  • Incredible content but the audio is so bad I can't listen to it. The volumes of the host and the guests are drastically different combined with the accents it's just a hard listen on top of the audio quality being generally poor from the guest.

  • Fantastic insights

    So many lessons to learn from with any guest that is on the show, I’ve genuinely learned at least one thing from each episode I’ve listened to.

    Lots of lessons and insights that I’ve used with my own players since listening to the podcast, I would recommend it to any coach that’s looking to further their development no matter what step on the ladder you are.
