This podcast was originally recorded in 2021 when David Galbraith and I used to Co-Host the Pod live on Facebook every Monday night. I really enjoyed going back and listening to this (Apart from listening to myself, I think I was pretty nervous that night!) and listening to how Ian saw his role as a coach and I am not surprised the players all got behind him last year when things weren't quite going to plan. I hope you enjoy this podcast and if you do it would be great if you could share it with your mates!Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/

This week I am joined by Dr Ihirangi (Ihi) HekeIhi is an honorary research fellow to the University of Auckland and has been working with Johns Hopkins University  to conduct a study using traditional indigenous health approaches alongside Systems Dynamics. Ihi is also working with Washington University in the development of training programmes exchanging Systems Dynamics from indigenous and non-indigenous perspectives.Over the past 10 years he has been active in helping Māori and other indigenous groups abroad, build their own health and wellness activities based on their own traditional knowledge. His Atua-Matua Framework has been a work in progress and is attracting national and international attention from health and education policy makers and providers who are struggling to apply standard western deficit models to global health initiatives and are looking to more localised indigenous models of engagement to deal with global health issues. Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/

Rachel helps us look with a little more detail in to the performance world Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/

This week I am joined by one of the best coaches in NZ, Mike Hesson. Mike has had an impressive career coaching Argentina, Kenya, Otago, New Zealand and most recently in the IPL, and having success in most environments. He took over the NZ team when they were ranked 8th in the world and achieved huge success not only at the 2015 world cup but in many ways set them up for the success that would follow his reign.But equally impressively was the way in which the men went about that, they brought some strong kiwi values to the team and were able to bring these values to life with the way they played. I hope you enjoy this chat with Mike HessonSend us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://talkingperformancepod.com/
