The SHIFT Show

Unfortunately, the fitness & nutrition industry is so noisy & stressful it becomes overwhelming. People just want a little bit of great information & know what to do but there’s too much, complicated stuff out there. Popular on Instagram and YouTuber Jordan Syatt is someone doing a great job of taking the high level information on Nutrition & Fitness & giving it to the everyday person for basic, easy to use strategies. We discuss WHY a small win is better than not playing the game at all.  HOW important consistency is. The DANGERS of social media. RECOGNIZE how you're talking to yourself. THREE easy to use strategies. ALSO… A fun rapid fire question segment! We're very chill very, so some pG 13 words on this podcast so maybe don't listen with your kids around, if you're a little nervous about that. ENROL NOW!

Following the release of our very popular short film a Call For Change, sparked honestly one of my favourite conversations I've ever had on a podcast. With my good friends from Power Monkey Fitness, a company that I've kind of been working for the last five years. Dave Duranty a 2008 Olympian for Team USA for gymnastics, and Chad Vaughn two time Olympian for Team USA for weightlifting. And GB Olympian Jennifer Pinches, who you guys may have heard an episode on earlier this year with Claire Halford.  We discuss WHAT is going on in the gymnastics world that we need to change? WHAT are the critical issues that people are facing from the from the coaching point of view, the parent point of view, and also the administration point of view? The reasons WHY gymnastics in particular, is more susceptible to abuse?  WHAT a positive coach does differently. WHEN is showing tough love important for the development of the athlete?  HOW are the parents handling these issues of abuse? What are they going through? We SHARE solutions and the next step we believe need to happen. ALSO… Is it POSSIBLE for female gymnast to peak at age 24 instead of age 16? ENROL NOW!

Parent coach relationships are super challenging.   A highly requested episode from the Shift community when I asked what people are struggling with. I got together a great panel of people in this realm: Chelcie who was a Devision 2 Gymnast and her mum Dianna from the Routine Podcast and Eva Shute who runs four gyms which over the last eight years we have been rebuilding the culture together.   We discuss the FALSE time line in gymnastics.   How many decisions have you made without asking ENOUGH questions?   The difference between a HELICOPTER PARENT and the rightly so involved parent.   The CONCEPT of unrealistic goals and sharing goals so that everyone is on the same page   ALSO…   Realising that it’s about what the ATHLETE wants.   ENROL NOW!

Maybe one of the most important podcasts to ever come out; with Christina Anderson registered Dietitian and Board Certified Paediatric Specialist who specialises in eating disorders. We discuss HOW gymnasts feel and think about food. The MYTHS around Nutrition and HOW they are perpetuated in our sports culture. There is NO ONE ‘GYMNAST BODY’. Aesthetics vs performance; what you look like is not how you perform. ALSO… WHY The American dream WILL NOT bring you happiness. ENROL NOW!
