REBROADCAST: Athletes Authority ON AIR | Ep. 162 - Dr Craig Harrison - Genetics Isn't Enough & Understanding Psychosocial Factors In The Youth Space
This is a rebroadcast of episode 162 of Athletes Authority ON AIR podcast, featuring Dr Craig Harrison.
"Craig gives us a breakdown of his coaching background, why he chose to work in the youth space over other areas of physical development, how his diverse background set him up for success, how he implements mental skills or the "unseen" side of training into his programming, how environment and parenting plays a massive role in the success of an athlete plus a whole lot more."

Dr Sarah Chantler on Teaching Food Skills to Young Athletes
Dr Sarah Chantler is a registered dietician and performance nutritionist. Originally from South Africa, Sarah is now based at Leeds Beckett University in the UK where she is a senior lecturer and applied practitioner. Sarah's fascinating work highlights why we should prioritise teaching food skills over food knowledge to the adolescent athlete. We dig into this idea during the episode and Sarah gives some great examples to use with your athletes.
We also discuss the role of the coach in nutrition, how age should impact what we focus on and the value of snacking as a starting point for younger kids, how the sporting system can influence poor nutrition, appetite and the challenges that come with higher training loads, the power of role modelling in nutrition, social media, and why we should all be having more conversations about food.

Royston Dsouza on the Muck of Mumbai, Movement Skill, and Keeping the Joy in Sport
"Grass was a luxury, if you saw grass, you'd go and roll in it."
My conversation today is with Royston Dsouza. Hailing from India, where he spend much of his childhood playing football on the streets of Mumbai, Royston is now based in Auckland, Aotearoa, where he works as a movement skill coach and as a football coach. Royston played top level club football in India for five years before quitting and making the move to New Zealand to study.
In this conversation, I chat with Royston about his joyful childhood, including his wide range of movement experiences and playing sport based on the season. Roy describes the difference between football in New Zealand compared to India and what led to his decision to quit the game he loved. We also chat about Roy's approach to developing movement skill and how he aims to keep kids in sport.
You can check out Roy and his awesome work @Roystondsouza on instagram.

Customer Reviews
Best podcast for youth athletic development
I have pretty much listened to the whole back catalogue of this podcast and can genuinely say that Craig’s conversations with thought leaders and practitioners is absolutely stunning. His ability to guide and be guided by guests allows listeners to engage in the ponderings and ask their own questions or solve their problems. As his style has changed from the early episodes he has broadened what areas of interest the guest finds important but is also able to extract what started their passion without it being to overt. If my family was in the North Shore I would have no problems engaging my young children in his programmes and be assured that their long term development needs were being met. Kia kaha, Kia Maia, Kia Manawanui...Keep it up Craig!
