🎙 ALWAYS ANOTHER GAME
by Shaun Thompson
AAG was born over a decade ago yet the funny thing is I never knew it until recently. It was a term I used to bring myself back down after a poor performance or loss in Ice Hockey to help remind me that there is another game. I can’t dwell on the past I need to focus on the NOW and how that will help the FUTURE.Yet after retiring from the sport I loved, a lot of what made me mentally successful went out the window until one famous night. I was highly stressed on this infamous day and my parenting tolerance had reached it’s peak, so without shouting I sent the boys to bed early before it had the chance to reach that point.Only to come downstairs full of guilt and shame that I was not at my best and this is not what I wanted to be as a parent.Then it hit me...We get to go again tomorrowHow can I be better for myself and my loved ones because that’s how I used to do things in my sporting careerI would look for solutions not excuses and that is when it hit me that all the skills I

Shaun Short - Performance Optimisation isn't just a skill
Why Performance Optimisation is more than just skills... Most people think success comes down to; 👉🏼 Focus your skills in one area 👉🏼 Work harder 👉🏼 Work More game over, right? ❌ Wrong High performers don’t just rely on skill They optimise their body, mind, and energy like a Formula 1 car Because at the highest level, skill gets you in the game but performance keeps you winning (and who doesn't love to keep winning) 🔥 If your nervous system is fried, your decision-making tanks 🔥 If your recovery sucks, your execution slows down 🔥 If your energy is drained, you’re leaving opportunities on the table That’s why in the Always Another Game Podcast Episode today, I break down what separates those who burn out from those who dominate long-term We go beyond tactics and I share the key reasons why I never reached my peak in Ice Hockey And how I use those losses to fuel my success today Peak performance isn’t just about knowing what to do It’s about having the energy, resilience, and clarity to do it at the highest level, every single time If you want to stop playing the game and start owning it, this is the episode for you Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk

Shaun Short - What if the cards are stacked against you?
What if the cards are stacked against you? because life is challenging and more often than not the odds are against us So when it does get tough how do you manage those tricky times?

Inside the mind of the one that goes inside the athlete’s mind
Inside the mind of the one that goes inside the athlete’s mind I used to think sports psychology was woowoo I tried it once for a minute and wrote it off Yet there is a reason why many professional sports now have their own highly skilled staff looking after their players mental well being Because without it then you will never see a peak physical performance And on today’s episode of Always Another Game Podcast I have the pleasure of talking to Manchester Storm Ice Hockey Club’s Well Being Consultant Liz Stewart I broke a few of my own rules here today because Liz didn’t grow up with a sporting story Yet she is involved in one of my core values of this podcast and that is supporting and looking after the well being on not just Ice Hockey Players but athletes We discuss today the importance of the players having someone they trust they can talk to And how priceless it is for a coach and organisation to have a person involved in your team getting the best out of your players If you have every been interested in how your mental performance hugely affects your physical Then you’re going to want to glide on over to hear what Liz has to say Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk

Who is in your corner? Do you know? You know those people that would go to war for you and expect nothing in return And their belief in you drives you forward into things you once though was impossible Because on today’s Shaun Short episode we discuss the influence that certain people have in our lives As many times an athlete has mentioned a Coach or Sensi that has made an incredible impact on their career and life And I felt it would be great to dig a little deeper into this topic Because sometimes you may not even know you had someone until you lost them Don’t panic I’m not going to take up too much of your time with the Shaun Short episodes so you can fit one in today I can’t wait to see you over there Shaun Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Website - www.thebehaviourchangecoach.co.uk

Shaun Short - It's not just about the numbers
I’ve never been a numbers guy… The thought of any pressurised maths sends me into a bigger freeze state than Walt Disney And many will argue and say that I need to get a handle on this But in a team sport it doesn't matter if one player has scored 5 goals if you lose 8-5 You need the players who block shots, support you when you're down and bring the energy for the whole team just by how they show up You see there are so many other ways to thrive away from numbers Whether that is in your parenting Personal Development And Business And I share my thoughts on this powerful Shaun Short episode on the Always Another Game Podcast today Short and Sweet just like me… Joining me?

Shaun Short - What is sport about?
What is it really all about? With sport comes a huge desire to win that many take on the 'whatever it takes approach even at a young age But surely there is more to it than just winning? Sure winning is important and in my opinion it is a key element of sport But surely their is a bigger picture of creating upstanding citizens who have used sport as a pathway to live the life they desire rather than seeing their life finish on the day they play their last ever game Come and sit down with me as a share what sports has meant to me and how I see it now in the eyes of an athletes parent Find me here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebehaviourchangecoach/ or Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaK2B2-yhQvAN9UN6d7Ikvw Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/abbynoise/firestorm
