    Archives Episode 1 - Professor Damian Hughes - Visualisation, Goal-Setting & Mindset in PE

    Welcome to the very first episode of The PE Umbrella Archives.
    This mini-series will run as a thread through the main PE Umbrella podcast as a means to re-visit classic episodes of the show that have truly stood the test of time.  As the show approaches its' 9th Birthday, I have reflected on the many incredible episodes from years gone by and just how much I learned from producing them and having those career-defining conversations.  I also acknowledge that there are newer listeners of the show who may never have heard some of the very best conversations from the shows roots.
    Thus, The PE Umbrella Archives will bring back the very best episodes from the early years of the podcast (2015-2018) and re-master them for your listening pleasure.  The messages and knowledge bombs are timeless, so what are you waiting for? Come and join me in The PE Umbrella Archives, episode 1, with the sensational Professor Damian Hughes!
