Shaun Short - It's not just about the numbers

🎙 ALWAYS ANOTHER GAME

AAG was born over a decade ago yet the funny thing is I never knew it until recently. It was a term I used to bring myself back down after a poor performance or loss in Ice Hockey to help remind me that there is another game. I can’t dwell on the past I need to focus on the NOW and how that will help the FUTURE. Yet after retiring from the sport I loved, a lot of what made me mentally successful went out the window until one famous night. I was highly stressed on this infamous day and my parenting tolerance had reached it’s peak, so without shouting I sent the boys to bed early before it had the chance to reach that point. Only to come downstairs full of guilt and shame that I was not at my best and this is not what I wanted to be as a parent. Then it hit me... We get to go again tomorrow How can I be better for myself and my loved ones because that’s how I used to do things in my sporting career I would look for solutions not excuses and that is when it hit me that all the skills I learned playing sport can be used now in; 🧠 Parenting 🧠 Business 🧠 Self Improvement And now I get the pleasure of not only sharing my story via this personal development podcast but other incredible current and retired athletes, where they get to share the highs and lows of sport and most importantly how they use those learned skills in life away from the game Because unfortunately in my sport we have lost a number of incredible people who have lost their identity after playing and I wanted to remind you that you played a sport you don’t have to be the sport which can help you thrive in whatever you desire in life away from the game I am certain there is an episode for you Here in this personal development podcast is where you will delve deep inside the mind of an athlete so they can share the highs and lows of sport but most importantly how they utilise those skills to thrive in life away from the game. Our guests will be sharing insights from their sporting careers and where they are today because of them. This will help you see the skills you’ve gained over your life and where you can use them to be successful today You can always level up!

Jiu Jitsu - "I choose to strangle people and get beaten up"

Tuesday Jul 23, 2024

“I choose to strangle people and get beaten up…”

You may assume my latest podcast guest is cold blooded killer

And you’d be wrong

You’d even be shocked if you knew her more too

Because this easy-going straight shooter is apparently not one to be messed with

Because on today’s episode of Always Another Game I had the pleasure in going inside the mind of New Zealand’s Ju Jitsu star Bailey Walters

We talk about the culture differences around sport between our two countries and what makes the Kiwi’s so successful

And how Bailey truly believes “ I wouldn’t be who I am today without sport”

If you’re feeling brave enough to miss one then that one is on you

But for the rest of you smart people lets flip those headphones on and take a listen

See you there

American Football - Can being injured be a positive?

Tuesday Jul 02, 2024

American Football - Being injured is a positive

Controversial hey?
Yet sometimes when we’re forced to slow down we see things a lot differently
I remember my first serious injury and on my return I was fitter and stronger than before I got hurt because I was taught to see exercise from a different angle
And my latest guest on the Always Another Game Podcast shares a similar story
Sean Williams life has travelled in many areas yet his business thrives today not only through his sporting journey but the passion he found while injured
He is taking leaps to help support athletes reach their dreams to which once felt like it was impossible and I can’t wait for you to hear his journey today
I’m throwing you a Hail Mary with this one
So lets rush on over

🎙Always Another Game

Hi, i'm Shaun the host of the 'Always Another Game' Podcast

My journey from professional Ice Hockey player to self titled Behaviour Change Coach has been an interesting one

And it wasn't until recently that I accidentally fell upon the power sport has long after the game has finished

You see with anything in life you learn a skill and those skills are transferable into different topics

So I wanted to round up some troops and get other athletes to share their stories of what has made them so successful in life away from the game

Players from sports such as;

🏒 Ice Hockey

🥊 Boxing

🥋 Martial Arts

🏸 Badminton

🐴 Equestrian Vaulting

🤸🏻‍♀️Gymnastics

And many more

Who are all ready to share how sport has giving them life outside of the game

So why don't you pull up a seat and come and join us as we reflect on the highs and lows of sport

And learn how you can turn those lessons into your long term success

I'll see you over there

Shaun 🏒🧠
