This special episode brings together the key 'game-changing advice' from each guest in Series 1 of the Game Plan Coaching Podcast. It is a quick way to catch up with some of the headlines from the podcasts, and the insights that can genuinely shift how you coach, lead, and support the people you work with.

I’ve absolutely loved recording this first series. I’ve learnt so much from every guest and I’m really grateful for the generosity, honesty, and wisdom they’ve shared.

Here’s the headline advice from each guest on the podcast:

Martin Dighton: Stop Coaching

Fran Wally: Honesty and Trust Must Be a Two-Way Street

Tom Coyd: Build Connection and Clarity with Your Players

Nicky Harverson: Record Yourself Coaching and Listen Back

Daniel Lysett: Reach Out, Connect, and Start Culture Early

Joe Baker: Use Data to Design Better Environments, not to Predict Talent

Mark Blundell: Truly Believe in the People You Support, or Be Honest if It’s Not the Right Fit

Paul Bodin: Keep Challenging Yourself and Keep Learning

Bobby Scales: Coaches Need Coaching Too, Always Work on Yourself

Jean Côté: Focus on Short-Term Development of People, Not Just Long-Term Performance

Russ Smith: Involve Stakeholders and Change Your Perspective, Literally
