to-become-team-ineosMartin Glenn - https://www.thefa.com/news/2018/dec/13/martin-glenn-statement-131218Gareth Southgate - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth_SouthgateOther Book’s That Stuart Recommends:Bill Walsh - ’The Score Takes Care Of Itself’ - https://amzn.to/3vDNcV2John Wooden - 'Wooden On Leadership’ - https://amzn.to/3vHutHZRic Charlesworth - 'World’s Best’ - https://amzn.to/3K76tDmJohn C.

It's part two of my conversation with former Met Police Superintendent, John Sutherland. From sieges that shut down London, to the time he got things very wrong when communicating to his team and his own personal battle with his mental health, this is another cracking episode, and we pick up from where we left off, talking about Leadership and perhaps it’s most important trait.Show Notes: Jurgen Klopp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_KloppChief Superintendent - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_superintendentThe Siege Of London - https://bit.ly/37CKDtHTottenham Court Road - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Court_RoadStephen Fry on mental health - https://bit.ly/3LZX1DfRuby Wax on mental health - https://bit.ly/3vcaOQjThe Body Keeps The Score book - https://amzn.to/3Egcwo1Mahatmu Gandhi Quote - https://bit.ly/3xjQnDNHugh Jackman on Tim Ferris - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-tim-ferriss-show/id863897795?i=1000480367239Shawshank Redemption - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB3S9bIacoMark Kermode’s Book on the Shawshank Redemption - https://amzn.to/3jnk6U9Bruce Cockburn - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Cockburn Martin Luther King - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr.These Three Remain Quote - https://bit.ly/3xjR3cjMore About John Sutherland:Website - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/about/Media Agency - https://greeneheaton.co.uk/clients/john-sutherland/Twitter - @policecommander‘Blue’ book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r2qSCY‘Crossing The Line’ book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r5ceL7’The Siege’ book - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/the-siege/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibl3M4dTF2ULinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-sutherland-61994992/?originalSubdomain=ukListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

John Sutherland joined the Met Police in 1992 after receiving the baton of honour, presented to the outstanding student during an officer’s basic training. He quickly rose through the ranks and as it says on the back cover of his first book 'Blue', experienced all that is extraordinary about a life in blue: saving lives, finding the lost, comforting the broken and helping taking the dangerous people off the streets. With the highs came the lows and in 2013 John suffered a major nervous breakdown and we talk about and how he’s managed to wrestle control back, later in the podcast.A third book and his first in the fiction category 'The Siege' is on its way, straddling his second book 'Crossing The Line' and before getting into subjects like hostage negotiation, the art of listening and the reason for becoming a policeman in the first place, we spoke about why he started writing and the routines around that.Show Notes: Jose Mourinho - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_MourinhoJurgen Klopp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Klopp‘Blue’ book -  https://amzn.to/3r2qSCY‘Crossing The Line’ book - https://amzn.to/3r5ceL7’The Siege’ book - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/the-siege/Ben’s book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1474608272/Tom Fordyce - https://twitter.com/tomfordyce?lang=enJim Kwik's book ‘Limitless’ - https://amzn.to/37neYN6Damascus Road - https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/road+to+DamascusHammersmith Broadway -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersmith_BroadwayLancashire Police - https://www.lancashire.police.uk/Ben’s Olympic Gold Medal - https://www.sportsjoe.ie/rugby/ben-ryan-fiji-olympic-sevens-rugby-187712The Shawshank Redemption Film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmzuHjWmXOcAndy Millburn Podcast Episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216?i=1000552662688Boston Consultancy Group - https://www.bcg.com/en-gb/Dog Day Afternoon Film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3STmwLDDBcIPhil Williams Head of Scotland Yard Hostage Unit - https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-williams-30242363/?originalSubdomain=ukChinese Symbol For Listening - https://rwwleadership.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/the-chinese-symbol-for-listening/  More About John Sutherland:Website - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/about/Media Agency - https://greeneheaton.co.uk/clients/john-sutherland/Twitter - @policecommander‘Blue’ book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r2qSCY‘Crossing The Line’ book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3r5ceL7’The Siege’ book - https://policecommander.wordpress.com/the-siege/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibl3M4dTF2ULinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-sutherland-61994992/?originalSubdomain=ukListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

