food hygiene

Ed and Liam sit down to reflect on their most recent holidays, which quickly turns to a conversation about life. We reference a lot of things from the book we just read, called ‘BEQOMING’. We talk about ‘trusting the triggers to teach’, surrendering the outcome, letting go of what is not within your control, being vs doing and spirituality. Hope you guys enjoy the deeper, reflective conversation!

In this episode, Ed sits down with Hong Kong Rugby Sevens captain, Max Woodward. We talk about captaincy and leadership, overthinking, longevity in high-level sports, building and team culture, insecurities and the importance of self-regulation. It was refreshing to hear a big figure in the sport of Rugby being so open and vulnerable about his failures, challenges and shortcomings.

In this episode, Ed sits down Babs Glancy. Babs has been a member of staff at COASTAL and The Process for over 12 years. In that time she has experienced a lot of self-growth, much of which has come in the last 2.5 years after relocating to Bangkok with her family amidst the pandemic. Having time and space provided her with the opportunity to reflect on her years as an athlete, a captain and a coach.

In this episode, Ed sits down with Ant and Schalk to reflect on our first HYROX race. In this conversation, we share our thoughts on the event and whether or not it met our expectations. We discuss how we felt ‘mentally’ going into the race, and how we felt immediately before and during the race. We reflect on our pacing and strategy, and what we would do differently in hindsight. Finally, we discuss our training and preparation leading into the race, and lastly what we think of the test (and how we would change it!).

In this episode, Ed sits down with Liam Carmichael to talk about the “lifecycle of a coach”. Truth be told, there is no clear cut path for a coach, and myself and Liam’s journeys highlight that. In this conversation, we share our stories: Why we started; How we started, and what we thought we would be doing vs what we are currently doing. We also discuss things like avoiding burnout; discovering your unique abilities, social media and imposter syndrome.

In this episode, Ed catches up with Leigh Coates to talk about the 2021/2022 CrossFit Season, which concluded with her taking 2nd place in her age category in her rookie season. In this conversation, we explore Leigh’s training history and what took her from body pump classes to joining COASTAL in 2017. Leigh reflects on her season, which took her to Dubai shortly after the CrossFit Open. Little did she know that it would be over 6 months before she’d eventually return home.

 

Aside from Training and Competing, we explore mindset, the importance of having a strong support network, having clarity on purpose, focusing on what is inside our control, and turning a challenge into an opportunity.
