Why the Constraints Led Approach is not an 'all you can eat buffet' - Rob Gray in conversati

At the Talent Equation we like to innovate and try new things. In keeping with this spirit of innovation this week's episode is a bit of an experiment.

Rob Gray from www.perceptionaction.com and The Perception Action Podcast stopped by for a chat and was game enough to allow me to include a live (virtual) studio audience in the shape of members of my private mastermind group 'The Conclave'.

This is a great (and long overdue) conversation where Rob talks with me and also takes questions from members of the group.

In the episode we cover:

• Some of Rob's latest research into the relative effectiveness of different learning approaches in coaching.

• Why the Constraints Led Approach is not like an 'all you can eat' buffet.

• Some of the challenges of researching in this area brought on by limitations in experimental approaches

• His call for more coaches to share their 'field notes' of the 'experiments' that they are conducting.

• Rob's thoughts on some of the real world problems that coaches are facing.

It's a fascinating discussion and I am glad that the experiment pretty much worked out.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Working in 'coaching Disneyland' - A conversation with Brett Holland

Brett Holland is a self confessed coaching geek!!

He is a full time coach at one of the most prestigious sporting universities in the UK and he has one of the best jobs in the world.

In this conversation we explore his methods, philosophy and approaches and get under the hood of his experiences as a coach both positive and negative.

Our discussions include:

- His 4 principles for creating an inclusive and progressive environment - How he approaches the psychological side of development - How he gets player feedback to improve his programme - How he manages 'the team behind the team' to provide 'unrivalled holistic support'

This was a great discussion and one that is full of takeaways for any coach working at any level

Enjoy

"It's not down to gifted ability, it's about hard work, stubbornness and not taking no

Jason deVos likes a challenge! He also doesn't give up until he achieves his goals!! He is an object lesson in GRIT, Growth Mindset, Resilience...and all that stuff!!

Not only does he come back from being dropped by his provincial football team at age 12 to captain his country. He gives up a lucrative job as a TV pundit to become the Head of Football Development at Canada Soccer. This is a man who is committed to helping people succeed and he will do his level best to making Canadian Soccer the best it can be.

In this conversation we discuss...

• What his Dad said to him on the long drive back from the trials where he was told he wasn't going to progress.

• His blueprint for improving the environment for children in Canadian soccer clubs

• How he want's to make the system in Canada more challenging for players rather than having a 'culture of entitlement'

• His plans to change the coach development system in Canadian soccer.

• My thoughts on how he could do some of these things.

I hope you enjoy.
