Laurence Halsted - Seeing The Person Behind The Athlete Is Essential

My guest this week questions the idea of what success is and how most people can look at sport and life in a very different way.Laurence Halsted is a double-Olympian, a fencer who achieved European medals as well helping to take the GB fencing programme from amateur to professional and qualify for an Olympics in the team event for the first time in the modern era.He’s a former performance director for the Danish Fencing Federation and now Director of Mentoring at The True Athlete Project as well as a performance consultant and coach. This podcast turns into a fascinating conversation that evolves around topics such as mentoring, dealing with failure and doubt, life balance and the power of positive relationships, but we start with the idea of self-compassion.Show Notes: Deloitte - https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/explore/home.htmlKatie Warriner - https://www.theprimeclinic.co.uk/katie-warriner-psychologistSteve Peters - https://chimpmanagement.com/professor-steve-peters/London 2012 - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/london-2012Rio 2016 - https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/rio-2016Team Denmark - https://www.dif.dk/Percy Cerutty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_CeruttyHerb Elliott - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_ElliottFiji Sevens Rugby Team - https://www.fijirugby.com/teams/national-7s/fijii-7s/Sigatoka Sand Dunes - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigatoka_Sand_DunesChris Skelley Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-25-chris-skelley/Owen Eastwood Podcast Episode - https://benryan.co.uk/podcast/episode-14-owen-eastwood/The Second Arrow Buddhist Parable - https://mindfulnessmeditation.net.au/arrow/More About Laurence Halsted:Personal Website - https://www.laurencehalsted.com/The True Athlete Project Website - https://www.thetrueathleteproject.org/TeamGB Website - https://www.teamgb.com/athlete/laurence-halsted/41H6AKeLqla6fzkNgslUthBook on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3JNaJbTTwitter - https://twitter.com/laurencehalstedFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/laurence.halsted/photosLinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3DlWgRFWikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_HalstedListen & Subscribe to The Ben Ryan Podcast:Ben’s Website - http://benryan.co.uk/bio/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-ben-ryan-podcast/id1553400216Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3iUL1eLA7HFKt5gxO7Uf4j?si=oN9YN6uFRSSGbO6kR01ONQAmazon Music - https://amzn.to/3shGDnOTuneIn - http://tun.in/pkdsmSocial:Follow me on Instagram - https://bit.ly/2Z5QSitFollow me on Twitter - https://bit.ly/3ph5W7oFollow me on LinkedIn - https://bit.ly/3ah8FtvRead about me - https://amzn.to/2NLu0Ck
