    Just Get S--t Done
    2022/04/11
    David Smith - “Just Truly Inspirational”All the feedback from David’s episode so far has talked about how inspirational and grounded he was. The trials and tribulations he has overcome in his life must have helped him become such a master of the mind. This can’t be taught in books, it has to come through living life.Always the student, never the master. David has a huge appetite for learning, which Phil thinks comes from a desire to heal himself both physically and mentally.David was always looking forward to the next goal in his life. Ed feels like this helped him always be driven and forward thinking. Phil agrees, giving examples of high-performance clients he has who do similar things.People who don’t do much and don’t look forward can get quite depressed. There are socioeconomic reasons for this that you need to consider.Gratitude is important. David was filled with gratitude, and it really helped him keep a happy demeanor. Don’t just turn up, show up. Be your best self with everything you do.Dave recalled that his sports psychologist in the past would always be in their office. This created a psychological barrier as well as a physical one, which meant that people would always feel weak if they went to the psychologist. It puts people off from going and getting the psychological help they need.Colin Jackson - “The importance of empathy”The importance of empathy. Colin showed a huge amount of empathy to Ed both during the podcast and when they met in the greenroom of “Question of Sport”.Tips for how to transition into ‘The Afterlife’. Ed is currently going through a transition from professional Athlete to ‘The Afterlife’ afterwards, and Colin really guided him through this. Putting yourself first is not being selfish. They are two different things. You need to put yourself first to help other people, as otherwise you will be the one who suffers. Being selfish is only thinking about yourself and not considering other people. Pete Kennaugh - “You never know what people are going through”Pete really needed to quit cycling, and it was entirely the right thing for him to do. Ed thought maybe it was a mistake and his life wasn’t going too well, but that was far from the case.Pete would use his emotion to fuel him, which was completely counter to the advice him and Ed were given by their sports psychologist. It worked for him though, which is all that matters.Pete said that the pressure had nothing to do with why he quitted. He loved being there, but he couldn’t shake his mental health issues.Pete says he wasn’t a nice person to be around, and gives a big credit to his family and agent. Ed finds this somewhat surprising, as he always thought he was a delight to be around. You never know what people are going through behind the scenes.Laura Kenny - “Just get s–t done”Environment is key. Spending time with your team will help you all perform better. Laura experienced this, and Phil and Ed have also seen it happen with the girls team they both sponsor - Pro Noctis Redchillis. Ed and Phil talk a bit about the camp they went on with the girls team, and how it left them all in a good place. Laura is very chatty and a great people person. This and the fact she is so proactive is what makes her an amazing leader. Laura just get’s s–t done. Phil is the same. Life is about decisions. Making the decision and taking actions off of the back of that decision is more important than whether the decision is right or wrong. There is a part of your stomach that connects to your vagus nerve which is where you get your gut instinct from. It’s why it is important to trust your gut. Research states if you trust your gut you are right 80–90% of the time. Future plans for the podcast They want to get someone from a business background on the podcast to talk about high performance. It will be useful to get someone to bring in that perspective. They would love to get a motor sport rider on the podcast. It would be great to have someone with so much experience dealing with flow states.

    How Laura has cultivated her resilience and ‘positive stubbornness’


    • You just need to chase your dreams and desires. You figure out the rest on the way. You may fail, but if you never try you never know.
    • When Laura fails she just goes on to the next thing. Laura remembers breaking her shoulder in 2021, and even on the way to the hospital she was planning her next steps in cycling.
    • Laura does get nervous before races, but she doesn’t let this stop her. She feels the same about doing talks on stage, it makes her feel physically sick beforehand.
    • Laura can be assertive when she wants something. Ed believes this makes her a good leader as it inspires other people and keeps momentum going. She just gets things done.
    • Stay true to yourself. You need to do things for yourself and not for other people. That’s the only way you can make sure you love what you do.

    Ed and Laura’s shared cycling experience


    • Ed talks about how he knows Laura and her husband, Jason Kenny. They met whilst cycling for Britain, but didn’t have too much interaction due to the means and women's training teams being separate.
    • Ed and Laura both now have experience from the “other side” of the coach-athlete relationship, which has given them perspective on the matter.
    • Laura talks about how she has looked up to Ed since Beijing. She related to him, and he inspired her to one day also become a professional cyclist.
    • Without a team, cycling can be a lonely sport. Ed would take a bullet for anyone he cycled with. Laura thinks they wouldn’t have won the 2012 Olympics if it hadn't been for the connection they made as a team. These bonds carry you through the tough times.