My guest this week questions the idea of what success is and how most people can look at sport and life in a very different way.Laurence Halsted is a double-Olympian, a fencer who achieved European medals as well helping to take the GB fencing programme from amateur to professional and qualify for an Olympics in the team event for the first time in the modern era.He’s a former performance director for the Danish Fencing Federation and now Director of Mentoring at The True Athlete Project as well as a performance consultant and coach. This podcast turns into a fascinating conversation that evolves around topics such as mentoring, dealing with failure and doubt, life balance and the power of positive relationships, but we start with the idea of self-compassion.Show Notes: Deloitte - https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/explore/home.htmlKatie Warriner - https://www.theprimeclinic.co.uk/katie-warriner-psychologistSteve Peters - https://chimpmanagement.com/professor-steve-peters/London 2012 - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/london-2012Rio 2016 - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/rio-2016Team Denmark - https://www.dif.dk/Percy Cerutty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_CeruttyHerb Elliott - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_ElliottFiji Sevens Rugby Team - https://www.fijirugby.com/teams/national-7s/fijii-7s/Sigatoka Sand Dunes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigatoka_Sand_DunesChris Skelley Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-25-chris-skelley/Owen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-14-owen-eastwood/The Second Arrow Buddhist Parable - https://mindfulnessmeditation.net.au/arrow/More About Laurence Halsted:Personal Website - https://www.laurencehalsted.com/The True Athlete Project Website - https://www.thetrueathleteproject.org/TeamGB Website - https://www.teamgb.com/athlete/laurence-halsted/41H6AKeLqla6fzkNgslUthBook on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3JNaJbTTwitter - https://twitter.com/laurencehalstedFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/laurence.halsted/photosLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3DlWgRFWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_HalstedListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

In part two of my discussion with Craig White we go into Transcendental Meditation, centering, flow states, the roles of breath, sound, touch and movement and much, much more, but we start by talking about Embodied Learning - what it means, and how it works, as well as the sensation we’ve all felt, our gut feeling.Show Notes: Alan Watts - https://www.youtube.com/c/AlanWattsOrg/videos James Haskell Podcast episode with Craig - https://apple.co/3CKiKeLNLP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programmingOsea Kolinisau Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-15-osea-kolinisau/Men Without Masks E-book - https://www.menwithoutmasks.com/blogMore About Craig White:Website - https://www.craigwhitementoring.com/Men Without Masks Website - https://www.menwithoutmasks.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craigwhitementoring/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/cw_mentoringLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-white-737087a/?originalSubdomain=ukListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

Craig White's credentials in rugby are impeccable. Roles at Wasps, Ireland, Wales, The British and Irish Lions as well as his journey with the Uruguay team at the last Rugby World Cup, fill his CV. He started in strength and conditioning but has added so much more at places like Bolton Wanderers Football Club, where he acted as consultant to manager Sam Alladyce.Relating to the Bolton part of his life, there is some swearing in this section of the podcast. We don’t usually include swearing as we know the podcast is consumed by listeners of all ages, but in this instance we felt it added value and was essential to one of the funnier stories in the programme, so we hope you don’t mind too much.Part one is mainly about Craig's journey and we touch on subjects like pain, character, rapport, feedback and serving people, whilst in part two we go deeper into some of the specific tools and techniques he uses, but we start with his upbringing and how that informed his path from an early age.Show Notes: Rugby League - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_leagueWaterloo Rugby Team - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_F.C.The Alchemist Book by Paulo Coelho - https://amzn.to/3MuMdhdHod Carrier - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_hodJohn Demartini - https://drdemartini.comWarren Buffet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_BuffettRichard Branson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_BransonIreland Rugby - https://www.irishrugby.ie/Lansdowne Road - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lansdowne_RoadAFC Wimbledon - https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/Jerk Chicken - https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/jerk_chicken/Sale RFC - https://www.salesharks.com/Bolton Wanderers Football Club - https://www.bwfc.co.uk/Sam Allardyce - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_AllardycePhil Brown - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Brown_(footballer,_born_1959)Wasps Rugby Club - https://www.wasps.co.uk/Warren Gatland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_GatlandLawrence Dallaglio - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_DallaglioShaun Edwards - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_Edwards Paul Stridgeon - https://www.wru.wales/staff/paul-stridgeon/Dave Haddfield - https://coachscompanion.com/dave-hadfield/Leicester Rugby Club - https://www.leicestertigers.com/Austin Swain Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-6-austin-swain-part-1/2005 & 2009 British & Irish Lions Tours - https://www.lionsrugby.com/2019 Rugby World Cup - https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2019/Uruguay Rugby - https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2019/teams/uruguayMantra - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MantraMore About Craig White:Website - https://www.craigwhitementoring.com/Men Without Masks Website - https://www.menwithoutmasks.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/craigwhitementoring/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/cw_mentoringLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-white-737087a/?originalSubdomain=ukShow Notes - Listen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

