Dr Sherylle Calder - 'Little Things Make A Big Difference'

Setting The Scene With Tom Fordyce: Welcome to my new podcast where each week I’ll be joined by leading coaches, athletes and educators from the world of sport and far beyond. On each episode I’ll go through my guests journey, their stories and compare with my own experiences coaching at the elite level, to pull out some greats tips and useful advice around all things performance and that often mentioned, but misunderstood word, culture. Currently I consult with some of the biggest sporting and corporate organisations in the world from Premier League Football teams to American Sporting institutions, but I’m probably best known for coaching the Fiji national rugby sevens team to world titles and the country’s first ever Olympic medal, a gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Of course I’ll draw on that amazing journey but also on the lessons I’ve learnt and the principles I’ve forged over the last 20 years working in professional sport - and that’s really what inspired me to star this podcast by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Matt Little - 'How Hard Is A Hard Day?': If you watch tennis, you might recognise his face. You aren't sure what he does but you see him at the Grand Slam events as the cameras pivot to the players team and families seating. Maybe in the short video played before Andy Murray, Britain’s greatest ever tennis player, comes onto centre court at Wimbledon, you see him on the same practice court chatting to Andy as he then disappears into the locker room. Matt Little is a world renowned coach and he has been Andy Murray’s strength and conditioning trainer since 2007. In that time, so much has had to be faced. The joy of Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold, the despair of career-threatening injuries to Andy that didn’t seem like they would ever shift. If you need reminding how fragile an athlete’s career can be and how they need those around them help them through those moments then this interview is probably it.

Erwin Valencia - 'Just Do You': We go stateside this week and talk to Erwin Benedict Valencia or simply ‘E’. I have know Erwin since 2016 when we met in New York City in his role working in Basketball and we’ve been good friends ever since. I would regard him as a polymath, hugely competent in many different and diverse domains. At the last count he had over 30 letters after his name but that really is just a by product of who he is. He grew up in the Philippines but moved around a fair bit as a kid before getting his first break working in professional sport with the Pittsburg Pirates in Major League Baseball. From there he went into professional basketball where he remains today. He's widely sought for his views and skills and the athletes he works with benefit hugely from his continuous learning, his curiosity and his positivity. During this chat, we touch on resilience, recovery, over-training, mindfulness, meditation, breathing, manifestation and positive psychology. For this e by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Joe De Sena - Nothing Good Happens After 11pm: Joe De Sena is a force of nature. I first became aware of Joe through podcasts like The Tim Ferris Show and Rich Roll and decided to reach out. Joe's story on those podcasts was one of starting out with very little and how a drive to change 100 million people’s lives pushed him on to found Spartan, which now has over 250 races in over forty two countries and with his recent acquisition of Tough Mudder, those stats are only going up. We only scratch the surface in this episode around his early years and his pool cleaning business where his first clients were mob bosses and I’d advise you to check out the aforementioned podcasts for more details on that part of his life, but in this conversation we focus on mindset, different ways to train, breaking bad habits and even the reasons behind why he ran up Scottish glens with weights and a bag-piper trailing behind him! We start though with with a story about Fiji and his first encounter with by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Liz McColgan - Everyone Is An Individual: Series 2 kicks off with Olympian and former world champion athlete, Liz McColgan. Liz had a glittering career in athletics on both the track, in the 10,000m and the road, in the marathon. On top of world titles, she’s also a double olympian, double commonwealth champion and multiple marathon winner. In fact her story around her debut marathon, coming straight off a track season with no Marathon training to go out and win the New York marathon is a must listen coming up. From her early days growing up and the hurdles she overcame to succeed, to her coaching herself in her crowning achievements and training in a sauna in Scotland is all on its way! We also talk drug use in sport and the grey areas around technology creeping in as well. She is now a coach to others, including her daughter Eilish, a world class athlete too and on her way to the Tokyo Olympics as we speak. It’s a great listen and we start with her own origin story and those f by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Owen Eastwood - Belonging: Owen Eastwood is a performance consultant who’s book ‘Belonging’ I devoured recently. Topping the charts in his native New Zealand, it’s crammed full of story-telling and take-home messages. I would read a few pages, then reflect on my own work and career and drift off into thought and feelings. It’s such a good read. Owen has worked with some of the very best teams and organisations both in the UK and abroad. Of Maori descent, that’s also a driver that’s fuelled his thinking around purpose, leadership, role models, success and much more. For the last five years he’s been a consultant to Gareth Southgate’s England team as well as recently consulting with the new Premiership Rugby Champions, Harlequins and thee are stories about those teams as well as many more examples along the way. I drove across to his offices in the Cotswolds really excited for the conversation I was going to have. The book gave me plenty of starting points, but also through conversati by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Austin Swain Part 2 - 'What Got You There, Won't Get You There': If you have listened to last weeks episode then you would have heard leading psychologist, Dr Austin Swain, talk about coping with pressure, confidence, psychological safety and a whole lot more. We continue that conversation in this week’s show as we jump into the world of business and work-life, from a leadership point of view, but also the different styles of leadership and new ways of working, communicating and avoiding burnout. From stories of the battle between Coco-cola and Pepsi, to bringing values to life, adapting to a new role and the idea from one of the greatest-ever TED talks that “every contact leaves a trace', we’re going deep! I also bring some of this back to sport with recollections from my own career, but also remember - the vehicles we use to tell these stories might be relevant to Austin or me but like so much of our learning , we can use these ideas to morph into our own world’s and thoughts.

