We talk to Jackson Booth, who joined our program a few months ago and whose game is going strength to strength as he works his way towards European trials. He talks us through his match analysis meeting with Danny Clarke that showed the issue with his scanning skills, and how wearing our GPS tracker has revealed the TRUTH rather than his opinion about how a game went. This ep is for someone who wants to understand the player experience inside our program and how it can dramatically and rapidly change your game.

Scanning His Way To European Trials: Jackson Booth

How do a few British expats mad about watching sport decide to start a Brisbane outpost of the Barmy Army? We chat with George Gallantree, one of the founders of the ‘Brisbane Barmies’, about turning his lifelong passion for sport into a charity fundraising machine. We talk about George’s lifelong love of football and his bizarre encounters with some big clubs in his younger years — despite knowing pretty early that he wasn’t going to make it as a pro. A great listen about how it’s possible to make ‘being a sports fan’ into a huge and meaningful part of life.

Four Months on the Program: Player Progress Report with Nathan Long

We talk to Liverpool great John Barnes about his young life in Jamaica, and how his love of many sports contributed to making him the player that would one day represent England. We talk about his views on the importance of a long ‘apprenticeship’ before moving to a bigger club, and his experience learning ‘the Liverpool Way’. Also, are we coaching our senior players too much — or should we just let our players, play? Tune in for all this and so much more.
