35 - Part 1 Simon Acerson-Paine, Personal Trainer, Sports Psychology, Expert Running Coach
Description
Alongsider has something for everyone in this episode. The common ground is our body and how it connects to mind and belief. Simon Acerson-Paine is a highly skilled professional with a significant grounding in psychology as well as nutrition, anatomy etc, He talks about his fundamental compulsion to 'burn energy' with the end in mind. He is a 9 on the Enneagram - an adaptive peacemaker. He would never force anything, overthink it (he is a mature 9) or overdo it. Most injuries are caused by doing too much. Learning enough and when to say 'no' is key. These are as useful in the gym as much as in the boardroom or on the Exec team. He reframes exercise for people (often misconceived) as an opportunity to find out who they are, how they feel and what they could be. Questions as much for the individual and the team as for the organisation or community in which we find out selves perhaps. Simon is a consummate Alongsider and you will enjoy his company in part 1 of this 2 part podcast episode.
