The GB Sports Performance Podcast

Most of us don't have the luxury of training like professional athletes. We have jobs, families, responsibilities and a lot less time.

Today I'm joined by Nick Garcia and Mike Delbridge to break down how busy athletes can still get incredible results by focusing on the things that matter most:

We share the habits we see successful athletes consistently doing
How to make your training work around a busy life,
Why recovery, consistency and planning will always beat trying to do more

If you want to perform better, recover faster and make progress without your sport taking over your entire life, this episode is for you.

Big competition coming up?

In this episode, I share my approach to game week; how to build confidence, manage nerves, control what you can control, and arrive ready to perform. I explain why chasing fitness at the last minute is a mistake, the routines I use before competition, and how to stay focused when the pressure is on.

Whether you're preparing for Nationals, a World Cup, or the start of your season, this episode will help you compete with confidence and purpose.

In this episode, I cover:
Why confidence comes from preparation, not motivation

The biggest mistake athletes make during game week

Why trying to gain fitness before a competition can hurt performance

How to focus on what you can control and ignore the noise

My personal match-day and pre-game routines

How I manage nerves, mistakes and pressure during tournaments

The simple post-game review process I use to keep improving

If you've got a big competition coming up, my message is simple: trust your preparation, stick to your routines, and focus on becoming the best version of the athlete you've already built.

What does it actually mean to be athletic as we get older?

I want to challenge your idea that athleticism is only about playing competitive sport or being at your physical peak.

Instead, I think it’s about what your body is still capable of doing and how you can maintain and build that capability at any age.

This week I'm breaking down the key components of athleticism, including strength, power, speed, balance, mobility and endurance, and WHY training these qualities can help you stay confident, capable and physically independent as you age.

Age isn't the enemy. Inactivity is.

Creatine, electrolytes, protein powder, collagen… do you actually need them?

Creatine for strength, performance and female athletes
Protein powders: whey vs plant-based and isolate vs concentrate
When athletes actually need electrolytes
Omega-3 and vitamin D
Collagen, BCAAs and other popular supplements
Iron deficiency and supplementation for female athletes

What to prioritise when you’ve only got 1–2 sessions a week
The biggest mistake busy athletes make when life gets hectic
