<p>In the last of our short series, inspired by the Rugby League World Cup, we're joined by the humble, hard-working and high-performing Sam Tomkins, the captain and talisman of England’s men’s team who are aiming to win the coveted trophy later this month.</p><p> </p><p>In Sam Walker’s brilliant book, Captain Class, he identified that the best teams have great captains, those who play on the edge, make others better and step up at crucial moments. Sam is certainly a leader who does this and much more but, as he explained to us, this has not come easily.</p><p> </p><p>He was never identified as a great talent, having to pay to play at Wigan Warriors whilst holding down a full-time job as a green-keeper at a local golf course. Whilst he was there, he refused to compromise and kept his dream of representing his boyhood team alive. His willingness to do the work in the shadows, the hard, relentless grind in the toughest of sports distinguished him and prepared him for the moment when luck met opportunity and he got his shot.</p><p> </p><p>Sam was a central figure in Wigan’s renaissance, winning Grand Finals and Challenge Cups before deciding to stretch his horizons and test himself in New Zealand. He returned to Wigan and led them to further glory before once again, being stepping outside his comfort zone by moving to France with Catalan Dragons.</p><p> </p><p>Sam’s story is packed with incredible lessons, inspiring messages and insightful observations from his climb to the summit of world sport. </p><br><p>(HP Plus subscribers can enjoy a special extended version on this episode) </p><br><p>Listen back to the other episodes in the series;</p><p>Sam Burgess: https://apple.co/3sG3g7v</p><p>Lindsey Burrow: https://apple.co/3TPl6Rw</p><p>Jamie Peacock: https://apple.co/3WKhphZ</p><br><p>- - - - -</p><br><p>OUT NOW!

<p>This month on the High Performance Circle we speak to the incredible Brian Pennie. On October 8 2013, Brian experienced his first day clean after 15 years of chronic heroin addiction. Since embracing his second chance at life, he has become a doctor of neuroscience and psychology.</p><br><p>Whether it's our career, our relationships, our health, or more global concerns, we all face challenges in life. However, this is not where our struggles lie. Our struggles lie in our reaction to these challenges, and our illusion that we can control them. </p><br><p>Through personal anecdotes, science, and wisdom from Eastern philosophy, Brian’s Keynote will focus on how to accept what you cannot control and create space in difficult times.</p><br><p>Watch the full keynote on the High Performance Circle for free: https://bit.ly/BrianPennieHPCircle </p><br><p>It's easy to join the Circle - Just go to <a href="http://www.thehighperformancepodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thehighperformancepodcast.com/thecircle</a></p><p>You will get</p><ul><li>Weekly Monday Motivation Newsletter with Book Recommendations, Discount Codes, and more!</li><li>Exclusive video access</li><li>Keynote speeches that keep you learning more!</li></ul><p><br></p><p>- - - - - </p><br><p>OUT NOW!

<p>In the third of our series to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup, we are delighted to welcome Jamie Peacock, a man who has burnished his legendary status within the sport, by consistently doing “the things that require no talent” at the very moments when the pressure is at its greatest, the margins are at their narrowest and the competition is at its fiercest. In turn, he has acquired a medal haul which would fill a museum. He shares with us the transferrable lessons learnt along the way and which can be adopted into your own life.</p><p> </p><p>Jamie was a leader through his example and helped shaped high performance cultures at Bradford, Leeds and England. The foundation stone on which these were built were accountability. “Tell people what you are going to do, then do it” is his succinct message. “This is how trust is created, nurtured and maintained.” </p><p> </p><p>This is a powerful, profound and incredibly practical interview which will leave you ready to create your own high performance culture. </p><br><p>Listen back to the other episodes in the series;</p><p>Sam Burgess: https://apple.co/3sG3g7v</p><p>Lindsey Burrow: https://apple.co/3TPl6Rw</p><p><br></p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>High performance is many things too many people. For some, it's winning the coveted prizes. For others, it's being held in the highest esteem. Sometimes, it's about showing up, day after day, being courageous in the face of adversity. </p><br><p>Today's High Performance Podcast guest is one half of an incredible team who have achieved all those definitions of high performance. It’s our privilege to welcome Lindsey Burrow as the latest guest in our series to celebrate the Rugby League World Cup.</p><br><p>Lindsey's husband, Rob was a stand-out star of the sport, a titan in a world of giants. He was central to the all conquering Leeds Rhinos era of dominance. In 2019, he was diagnosed with the cruel illness of Motor Neurone Disease. It's a battle he chose to fight on his own terms.</p><br><p>Facing this battle alongside him was Lindsey, his childhood sweetheart and mother to their three children. In this moving discussion, she shares how identifying a sense of purpose - to give hope and inspiration to others - has been important in maintaining their strength; she offers insights into the mental ability she has learned to be able to provide a stable, living home for their family and finally, she explains why Rob's 'no tears' policy has given them a resolve in the face of the most unimaginable pain.</p><br><p>ALL SPONSORSHIP & SUBSCRIPTION INCOME FROM THIS EPISODE WILL BE DONATED TO MND ASSOCIATION.</p><br><p>If you would like to donate to MND, please give whatever you can to help find a cure: <a href="https://www.mndassociation.org/get-involved/donations/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mndassociation.org/get-involved/donations/</a> </p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
