Joint Dynamics - Intelligent Movement Series Joint Dynamics

Widely known as one of the top strength & conditioning Directors in the world, Simon Thomas curated his success at Super Rugby’s most successful team, The Crusaders under head coach Scott “Razor” Robertson (now the All Blacks coach). Simon led the performance department at the Crusaders for four years resulting in three Super Rugby titles in 2017, 2018, 2019 & a Super Rugby Aotearoa title in 2020. While experiencing success with the Crusaders he was also working with Maori All Blacks in the International windows & consulted in Japan, Brazil & Argentina throughout.


He left NZ to go to the US and build a new rugby environment in the MLR based on Austin Texas in 2021 and 2022. This was another valuable experience & Simon loved it in the US & the  exposure to the bigger US sporting environments as this was a big driver of wanting to leave his success behind him at New Zealand Rugby & take on a new challenge. 


He then came to Perth to work as Head of Performance with the Western Force Rugby team based in Western Australia under Simon Cron, and this is where this interview with JD podcast curator & host Andrew was held. 


Simon shares many fascinating stories from inside his time working in professional sport, the narratives that led to success at the Crusaders under the driving force of Razor, the athletes, and a mentor that influenced Simon greatly with her words, “live to create opportunities for others”.


This podcast interview with Simon is a rare gem for coaches, athletes and leaders wanting to take some inspiration from a leader in the industry who has worked consistently with other leaders!

Chris Howe of Authentic Adversity Podcast is a podcaster, firefighter, business owner (of Bond Street Tattoo) & a recovery speaker. 
Chris endured 17 long years of addiction to alcohol and drugs while working as a firefighter. He always felt he was different from everyone else in the department. He was heavily tattooed & spent his time away from the job with alcoholics, addicts & criminals. This double life filled him with self hatred & secrets. He’d been affected deeply by childhood sexual trauma & PTSD & had no place to put it. He bottled up his feelings & used massive amounts of alcohol and drugs to numb it all.
Eventually the internal pressure became too much, resulting in 3 suicide attempts in 3 years before finally finding recovery on the morning he wrote his final suicide plan.
Today, Chris is 13 years sober, a Captain with the Niagra Falls Fire Department & an addiction recovery speaker. He shares his story in & out of the prison system, leads a Buddhist inspired recovery group & hopes to inspire others through his actions & his new life in recovery.
In this raw & inspiring conversation with Andrew Cox | Joint Dynamics, Chris bares his soul, including his relationship with drugs & alcohol, heavy metal & punk music, tattooing, parenting, addiction, along with training and nutrition as a platform to recovery. He also shares the residual effects of years of abuse & of the person who saw Chris for what he was 17 years ago & the path he offered that allowed Chris to climb out of addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Chris lives, works and podcasts between Niagara and Tulum and is available for speaking engagements.
