UNCONSCIOUS PARENTING : PADDY UPTON

What an honour I had by being able to interview Paddy Upton. Much like Kyle Hermans, he travels the world extensively as the need for his expertise is in such huge global demand. Best known as one of the world’s leading physical and mental conditioning coaches, Paddy has worked with some of the world’s top athletes, including the Indian cricket team that won the 2011 World Cup. With four degrees and two masters in mental coaching, Paddy is now on a mission to help parents better understand and connect with their children. Over the past 15 years, he has tirelessly researched what he believes is a major gap in how parents’ guide children through their primary and secondary school years. Working together with kids, parents and their academic teachers and sports coaches, Paddy simply wants kids to thrive and be loved for their own unique talents. Paddy Upton has authored a comprehensive and easy to read book about the first 25 years of his professional life called THE BAREFOOT COACH. And – yes - An eventful and meaningful life it has been. In this open and honest conversation, Paddy shares the five critical mistakes he believes many parents are making. If you have children under the age of 18, this is an episode well worth listening to.   Contact Paddy at www.paddyupton.com
