A genuine and vulnerable insight into the sporting journey of Ian Braid – dedicated to Nina Foord who sadly passed away recently.
Nina typified the amazing work that volunteers do in sport and also impacted on Ian’s journey from being a young boy volunteering at the local rugby club right the way through to championing the cause and providing support for both athletes and those that help the athletes.
Ian shares some of the highs and lows of his career including some personal challenges but what is clear is the impact he has had on the sporting system and many individuals by bringing attention to some hugely important issues.
Below is a little more detail about Ian. I am confident that he will make you think and that there are some great take away messages from the podcast. Enjoy!
Ian has brought together his significant experience in sport and his passion for helping others under the umbrella of DOCIAsport the company he founded in 2017. He brings a refreshing and independent view to all aspects of duty of care in sport from the perspective of coaches, officials, athletes, administrators, and the sector itself. Ian is acknowledged as a trusted leader whose opinions are widely sought after in sport, higher education, government, and business. He is recognised as a champion of mental health education. DOCIAsport has been shortlisted for a national award as Mental Health Consultancy 2020 and Ian himself is a fellow of the Mental Health Collective. Ian has given acclaimed keynote presentations, lectures, podcasts, and workshops throughout the UK.
His vision as CEO of the British Athletes Commission led to the sector strengthening the support offered to vulnerable adults in sport. He also played a key role in the DCMS review of duty of care in sport assisting Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson. These became the platform for Ian to deliver sustainable positive change in sport, mental health provision and for the next generation of sport leaders applying his values, skills, and experience

A fantastic insight into the cricketing story of Jason ‘Dizzy’ Gillespie. From the cricket obsessed young boy in Sydney right the way through to leaving his mark on English county cricket and returning to be Head Coach back in South Australia.
Dizzy shares some brilliant insights into how he became the cricketer he did, the key influences along the way and how and why they helped him and also the approach and philosophy he now takes as a Head Coach into building performance teams and cultures in cricket.
True to form Jason shares his story in the most genuine and humble way – yet with a real steeliness, determination, and ambition.
This is a must listen to conversation if you are parent, coach, sports fan or even a business leader interested in performance and learning environments. There is something in here for everyone!
Beware – there is no mention of that extremely high batting score he made as a night watchman in his final test!

A double Olympian talking about dreaming big and starting small, following your heart and doing what you love, how we become what we practice and why not pick up the pen and write your own chapter. These are some of the many brilliant insights, tips and phrases Chris shared in this honest and humble conversation.
Chris also gave an interesting perspective as a business owner offering a sport service to parents as well as being a parent himself.
I learnt loads and so could you – take some time to listen in!
Below is a bit more of a background to Chris…
After competing for Great Britain for nearly 10 years, Chris hung up the trunks and retired from international swimming and began working with businesses/organisations far and wide to help inspire, mentor and coach people to embrace 'challenge and change' for their optimal performance. Chris has built a reputation as a motivational speaker throughout the last 7 years working from referral to referral, sharing his story and the lessons learnt from the journey with over 400,000 people. Throughout this time, Chris designed and delivered an Olympic Inspiration Programme for children to schools across Kent (UK) which reached over 300 schools spanning 6 years.
In 2011 Chris was a lead mentor on a the 'Sky Sports Living for Sport' - inspiration programme across the UK & Ireland. The programme was designed to assist disengaged people from society to get back on track. This role involved training up former Olympians and World Class Athletes to deliver inspirational talks and mentoring/coaching programmes. The role involved working with the most challenging of young people whilst coaching athletes to transition from sport to mentoring.
During the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Chris was selected to mentor and coach the next generation of Olympians on the 'Ambition Programme'. This programme involved taking 350 potential Olympians to experience an Olympic games (London). Chris's role was mentor the athletes to maximise the whole experience and to expand their personal development.
Here and now .... Currently, Chris and his wife Erica, run their own Learn to swim business - 'Swim Buddies' which has seen the business (located in Darlington, UK) grow from 7 swimmers in their first week in September 2014 through to over 900 children swimming with Swim Buddies every week.
Chris's coaching, speaking and mentoring is centred around personal development. Whether it's in the water helping swimmers or on dry land in business and life, Chris believes that success is something you attract from the person you become.

How can we get perfection in an imperfect world? Balance between winning and losing; Media scrutiny; The role and impact on family; A thirst for learning; The importance of perspective, the performance/learning environment and the constraints you have to work with are just a few of the many areas we covered in this fascinating conversation.
