With a resounding "YES" to Deano's invite, I flew to meet the boys...“...We've got this edge over every other team now from what [Andrew] taught us and that just empowered a lot of players and just made us a lot stronger as a team. It was something when things weren't going right we could fall back on and...it's worked so far!"In this episode find:3:40 What had been happening to MVBC the past 7 years, having a problem with the mental side of your game and gaining the chokers tag.7:35 President Dean brings Andrew in to talk to the boys, being skeptical of Andrew’s methods and how it all went down in the Division 1 finals.13:15 How it feels to finally be in the premier league, expecting to lose and the skills Andrew taught the team.25:45 Andrew’s coaching session, how the culture of the team was built and an example of the team’s pre game strategy session.34:20 Why MVBC is able to attract so many young players and the secret to the team keeping close to each other.37:20 Andrew and Aaron Walsh’s reflections on the podcast.www.andrewmay.com

#73 The Power of Reflecting on the Previous 12 Months and the Science Behind 'Looking in the Rear View Mirror' - Andrew May & Angela Poon
Setting goals is a lot like driving a car. Most of the time is future-focused, looking ahead out the front windscreen. Goal setting research shows it is also important to periodically check the rear view mirror and remind ourselves of progress made and achievements along the way.As we inch agonisingly closer towards the end of another big year, Andrew and Angela Poon from StriveStronger discuss the 8 areas Andrew asks his coaching clients to review, reflecting on achievements, lessons and learnings from the previous year. Andrew and Angela discuss personal examples, with a few surprises along the way. Andrew also provides an outline for self-reflective awareness (SRA), which is a ‘meta-cognitive’ ability that involves thinking about and reflecting on your own mental processes. “People with a strong SRA are able to generate a self-narrative that is complex, clear, and multifaceted. They are capable of communicating in a way that allows others to have a much better understanding of who they are and where they are coming from”. In this episode Andrew and Ange discuss:2:30 Why we are doing the rearview mirror activity, Ange’s changes between this year and last year and Ange learning to be herself in presentations.17:00 The areas of reflection, StriveStronger’s past year and Ange’s work reflections24:40 Andrew’s work reflection, Ange started listening to the podcast and Andrew’s growth working in mental skills.33:20 Ange’s community reflection, bringing back the 80’s community feeling and the importance of connection.39:40 Goal setting for next year, Andrew’s family and relationships reflection and having quality conversations To find the resources mentioned in this episode go to: https://www.andrewmay.com/performance-intelligence-with-andrew-may/
