Today’s guest has seen success in many areas of his life
 
From representing Harlequins in Rugby

And through the community in his sport he is able to share his story today
 
Where he now helps young men with counselling and mentoring to ensure they don’t make the same early mistakes he did

Teaching Athletes to Fill Their Mental Filing Cabinets
 
AAG is back with it’s first interview episode of 2025
 
And what better way to start than going inside the mind of someone who goes inside the athletes mind
 
Colin Booth and I have crossed paths recently in our Ice Hockey World
 
And he love and passion for his Athlete Neuro Performance is clear for everyone to see

And he wanted to figure out how one athlete could perform one task with ease yet another found it incredibly difficult
 
This work has led him to forming his own business MG1 Elite Performance
 
And now he gets to assists athletes improve their in game performance working on the finer details of their brain which returns an increase not only in their in play game but:
 
Resilience
Decision Making
Smarter Actions
Curiosity
 
And arguably the most valuable
 
It keeps them away from society pressures of the online social and gaming world which is having a profound negative affect on young people’s brains
 
I know you’ve missed these
