Where does real learning actually happen?

In this episode of The International Classroom Podcast, Alex Gray is joined by Harry Titley — secondary school teacher, Head of Year, and Director of Rugby at Burton Rugby Club.

Harry works at the intersection of education and sport, and this conversation explores why teaching and coaching are fundamentally the same craft.

Together, they discuss:

Why psychological safety underpins all meaningful learning
The shared leadership principles of classrooms and high-performance sport
Developing people under pressure — without losing the human side
Transitioning from player to coach and learning to let go
How reflection, trust, and belonging shape long-term success
What modern leaders need to understand now — that they didn’t 10 years ago

This episode is for educators, coaches, leaders, and anyone interested in performance, learning, and human development — wherever that learning takes place.
