105: How to Manage BIG Changes
Description
Adapting when the goalposts suddenly move in high-performance sport (and life)
In Episode 105, we explore what happens when a well-designed long-term plan is derailed by sudden external pressure, and how athletes, coaches, and support can respond in a constructive way.
We break down:
How teams thrive when identity, communication, and process are aligned
Why short-term panic destroys long-term performance
How behavioural flexibility becomes your biggest asset
What Bruce Tuckman’s team stages (Forming–Storming–Norming–Performing) can teach us during disruptive change
The “Three Ants” analogy that reveals how people react when systems collapse
One leadership decision can shift an entire team culture from growth mindset to panic mode. But it doesn't have to be that way. Elite performers can stay adaptable when everything changes.
For the strategies that keep teams united, resilient, and performing under pressure, this episode is a must-listen.