    Laura and Jason - Power Couple


    • Laura has a family, a dog, a husband, and also manages to still be a professional athlete. Ed finds this incredible, and asks her how she does it.
    • Laura thinks it may be because she is a bit mental. She thinks it’s quite crazy that she decided to have a baby and go back to being an athlete after. But she can’t help it. If she really wants something, she rarely gives up until she has it.
    • She gets a lot of help. Her and Jason’s parents help a lot when things get too hard.
    • Laura and Jason are opposites. Jason ums and ers about things, whereas Laura gets things done. Jason doesn’t like talking to people whereas Laura loves it. Because of this, they play to each other's strengths.
    • Laura considers her child Albert to be her greatest achievement. He has come out as an amazing kid, even though Laura feels her and Jason don’t put that much effort into parenthood.

    Laura’s Future Plans


    • Laura is preparing for the Paris Olympics. Her coaches think she is in the best form she has ever been.
    • Laura doesn’t think she could be a coach in the future. She is too harsh, and just tells people to get on with it when they are in pain. Phil thinks that’s just a certain type of coaching style that is actually lacking a bit more in modern coaching.

    Pete’s Cycling CareerPete loved cycling from a young age. That’s what made him work so hard to make a career out of it. His passion. It was internal, he doesn’t feel he was ever pushed too hard externally.Pete used to visualize the race all the time, unprompted. He didn't get trained to do this, it was really natural. He would also visualise people who didn’t believe in him or confrontations which annoyed him when he was younger, which he would use to fuel his performance. He was running away from the haters.During training, Pete and Ed would often have to do 3 hours of riding on the velodrome as punishment. Ed once had to do a 7 hour long ride! You wouldn’t get away with that today.In his early career, Pete knew that even in the worst case scenario he would be happy. He would get booted from the team and would go home to the isle and mann and become a postman, and that was fine. Ed remembers Pete saying this right before the 2012 olympics in a conversation they had. He didn’t always feel the pressure of cycling.The decision to retire is like breaking up with someone that you love. Ed got there because he was getting older and couldn’t picture going on. Pete got there cause he lost the love for professional cycling. It was a hard decision for both of them to make, as they love cycling.You can feel a big sense of imposter syndrome when going into new roles after retirement. Ed repeats Colin Jackson’s advice from the previous episode: ‘It’s okay not to be great at something in the beginning.’. It’s okay to start again.When the pressure of cycling as a profession is gone, the childlike joy comes back. Pete doesn’t cycle as much as he used to though, he doesn’t have the same eagerness for it he had as a kid.Pete’s early retirementThe issues came when he stopped doing track, as Pete wasn’t finding it fun without being in groups. After 2012 he started cycling on the road. 2013 was okay because it was all still new, and an injury meant the beginning of the year was slow. He went to a training camp and was eventually picked for the Tour De France, which he absolutely loved. He got a 2 year contract after the tour, but only did one race as his injury came back.The pressure came with the contract Pete got after the tour. 2014 was a pressure filled year, as he was getting paid a lot and it started to feel more business-like. He cycled because it was his passion, but when the money got involved he lost his love for it. The money put the burden in there, and he felt scrutinized and watched. He started questioning whether it was for him, or whether he was happy.Pete’s mental health and some specific events led to him leaving. He wasn’t sure he wanted to keep going for a while, way back in 2014, but decided with his wife to go with it a bit longer and see whether things got better. Between March and the end of May he would always get these really negative thoughts, that were very overwhelming and he couldn’t see past them. They came back in 2015 and he couldn’t face going on his bike because he was worried bag performance would make him sink deeper. Pete did manage to win races when these periods passed, and won the nationals in 2014 and 2015. It would just come back between March and May every year. He kept hoping he could stop it from coming back but it always did, and he would work really hard in winter to keep the momentum going but it just wouldn’t work.It got worse every year. Although he would still get good results, between march and the end of may he could barely do 10km on the bike. When it came back in 2018 he decided he was retiring, as he started to lose the power in his legs. He knows now that it was irrational, but he didn’t realise this at the time and he couldn’t be told otherwise.Pete, still to this day, doesn’t really know what happened, and doesn’t know why it came every year at the same time. Pete’s biggest regret was not checking in with himself at the time he decided to retire. He wasn’t good at slowing down and looking within. It wasn’t a skill he had developed, and he wasn’t in the low pressure environment he felt he needed to be in. He just didn’t have the time.Pete’s life post sport - CoachingOnce Pete retired, he finally had the space to reset and reflect. He could finally settle down and focus on self care. He started to understand the world and life more. It gave him perspective. He feels like he took his cycling life for granted at the time, but he is a much nicer person to be around now.It took Pete a very long time to let go of being a cyclist. Only in the last 6 months has he truly stopped seeing himself as a professional cyclist.If it wasn’t for Andrew McQuaid, Pete doesn’t think he would be where he is today. Andrew McQuaid is Pete’s agent, and really helped him through the darkest moments.Pete really enjoys working with young cyclers on Trinity Cycling. He remembers his training days being like university, ...
