    Episode 7: Ego
    Oct 14 2022
    In this episode I sat down with Richie Elliot from Rikers gym in Adelaide SA. We started this conversation off chatting the usual combat sport stuff, about fighters pulling out of fights, money in UFC & boxing but then a little while in, we went down a rabbit hole talking all about ego & how it has effected us as coaches, our battles with our egos in every day life & the steps we're both taking to improve as human beings. It was a very great, deep conversation!

    Episode 4: Coach
    Mar 11 2022
    In this episode Patty sat down with head coach from Element Jiu Jitsu in the Barossa Valley, Tommy Gerlach. Tommy & Patty share a very similar, but different path, both being country boys from small country towns that both discovered martial arts & went on to coach & run their own gyms. They both shared their experiences that have got them to this point so far, they discussed the difficulties of coaching & running a small business in covid times & also dove deep into mental health. With Tommy being diagnosed as bi - polar with borderline personality disorder, he was able to really give an insight into what its like living with mental health issues, the effect it has on him, his family & his ability to coach & also about his experience in the mental health support system. This one was a very interesting chat!

  • Episode 3: Success

    Episode 3: Success
    Feb 11 2022
    On this episode Patty was joined by Carly Gangell, former fighter & current coach at Boars Martial Arts & promoter of Pride Fight Series. At just 24 years of age Carly has realised a lot of success already, so she sat down with Patty to chat all about that, but most importantly all the behind the scene struggles that go with it! A lot of people see the success, but very few are willing to openly sit down & talk about all the hardship involved in it, but in this episode Carly & Patty did exactly that. This episode is a great insight into fighters & coaches mentality, goal setting, how to deal with setbacks, business mentality & much more.

    Episode 2: Sobriety
    Jan 31 2022
    In this episode Patty was joined again by Leigh Watson from Episode 1, Pinky from Team Pinky Muay Thai & Josh Graetz, former coach at Barossa Muay Thai & current Muay Thai coach at Element Jiu Jitsu in the Barossa Valley. Leigh, Pinky & Josh are all former abusers of different substances (ice for Leigh, heroin for Pinky & alcohol for Josh) but have all been sober & clean for many years. The boys sat down with Patty & very openly discussed their incredible & inspiring journeys from addiction through to sobriety. This was an extremely powerful & moving discussion between the 4 lads & hopefully it reaches anyone who may be struggling with some form of addiction & encourages them to seek help.
