   Bite Size: How To Coach a Client Through the Worst Year of Their Life | Nam Baldwin

   In 2015, professional surfer Mick Fanning survived a great white shark attack live on television, then endured the end of his marriage and the death of his eldest brother within the same twelve months. Performance coach Nam Baldwin, who has worked with world champions across multiple sports for two decades, says the thing that got him back into the ocean was never toughness. It was a single, deliberately chosen philosophy, one Baldwin still teaches clients today. What that philosophy actually is, and why grief had to come first, not last, is what this one is really about. Visit Nam's website: https://www.nambaldwin.com/ (https://www.nambaldwin.com/) Visit Hupo's website: https://hupo.com.au/ (https://hupo.com.au/) High performance is not about pushing harder. It is about building the capacity to perform when it matters and sustain it over time. Hosted by Andrew May (https://performanceintelligence.com/), one of Australia’s leading experts in human performance, leadership and mental skills, the Performance Intelligence Podcast explores how leaders, athletes, coaches and researchers think clearly, manage pressure and consistently perform at their best. Drawing on more than 20 years working with senior executives, elite sporting teams and the Australian Defence Force, Andrew combines candid conversations with evidence-based performance insights and practical strategies you can apply.

   Bite Size: Why Win-At-All-Costs Doesn't Survive Contact With Business | Michael Klim

   Olympic gold medallist, Michael Klim, explains why the mentality that won him 17 years of world records nearly destroyed his life after retirement. Michael took the same win-at-all-costs approach into business: redeye flights, fourteen-hour days, no off switch, and it cost him his relationship, his mental health, and eventually his body. You can find Michael at his TGI Sport Profile: https://tgisport.com.au/talent/michael-klim/ (https://tgisport.com.au/talent/michael-klim/) At his Website: https://www.michaelklim.com/ (https://www.michaelklim.com/) Or on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelklim1/?hl=en (https://www.instagram.com/michaelklim1/?hl=en) High performance is not about pushing harder.

   Bite Size: What Creatine Actually Does to a Desk-Bound Brain | Dr Tom Buckley

   Creatine has spent decades filed under gym supplements, something for building muscle and nothing else. Dr Tom Buckley says that filing is out of date. A recent meta-analysis found measurable improvements in memory, attention and processing speed among people taking creatine, distinct from any effect on strength or size. Buckley, who has spent his career researching human performance, is careful about what the research does and does not show. What it does show, for a desk-bound brain rather than a gym-bound body, is the part worth hearing.
