š 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 canāt 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.Ā Ā I was highly stressed on this infamous day and my parenting tolerance had reached itās 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 thatās 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; š§ Parenting š§ Business š§ 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 donāt have to be the sport which can help you thrive in whatever you desire in life away from the gameĀ 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 youāve gained over your life and where you can use them to be successful today You can always level up!

Shaun Short - What is sport about?
Thursday Jun 06, 2024
Thursday Jun 06, 2024
What is it really all about?
With sport comes a huge desire to win
that many take on the 'whatever it takes approach
even at a young age
But surely there is more to it than just winning?
Sure winning is important and in my opinion it is a key element of sport
But surely their is a bigger picture of creating upstanding citizens who have used sport as a pathway to live the life they desire
rather than seeing their life finish on the day they play their last ever game
Ā
Come and sit down with me as a share what sports has meant to me and how I see it now in the eyes of an athletes parent

Suicide Prevention isn't an easy topic to bring up let alone talk about it
But for any of the regular listeners you know there are two key reasons why Always Another Game was born
One was to show you how skills can be transferred from sport into your life away from the game
The Second is why we're here today and that is we have lost too many great people in sport who have taken their own livesĀ
My guest today is the founder and CEO of R;pple Alice Hendy MBE
She has an eye opening story and product that more people need to hear about as she bravely shares it with you today on this episode
If you care for yours or anybodies well being you will want to know about what R;pple is and how the work they're doing to save lives

Shaun Short - Learn when to rest and not quit
Thursday May 30, 2024
Thursday May 30, 2024
Isn't stress a funny thing
Ultimately is is healthy and essential to our existenceĀ
Yet where we go wrong is the build up of chronic stress which is extremely dangerous to our health
And on the other hand we know how great rest is yet we often get it so wrong
Today i'm braking down stress and rest into my traffic light system which was formed when I played a game of Ice Hockey
Because to be successful long term in our health and well being we need to know when to push and when to rest
and this system will help you balance it out
Lets glide on overĀ

šAlways 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 topicsĀ
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 gameĀ
Players from sports such as;
š Ice Hockey
š„ Boxing
š„ Martial Arts
šø Badminton
š“ Equestrian Vaulting
š¤øš»āāļøGymnastics
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 thereĀ
Shaun šš§
