  • Not only is this approach more fun for the kids, it’s way more fun for the coach!

    Stuart has great guests and does an amazing job of breaking down the ecological dynamics approach so that non academics, which most of us coaches are, in a way we can understand and even more importantly, utilize in our practice design. Coming from the ice hockey world, which can be very rooted in tradition, these podcasts help me support what I am doing, make it so I can explain to parents why I am doing it and help me be creative in creating environments for learning. As a coach developer for ... more

  • Who coaches the coaches? Only you can by listening to this

    A broad array of guests who will challenge our perceptions and understanding of what we deem good coaching. Balancing theory with practice this podcast is more rich then a Sunday Times Rich List celebration party.

    These podcasts offer some fantastic insight into the coaching process. Regardless of what sport you coach there are some great moments that you can adapt to your own practice. Dont listen when your running mind as you'll be stopping to type stuff in your phone all the time.

  • A light bulb moment!

    I have only come across the TTE podcast recently and have found it so interesting and informative. The interviews are very easy listening and really gets you thinking. As an older coach who has been coaching for a while and a coach developer I have already taken loads away.Unless you are in sports education you may not be aware of some of the topics discussed. The podcast really makes me reflect.

    Please keep up the great work. I recommend this to any coach I engage with as a rich resource.