Margot Wells - 'Bring Me The Right Head, I’ll Give You The Body': Welcome to another show where each week I'm joined by some brilliant minds that deliver their take on what they think really makes the difference in performance. My second guest on the #benryanpodcast is Margot Wells, one of the great unsung heroes, but not by the many international sportsmen and women who have benefited hugely from her talents and expertise. Her personal performance journey began as an International sprinter back in Scotland in the 1970’s before she took on the task of coaching her husband, Alan Wells, to the 100m Olympic Gold Medal at the 1980 Moscow games. In those subsequent years, she has worked across a whole spectrum of sports and athletes to make them more powerful and make them run faster. If you would like to know more about Margot than pop across to her website at wellfast.co.uk and its also where you contact her directly too.

Nemani Nadolo - 'It Never Starts With Rugby': From his beginnings in Sigatoka ‘Rugby Town’ in Fiji, to gracing every top professional league in the world, rugby superstar, Nemani Nadolo’s story is an engaging one. One of the world's best Rugby Union wingers in the last twenty years, it’s not been a straight path to his many achievements and honours. Indeed at one stage it looked like Nemani might not have a career in rugby at all, but thoughts of lucrative work in the mining industry soon turned to following his passion and eventually lighting it up at a Rugby World Cup. It’s a story full of takeaways and cognisance. I met Nemani, pre covid in a park in Oadby, Leicestershire, shortly after he had signed to play for the Leicester Tigers in the Gallagher Premiership. As the lawn mowers buzzed in the background, we spoke about the importance of understanding the individual, controlling your ego and a whole lot more. This became an emotional chat and I thank Nemani for opening up to me. by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Series 1 Review: Welcome back to the podcast where this week I take a look back over series one with the help of my partner, TV presenter Michelle Ackerley. It’s been a fantastic start to the podcast and over the course of the past ten week's we've heard from one of the stars of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Tom Fordyce, sprint coach, Margot Wells, sport psychologist, Dr Austin Swain, Fiji rugby player, Nemani Nadolo, New York Knicks performance leader, Erwin Valencia, Andy Murray's strength and conditioning coach, Matt Little, long-time coach of Jessica Ennis-Hill, Tony Minichiello, eye specialist Dr Sherylle Calder and special forces, turned England sevens star, turned entrepreneur, Greg Barden. It really has been a brilliant first series and over the course of this review we pick out some of our favourite moments, discuss what we’ve both learnt as well as expanding the chat out to topics such as working in the media, lessons for life in general and we also briefly look ahead to serie by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Austin Swain Part 1 - 'High Performing Teams Disagree Well': Dr Austin Swain is one of the co-founders of Lane 4, experts in organisational performance that have a 25 year track record of world-class and ground breaking delivery. He was England Rugby’s first Sports Psychologist and has worked with many top-end professional sports teams and athletes, but he’s also spent a huge amount of his career in the corporate sector too. I have known Austin since my student undergraduate days at Loughborough University when I attended his Sport Psychology lectures. Much of my coaching success has been grounded in my man-management and those softer skills to what I would now call, creating an environment of Psychological Safety and It was Austin's dulcet tones and engaging way that inspired me and sent me on a life-long learning journey around leadership, management and performance. This discussion had so much in it that we have decided to make it a two-parter. This first part starts with Austin