Review #4 is where I bring together the podcasts I did with Dr Jay-Lee Nair, David Galbraith, Hugh Gilmore and Jonah Oliver and the theme of this one is psychology.   These were 4 great guests and there was so many good takeaways from them, I do enjoy going back to the full episodes and listening to them and I pick up stuff I never heard the first time, or at least landed differently. Send us a textSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/

In this weeks 2022 year in review I review my sessions with Dr Oliver Runswick (Ep 88), Stuart Morgan (Ep 97) and Cal Jones. (Ep 113)The focus this week is mainly on skill acquisition and how that is evolving, but equally how we need to be careful as it evolves. That is what you have to love about coaching, the more you think you are getting a handle on it, the more you realise you have to learn, which is why I love it. These guys were great and I hope this inspires you to go back and listen to their original episodes.

As it is that time of the year, I have been reviewing the show and thought I would do some mash up episodes which may inspire you to go back and re listen. There have been a few themes throughout 2022 and I have tried to group the episodes with others of a similar themeI have really enjoyed the process. I get so much value out of doing these podcasts and I hope you are able to get some takeaways too.I have some great guests lined up for 2023 and look forward to getting started with them but in the mean time I hope you will enjoy these 2022 year in review podcastsTo kick us Off I have Trevor Ragan (The Learning Lab) Ep 87 Bill Bestic (SAS, Anaethatist, Helicopter pilot)  Ep 90-91 and Mark Mathews (Big Wave Surfer) Ep 92Send us a textSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/

This week I am delighted to have joining me from Wales, Judo Coach Cal JonesCal like most of my guests is someone I stalk on twitter where he posts some great work and can be found at @CalJonesJudo I am amazed at how open the community of coaches are and how willing they are to share their time with me and to those who have been on in the past I do really appreciate it. At the start of the session Cal refers to "EcoD" which is ecological dynamics and "IP" is information processing just incase these are new terms for you.Thank you to everyone who supports the podcast I really appreciate this and do feel truly grateful to be able to do this. Enjoy the chatSend us a textSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/
