The Magic Academy

Gerard returns again for some therapy and to chat all things scratching the 1st team itch, coaching in Bangladesh, power dynamics, death threats and being direction without dictation... enjoy!

Alex and Rusty chat all things Neurodiversity... seeing the world differently, being a 'naughty kid', having ants in your pants, looking beyond the label, attachment, Gabor Mate, the behaviour book, hardening of the eyes and a strengths-based mindset... enjoy!

Sam joins the pod for the 2nd time exploding Rusty's brain again... the paradox of pro-sport, 'who am I?', maps of the world and 'I'll be happy when...' enjoy!

Kevin (PhD, U10 rugby league coach and cricket umpire, father to 2) chats all things talent development with Rusty. From early specialisation to injury to motivation to being a parent to competition and players dropping out... enjoy!

Stephen and Rusty chat triggers, self-awareness, reflection, catching players in, car trips and the 1st 15 minutes at home... enjoy!
