Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#141 - GB Head Coach Steven Tigg
Q: What's your stance on prioritising individual performance over team medals at major championships?
The focus is on individuals who can perform at the highest level rather than forcing a team-based medal haul; the aim is sustainable, peak performances for each athlete.
#141 - GB Head Coach Steven Tigg
Q: Does that make it harder to impose your own way of doing things onto the organisation?
It's not about imposing a new method; it's about inviting people into the ideas and opportunities, sharing learnings, and ensuring the system adapts while maintaining momentum from successful periods.