by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Greg Barden - 'Life Isn't Black And White': Greg Barden was the youngest to ever pass Special Forces Selection and his journey from the Special Boat Service to England Sevens and company founder is as inspirational as it is interesting. This was the first time we met each other since we parted ways badly with England Sevens, me as the coach and Greg as the captain. It really was great to see Greg again and something we should have done a long time ago. He has not only done some truly amazing things in his life so far, but he also talks about them so brilliantly and reflects deeply and with real insight. Certainly, it was very cathartic to talk about how we fell out but it also left me with some mixed emotions. I was genuinely elated to have had that difficult conversation but also disappointed in myself that I had been like that with him all those years ago and not had the tools to mend it quickly. I put those softer skills right at the top of what I think I am very good at but the by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Jeremy Snape - There's A Lot Of Things You Can Do If Your Radar's Up: As a cricketer, Jeremy Snape achieved international honours with England as well as captaining county side Leicestershire, but it’s perhaps for his work in sports performance that he’s best known for these days. Post playing career Jeremy founded Sporting Edge, a company specialising in inspiring individuals, leaders and teams to deliver their best and this was the crux of the conversation when we met. Jeremy was great company and his wealth of experience energised the conversation. We had a fascinating chat covering so many topics within performance, narrowing in on the mental side, through to the performance of teams, athletes and managing Mavericks, but we started by talking about selflessness and as the perfect example, a group called the ‘Rivonia 8’ the name given to those that were sentenced alongside Nelson Mandela, to serve a large part of their lives in prison on Robben Island.

Dr Sherylle Calder - 'Little Things Make A Big Difference': My guest this week is Dr. Sherylle Calder. Sherylle was part of the staff that helped South Africa win the Rugby World Cup in 2007, having won the same tournament four years earlier in Australia with England. She's also worked in many other sports including Football, Cricket, NFL and Formula One and has also worked on an individual basis with some of the world's best athletes, such as Open Golf Champion, Ernie Els. Her specialism, that she discovered as a young international hockey player, centres around vision and improving all aspects of that, not just with elite athletes, but also young children and CEO’s. We talked about embracing natural talent, seeing the whole picture, sifting what information is useful and what isn’t, critical non-essentials and the effect of mobile phones on elite sport and life in general. Its another one of those episodes where we cross into many different sports and skills and it was fascinating by The Ben Ryan Podcast

Cath Bishop - There's More Than A Medal At Stake: Ex-International Rower Cath Bishop won World Titles and has been to three Olympics including the 2004 games in Athens where she won a silver, but results are not what she would like to be judged or defined by. In fact, just starting her introduction as “ex-international rower” already wrongly labels what she is about. In her terrific book, The Long Win, Cath looks at winning from a longer term view and this conversation opens up many questions around what really defines success. Cath’s three C’s of Clarity, Constant Learning and Connection form some of the framework around our chat, but also her experiences as an athlete in a high performance programme and in her career as a diplomat, working in conflict affected parts of the world. Is it all about coming first, winning that gold, delivering that tournament title or should we be putting far more emphasis and understanding around the longer term?

Chris Skelley - Keep Moving Forward, Keep Staying Positive: For today's show it's the irrepresible Chris Skelley. Only a couple of months ago he won Judo gold in the visually impared under 100kg category at the Paralympics in Tokyo. He's also a European and World Champion. Chris grew up playing rugby and competing in Judo from the age of five, but in his teenage years his sight began to suffer due to Ocular Albinism and that led to a huge change in his life, in every area. We talk about that and how it's fuelled his positivity and fashioned the path he's on now. Styles of learning, understanding the individual, trust between coach and athlete all crop up in what both turned out to be a heart-warming, inspiring and light-hearted conversation and we started by talking about the aftermath of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Chris missing out on a podium finish and how that threw even more coals on his fire of further development.

Tom Mitchell Part 1 - Excitement And Fear Walk The Path Hand-In-Hand: Tom Mitchell, Olympic Silver Medallist and England and Team GB Rugby Sevens Captain at both the Rio and Tokyo Olympic Games is this week's guest. It really was a great conversation and having originally given Tom his international debut when I coached him with England, we had well over a decade of collective experiences to unravel and explore. Recorded during a sunny walk through Richmond Park in South London, Tom talks about his return from the Tokyo Olympics and missing out on a medal after claiming silver in Rio five years earlier, Injuries, disappointments and more. We really get stuck into his leadership and the style he prefers both giving and receiving as well as tools he uses to stay present and be as authentic as he can, but we started with his views on mindfullness after he posted a series of stories about the subject on Instagram.

Osea Kolinisau - When You Don't Have Much, You Help Each Other Out: Former Fiji sevens captain and my great friend, Osea Kolinisau, or Oscar, as he is known in rugby, is this week's star guest. Flag bearer for Fiji at the Rio Olympics, when Fiji won their countries first ever Olympic gold medal, he’s one of the most successful sevens players in the history of the game. Our relationship was more than just coach and captain. He helped navigate me in my early days in the pacific and we relied on each other on and off the training field. We really dig into that relationship between coach and player and trust and belonging are wrapped up in all of that. Towards the end of our conversation you’ll hear Sonny, Oscar’s young son in the background, which re-inforced what we had spoken about earlier in the podcast about the importance of family and we begin in a similar vein with Osea telling me how a crucial moment happened early in career that really defined everything that followed.

Kelly Sotherton - Throw Positive Thoughts Out And They'll Come Back Somewhere: As a heptathlete, Kelly Sotherton had huge success. A triple Olympic medalist, Commonwealth Games gold medalist and with European and world medals. But some of her medals came years and years after she actually competed as the result of some of her opponents failing drug tests retrospectively. We talk about that and her next chapters now, as a coach, as a team leader for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Kelly doesn’t hold back and I find that so refreshing. She says what she thinks and it comes from a place of wanting her sport to be in a better place and I think everyone listening to this will get some great nuggets to take away as well as just enjoy her humour, her storytelling and her wisdom. We start with Kelly telling me how she swapped her coach, bringing in the formidable dutch mentor Charles van Commenee a year before the 2004 Olympics in Athens.

Last week we talked about nutrition and breathing and how he is ever-evolving as a father and husband by learning new things each week and this week we discuss Aidan’s playing career, from being capped with Ireland, Leinster, his arrival in France with first Dax and then his dream club, Toulouse before finishing his career in England with London Irish. He’s so good to chat too and in this episode we cover topics such as discipline vs talent, manifestation, which I’m a big believer in and the role of mentors which is also something we delve even deeper into next week in the third and final part, but we started by Aidan talking about one of the great minds of the 20th century.

From hosting his own amazing podcast 'The Innovation Show', which is listened to by none other than Bill Gates, to lecturing, coaching executives and writing his first book, Undisruptable, we dip into lessons learnt from all of those facets of his life as well as his role as father to his two young sons, which you’ll hear has been informative in more ways than one, but we start with a question that Aidan has recently started to ask himself.

We discuss building values from day one, putting time into relationships, confidence and lack of it and life after professional sport, but we started by speaking about how do you convince an athlete that filling in a questionnaire or turning up on time for a meeting is eventually going to help you win the game or win the tournament.
