About this listen

A series of Podcasts by Andrew McGahon largely linked to the sport of Brazilian JiuJitsu, with the scope of expanding off into something else in the future.

For those in the world who have slightly higher aspirations than normal, but seemingly lack the cutting-edge attributes of the high performers, Consistently Above Average is tongue in cheek for those currently happy in the 51-70% range. Wondering what life might be like in the higher bracket.

  • Use This Christmas to Try Become The Thing Put in The Shop Window
    Dec 5 2025

    Unfortunately, the show was delayed due to some legal complications that we address very early in the show.

    Lessons have been learned, and I promise all of the listeners that it won't happen again.

    It's the week before heading off to Las Vegas, but just after that is Christmas, where training is going to slow down a little bit, and you (yes, you) need to take a long hard look at yourself.

    The shops that you give your money to have made a decision for what and why stuff gets put in the shop window, and what you see online is the shop window. You want to be the thing in there, not the pan de-greaser.

    What you’re doing, who you’re doing it with, and if your week is really a reflection of the person who is trying to get to the place they want to get to.

  • Exploring The Great Sport of Hydrox + Irish JiuJitsu Sport Recognition
    Nov 14 2025

    HYDROX Dublin 2025 is here, one of the biggest events on the sporting calendar. Over 15,000 hybrid rockstar athletes are taking to the turf in the hollowed halls of the RDS Arena in Ballsbridge DUBLIN 4.

    Finishers patches, event t-shirts, medals and podium photos all up for grabs this weekend, either in the singles, doubles, mixed doubles and elite divisions.

    Huge early controversy is brewing online from a number of Hydrox athletes who think there are too many slow pace runners, hogging the fast lane at the RDS Arena...but all eyes point to this weekend so we can find out, who's going to be HOGGING the top spot at the end of the day.

    There's also a rounding up, closing discussion about the news of another cringe worthy niche sport, Brazilian JiuJitsu closing in on receiving government recognition as a sport through IMAC (Irish Martial Arts Council) so we take a quick look at who they are, and what this might mean for the sport.

    Thank you for tuning in, you rockstars!

  • My Roman Europeans Experience + NoGi Cross Training Date Announced
    Nov 8 2025

    This is such a terrible time to be writing a podcast bio when your alarm is going off in 5 hours to drive to Dublin for the IBJJF Dublin Open but here I am.

    I'm not even going to ask ChatGPT to correct the spelling and grammar on this one either.

    It's a debrief episode on my experience competing in the NoGi Europeans last week, as well as the announcement you've all been waiting for...when are Andrew and Jean hosting another cross training session...

    The Answer is actually a lot sooner than we expected, Sunday the 16th November and we hope to see as many listeners there as possible too. More information in the episode!
