Found living in a cave at just six years old after his father passed away, this man who will not be named got his nickname Bear from the local newspaper. Bear has lived an extraordinary life nearly dying many times working in the coal mines in the North of England, playing rugby in the UK and South Africa and entering the British Army earning his way up to Captain in the SAS. Not slowing down, Bear takes us through his fearless life from a young boy running 10km to school and back every day to sailing around the world for eleven-month with no prior experience. This episode is one fantastic story that I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to listen and record on the podcast. The Charity that Bear supports is Boots For All, a company that helps young boys in Africa with Food, Clothing and Keeping them out of the prisons. Check out the charity and add your support.

Episode 37 - Mindset, Challenges & Coaching in Professional Sports with Australian Basketball Player Natalie Burton

This weekend, Saturday 12th Sept 2020, I went away on an annual escape into nature to spend some time in silence to reflect on whatever comes up. This year was in Avon Valley, WA. Avon Valley is a national park in Western Australia, 47 kilometres northeast of Perth. It was named after the Avon River which flows through it. The area is an undulating plateau with the sides of the valley steeply sloping back to the river. We went on a 7 hours 30,000 Step Trek and found a beautiful spot to watch the sunset and the night sky light up with the milky way. In this episode, I give a quick update on my 12 weeks challenge and five truths I learnt about myself from the reflected practice as I delve into my unconscious through the power of nature, silence and additional support. I hope you enjoy today's episode, share it with your friends, join me on Instagram to chat. @martinmcphilimey

Ben is founder and builder of the West Coast Barbell Club in East Perth, WA. With over 60 members, Ben has managed to create a culture so great that he has barely needed to spend a penny on Marketing. His long list of 5* testimonials is a demonstration to what it means to be a part of the WCBC. As an ex Rugby Union player, he has integrated the ethos of a committed team sport into strength training, with his primary focus being in strength development while having an approach to guiding nutrition that has been proven time and time again to work when it comes to clients reaching and maintaining their desired body weight and body composition. We discussed how Ben managed to grow his business with honesty and commitment, as well as dividing into some of the specifics of strength training itself. I found myself resonating with Ben as we have a similar background, both being Ex Rugby Player, studying at University in the UK and having a high level of academic education in health, fitness and the medical field.
