Juan Gonzalez Mendia from www.sudamericacoaching.com is a coach and coach developer that is working to bring non linear approaches to South America.
He works with schools, clubs, provincial associations and national governing bodies to help them to embrace player centred development philosophies and approaches.
In this episode we explore...
The issues that people have with embracing non linear approaches
How to help a boss or leader to recognise that they need external support to improve their teams coaching
The challenges that he faces in developing coaches that are resistant to change (we have a little but of fun role playing this)
It is a fascinating conversation and a great insight as to how the ecological approach is spreading across the globe.
Enjoy

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.
All the best and remember #ditchthosedrills ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to join the Conclave then there are some spots still available.

Kendal McWade from Instinctive Golf is back.
Recently, he dropped by for a visit for 2 days. He came to watch me coaching my regular Wednesday night group and then he coached a friend of mine as well as working me on my game and also coaching my son.
After dinner, we recorded some reflections of our experiences and shared our thoughts on our respective approaches and methods.
Some themes in this conversation are:
How to praise without giving praise
The difference and similarity of approach between team games and individual games
The nature of feedback and how most coaches and players are 'outsourcing feedback'
Our different approaches to questioning
Why coaching sessions should make the player's head hurt
....and a lot more
Enjoy