Andrew Milburn retired from the US Marine Corps in 2019 and has since gone on to write the highly acclaimed memoir ‘When The Tempest Gathers: A Marine Special Operations Commander At War’. As an infantry and special operations officer, Andy has had operational command at every rank which included leading the multinational special operations task force given the mission of defeating ISIS in Iraq. This has obviously led to some very dangerous situations and from all his experiences, he shares with me what he thinks are some of the key skills and attributes needed to be an effective leader, as well as the culture that needs to be created. How the small accumulation of dropping of standards or turning a blind eye leads to disaster and much much more.This conversation was recorded before the Russian invasion of Ukraine but, a lot of what Andy talks about is directly actionable, especially with how President Zelensky is conducting himself, facing his very own and very real tempest, but, having been educated at St Pauls school in Hammersmith and University College London, my first question was how he ended up in the US Marine Corps in the first place.More About Andy Milburn:Book - https://amzn.to/3vq9lrnIrregular War Podcast - https://bit.ly/3hvO4nWTwitter - https://twitter.com/andymilburn8LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2020/Show Notes: Aiden McCullen Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-22-aidan-mccullen/Aidan McCullen Innovation Show Podcast - https://theinnovationshow.io/about/Boarding School Syndrome book - https://amzn.to/3C7ZJ5YEvelyn Waugh - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_WaughBoy George - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_GeorgeSomalia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)Task Force Ranger - https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)Marionette - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MarionettePavlovian - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/PavlovianMy Lai massacre - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%E1%BB%B9_Lai_massacreHaditha massacre - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haditha_massacreFull Metal Jacket - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Metal_JacketMali incident - https://abcn.ws/3McTJx8George Orwell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_OrwellWinston Churchill - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_ChurchillChurchill’s Chief of Staff - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Brooke,_1st_Viscount_AlanbrookeListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This week's podcast comes from one of the most inhospitable but beautiful places on earth as we chat to explorer, Wendy Searle.A mother of four with a busy job, Wendy wanted to show others that extraordinary is available to everyone. She is the seventh woman and fourth fastest in history to ski solo and unassisted from the coastline of Antartica to the South Pole. The 715 mile route took her 42 days, she fell over every day, lost 12kg in bodyweight, had moments of pure elation and moments of pure devastatio, but through it all, she never had a single day off and kept her mantra ’stop crying and start skiing’ close to hand.It was a really refreshing chat with Wendy. She doesn’t come from a very sporty background. No high level sporting success on her CV and she has never been part of a high performance programme, in a traditional way. Its all come from her drive and her purity of purpose. We talk planning and logistics, getting up early, dealing with sastrugi’s and skiing through whiteout’s, as well as just being able to deal with the enormity of the challenge and all the curve balls it throws at you without anyone else’s help.And we started with the question “Why did you attempt this?”More About Wendy Searle:Website - https://southpole2020.com/Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/user-312058116Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/betweensnowandsky/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/betweensnowskyLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-searle-91262470/Show Notes - Show Notes: Sastrugi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SastrugiPollyanna - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna_(1960_film)Percy Cerutty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_CeruttyRobert Scott - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Falcon_ScottErnest Shackleton - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Shackleton Shackleton Family Motto - Fortitudine Vincimus ‘by endurance we conquer'Maya Angelou - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Angelou Atomic Habits book - https://amzn.to/3H8TwYXMarshmallow Test - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_oy9614HQLiz McColgan Podcast Episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216?i=1000528074743Audible - https://adbl.co/3AFgswKThe Secret Barrister book - https://amzn.to/3o4yiE3Ben McIntyre Rogue Heroes book - https://amzn.to/3G7trbADavid Mitchell book - https://amzn.to/3r2Pzj4 / https://amzn.to/3u5NWTKPunta Arenas in Chile - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punta_Arenas Union Glacier Logistics Base - https://antarctic-logistics.com/camp/union-glacier-camp/British Cycling Innovation - Listen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

