Steve discusses lessons from the frontline of working with elite performers with Jamie Pringle, Rosie Mayes. We discuss the essentials of that initial engagement with elite athletes, what to do and what not to do. Getting clarity around your role and what you're working to so that you can prioritise. What clues you might be drawing from the environment, the culture that can help you connect with others and be more effective. Importantly we discuss how some of our behaviours, actions and the bonds between us change under the pressure of competition.

What is it like to work with an elite athlete?

Understanding the culture and environment of sport

Applying your skill and experience to the high performance training environment

Step into the shoes of your athlete, see and experience what they do.

Working with high level performers, winning Olympic medals, but the hard work is completed day in day out on the track or pool

What if they are not interested in the science?

The world doesn't revolve around you

Team sports have their own culture and identity

Cultural intelligence, what do you learn and how do you apply it?

Using humility and credibility in a high performance environment...it's not about you!

Losing naivety, understanding your role, the athlete role and clarity of knowledge

Expecting less from a performance based relationship

Don't fall into the trap of wanting to be valued!

Team identity and the pressure that increases the close to high performance moments

Recognising the pressure for others increasing when you might also be feeling an increase in pressure

Wanting a sense of team belonging and an amplification when under pressure

Searching for certainty in pressure situations

Consistency in training and consistency in performance is a good marker as how you will perform on the day

Get involved in the culture, atmosphere and connect with the individual. The relationships you build on a one to one basis and the development of trust is invaluable.

At a time when 41% of us are considering quitting our jobs, it’s time for us to understand why and what we can do about it. In this special series from HBR, we’re looking at how to craft your current job around the work you really love. In this episode, we’ll explain how to identify which tasks fit that bill and can lead you to a more fulfilling and successful career. IdeaCast co-host Alison Beard speaks with Marcus Buckingham, head of research on people and performance at the ADP Research Institute and author of the new book Love + Work.

“I always knew right from the beginning, since I was a little girl, that I would be an aviator.

Flying was in my blood.”

Carey Lohrenz is a CEO, keynote speaker, executive leadership Coach, aviator, and author of the book Fearless Leadership. She also happens to be the first female F14 Tomcat Fighter Pilot.

Growing up, Carey’s father was in the Air Force, and her mother was a flight attendant. She used to play with her brother, imagining they were flying high in the skies accomplishing all sorts of daring and incredible feats.

Carey always knew she was going to become a fighter pilot, but she had no idea how challenging that career path would be, particularly as a woman. In this episode of the Leadercast Podcast, we talk with Carey about the courage, fearlessness, and resilience she has learned about from her time in the cockpit.
