  • Building the Champion Mindset: A Conversation with High-Performance Coach Stuart Wade

    Building the Champion Mindset: A Conversation with High-Performance Coach Stuart Wade
    2025/12/18
    In this episode, Coach Robb sits down with Stuart Wade, a high-performance mindset coach, clinical hypnotherapist, lifelong martial artist, and four-time world champion. Stuart shares the pivotal childhood moment that shaped his resilience, the psychology behind limiting beliefs, and how anyone — regardless of background, body type, or starting point — can unlock extraordinary potential. Whether you're an aspiring triathlete, a weekend warrior, or someone searching for purpose and confidence, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you take the first step and keep moving forward. Key Takeaways Stuart’s childhood disappointment failing his first black belt grading became the catalyst for resilience, discipline, and future championships. Curiosity is enough to begin. Action creates clarity, momentum, and confidence over time. Your “why” becomes the anchor on tough days. You don’t always need to know it upfront, but it becomes essential during low-motivation moments. Stuart breaks down how hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious to rewrite unhelpful patterns and strengthen mental resilience. Coaches, mentors, and supportive communities accelerate transformation. Help is a strength, not a weakness. Tiny successes — like learning to clip into a bike or finishing a small race — create confidence cascades that change lives. About Stuart: Stuart is a High Performance Mindset Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and lifelong martial artist with a bold vision—to elevate human potential at the highest levels in order to create lasting, global change. https://themindcoach.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-wade-the-mind-coach/ Social Links https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576327959322 http://instagram.com/rob_hardstone https://www.tiktok.com/@rob.hardston Call booking link: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/booking/sJX8bHdoj3P7cBoffJFC Green Mamba Tri Coaching Community Link: https://community.greenmamba-tri.com/communities/groups/greenmamba-tri-community HOST BIO Rob Hardstone, is a battle-tested IronmanU-certified triathlon coach with a knack for inspiring the everyday athlete.

  • The Catalyst: How a Near-Fatal Bike Crash Led to the Kona Ironman World Championship

    The Catalyst: How a Near-Fatal Bike Crash Led to the Kona Ironman World Championship
    2025/12/04
    Welcome sports lovers, Today we talk to Paul Bradford about his incredible journey from a childhood spent in the world of bodybuilding to becoming an Ironman World Championship competitor in Kona, Hawaii. Paul shares the story of a devastating accident that became the catalyst for his greatest athletic achievements and his philosophy on mindset, goal-setting, and never quitting. Key Takeaways From "Heavy Iron" to Triathlete: Paul discusses growing up influenced by his father, a local businessman and a champion bodybuilder, leading Paul to compete and win his father's former title, North Britain Champion. He explains the unlikely journey from not swimming as a kid to ultimately becoming a triathlete. The Road to Kona: Paul shares how he was welcomed into the triathlon community by local, inclusive athletes. He details the progression through race distances (sprint, Olympic, 70.3) until he achieved his goal of qualifying for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, a qualification that took him ten years to earn. The Catalyst: A Near-Fatal Crash: Paul describes the traumatic bike crash he experienced just four weeks before his planned competition, going from 25 mph (40 kph) to a sudden stop using his head as a brake. He suffered multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Paul reveals he was given only a 10% chance of survival and was airlifted by the Northwest Air Ambulance. Setting Audacious Goals: While recovering in the hospital, unable to walk, talk, or go to the bathroom , Paul set two seemingly impossible goals: to run the London Marathon with a "Good For Age" time within a year, and to go back to Kona. He emphasizes that this comeback was fueled by belief and conviction, not just hope. The Triumphant Return: Paul recounts his successful recovery, returning to work in six months despite an 18-month prognosis, and achieving his goal of running the London Marathon. He ultimately competed in Kona, Hawaii, two years after his accident. The Kona Race Day Battle: He describes the incredible heritage of the Kona course and the surprising challenge of being stung head-to-tail by a swarm of box jellyfish during the swim. The neurotoxin caused delirium, a drooping face, and uncoordination, leading him to fall in transition and creating large blackouts in his memory during the bike leg. Never Ring the Bell: Paul shares his family motto: "We never, ever ring the bell" (never quit). With the support of his family, he finished the grueling race with 20 minutes to spare, stating that the time was irrelevant—what mattered was getting the job done as a family. Paul's Coaching Philosophy: Paul now coaches athletes, focusing on helping them avoid the pain and speed bumps he encountered in his journey. His coaching brand is founded on the principle of "Win the Morning". He advises people to perform their training first thing in the morning—be it swim, bike, run, or a walk—to invest in themselves and become a better version of themselves before the rest of the world requires their energy.

  • From Fat Banker to Ironman Coach: The Unbelievable Transformation Every ‘Unlikely Triathlete’ Needs to Hear

    From Fat Banker to Ironman Coach: The Unbelievable Transformation Every ‘Unlikely Triathlete’ Needs to Hear
    2025/11/20
    Welcome sports lovers to this episode of The Unlikely Triathlete! Today we sit down with Matt, a former “fat banker” who transformed his entire life, became an Ironman, and now coaches athletes around the world through the TriDot platform. If you’ve ever thought triathlon was only for “other people,” Matt’s story will flip that belief upside down. We dive deep into: How one moment in the mirror triggered Matt’s radical transformation Why going straight from zero to signing up for an Ironman actually saved his life The mindset difference between everyday athletes and world-class finishers Why age is an advantage in endurance sports The truth about training volume (hint: you don’t need 20+ hours a week) Why equipment obsession is killing your progress How TriDot’s data-driven system changes the game for time-crunched athletes The REAL reason most people don’t hire a coach (and why they should) Ultra-running, Dragons Back, Lanzarote nightmares, and pushing beyond what you think is possible Matt also shares stories from Ironman, adventure ultras, and helping everyday people discover that they’re capable of far more than they ever believed.