This week's guest is professional tennis player, Olympic medallist and founder of the brilliant High Impact Athletes organisation, New Zealander, Marcus Daniell. The chat you're about to hear is a very honest one from someone who's learnt so much from the journey he has taken. It's easy to think that being a professional athlete means that, not only do you know everything about preparation and performance, but that you also have an entourage around you to help and guide you. For the huge majority of those that make a living playing sport professionally, there is no full time support group and they are often doing the majority of their work on their own. Being self-sufficient is something we talk a lot about and how you can become more self-reliant and pro active. Going to an Olympic Games and how being part of a bigger group really added value for him and we expand upon the mistakes he has made and the learnings from it all. Away from the court the obvious drive that Marcus has, propelled him into starting up an organisation called High Impact Athletes, which aims to assist sports people with charitable giving and that’s a rich part of the diet of topics that we touch upon this week, but we start with how he had to chose, at a pretty early age, between tennis and football, two sports he was playing at international level.More About Marcus Daniell:High Impact Athletes Website - https://highimpactathletes.org/teamWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_DaniellATP Profile - https://www.atptour.com/en/players/marcus-daniell/d763/overviewInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/marcusdaniellnz/?hl=enTwitter - https://twitter.com/marcusdaniellLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3swYzwuShow Notes - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/Show Notes: Banská Bystrica in Slovakia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bansk%C3%A1_BystricaMichael Bourne - https://bit.ly/3sKzePuLTA - https://www.lta.org.uk/Owen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-14-owen-eastwood/Mike Venus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Venus_(tennis)David Sammel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_SammelHaka - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HakaPounamu Stone - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PounamuMana - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ManaArthur Ashe Humanitarian Award - https://bit.ly/34YR3lzHigh Impact Athletes - https://highimpactathletes.org/Effective Altruism - https://www.effectivealtruism.org/80,000 Hours Website - https://bit.ly/3HJaHAPMaslow’s Hierarchy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needsAtmosfair - https://www.atmosfair.de/en/Clean Air Task Force - https://www.catf.us/Carbon 180 - https://carbon180.org/Cool Earth - https://bit.ly/3uDwjeb'The Life You Can Save' book by Peter Singer - https://amzn.to/3Ll70DH'Stranger In A Strange Land' book by Robert Heinlein - https://amzn.to/34pPkGoListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmBen’s Social:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck

So, It’s series three and for my first guest of the re-branded 'Culture & Performance Podcast' I thought it would great to kick off with a best-selling author and speaker and someone who’s recognised as one of the world's foremost figures in leadership, team culture and performance, Allistair McCaw.For over 25 years Allistair has worked with some of the most successful people, teams, colleges and organisations in the world. We first met when we were both presenting at a conference for Paris St Germain FC , we struck up a conversation and have continued to swap notes ever since.We used his most recent book ‘Lead with Purpose, Make An Impact’ as the framework for this discussion. He’s given us 44 different stop off points to consider what impacts on our leadership and performance environment. It was a good way to prop up our conversation and covered subjecta like, how you deal with the tough conversations, managing your energy and burn out, routines and the idea of “countback” as well many other stories and tools.I was late getting on the call to Alistair in California as my wi-fi was playing up so it seemed apt to start the chat around what he thought about timings.More About Allistair McCaw:Website - https://www.allistairmccaw.com/Podcast - https://www.allistairmccaw.com/podcastBooks - https://www.allistairmccaw.com/booksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/bechampionminded/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AllistairMcCawLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/allistair-mccaw-552a0a89/Show Notes - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/Listen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://apple.co/3B3c8HKSpotify - https://spoti.fi/3HGk8knAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0CkShow Notes:Vince Lombardi - https://bit.ly/3ssjWyGSir Alex Fergusson - https://bit.ly/3gsM1k5Stephen Gerrard - https://bit.ly/3J687VEGeorge Raveling - https://bit.ly/3HR3leJNick Bollittieri - https://bit.ly/3ssQatARalph Ragnick - https://bit.ly/3LiCytKJürgen Klopp - https://bit.ly/3oxVqLxBrendan Rogers - https://bit.ly/3J2RGcOPhil Neville - https://bit.ly/3uDpnh1Graham Henry - https://bit.ly/3JhRmXTTana Umaga - https://bit.ly/3GyWc16Oprah Winfrey - https://bit.ly/3rABtFZCoach K - https://bit.ly/3HzZ8vyPep Guardiola - https://bit.ly/3sooshUEddie Jones - https://bit.ly/3B5I7XAErwin Valencia Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-4-erwin-valencia/Marcelo Bielsa - https://bit.ly/3slXOGpBrentford FC - https://www.brentfordfc.com/Thomas Frank - https://bit.ly/3gNjC8BMatt Benham - https://bit.ly/3ssGqQ8\Rasmus Ankerson - https://www.rasmusankersen.com/Owen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-14-owen-eastwood/Rita Pearson TED Talk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFnMTHhKdkw
