Description
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.

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
