    439: Why Nutrition Advice Doesn't Work | Daniel Davey Part 2

    In Part 2 of our conversation with performance nutritionist Daniel Davey, we go deeper into the psychology of behavior change and why traditional nutrition advice often fails. Daniel shares profound insights on coaching the person, not just the problem, and how childhood experiences shape our relationship with food. What You'll Learn: Daniel opens up about the influences that shaped his coaching approach—from his father's extraordinary listening skills to working with Jim Gavin and Dublin's five-in-a-row All-Ireland winning team. He reveals why the hardest part of his job isn't the nutrition science, but helping people realize they have the answers within themselves. We explore the complex relationship between identity, body image, and performance—including how male athletes struggle with body image in ways that often go unaddressed. Daniel shares vulnerable stories about his own journey and why sometimes athletes need a "boot in the hole" while others need a hug. Key Topics: Why 3-5 minutes is enough for nutrition advice, but 55 minutes is needed to understand the personThe difference between knowing what to do and being able to do itHow childhood experiences shape our relationship with foodIdentity vs. body image: Understanding the distinction in elite sportWorking with professional vs. amateur athletes: What actually changesThe alcohol conversation: Culture, masculinity, and performance in Irish sportWhy confidence—not meal plans—is the ultimate outcome of good nutrition coachingSimple environmental changes that support good nutrition (hint: fruit baskets and microwaves matter)Perfect for: Coaches who want to understand behavior change beyond their sport, practitioners working in nutrition or lifestyle coaching, and anyone interested in the deeper psychology of performance. Daniel challenges coaches to examine their own relationship with food and asks: Are you embodying the behaviors you want to see in your athletes? This conversation goes far beyond nutrition—it's about what it means to truly support human performance.

    438: Why Nutrition Culture Fails (And How to Fix It) | Daniel Davey pt 1

    Join us for an in-depth conversation with performance nutritionist Daniel Davey, who has worked with elite teams including Dublin senior football and Leinster Rugby. In this episode, Daniel shares the realities of creating lasting cultural change around nutrition and lifestyle habits in high-performance environments. What You'll Learn: Daniel reveals why presentations and workshops alone don't create change, and why the real impact comes from ongoing conversations and relationships with athletes. He discusses the critical role of leadership buy-in, the importance of meeting athletes where they are, and why milk in the fridge and bananas on the counter might matter more than elaborate meal plans. We explore the often-overlooked reality that even elite athletes—including national record holders—struggle with basic nutrition habits. Daniel shares powerful stories about what it means to truly care about athletes' development, from showing up at games to understanding someone's lemon zest and honey dressing. Key Topics: Why coach commitment is the single most powerful driver of nutrition cultureThe limitations of one-off workshops vs. continuous supportHow to have meaningful conversations that create lasting behavior changeUnderstanding energy management: physical, mental, and emotionalThe pyramid of nutrition priorities (and why everyone wants to start at the top)Red, orange, and green days: a simple framework for planning your weekWhy the real work isn't about meal plans—it's about understanding the personPerfect for: Coaches, performance staff, athletes, and anyone interested in creating sustainable change in high-performance environments. Whether you're working with professional athletes or building culture in any competitive setting, Daniel's insights will change how you think about nutrition, behavior change, and what it really means to support performance.

    436: Coaching Like a Scientist: Finding Your Best Self and Making Values a Tool | McKenzie Ridgely Part 2

    🧪 Coaching Like a Scientist: How Observation & Values Led to a State Title What does it mean to "coach like a scientist"? In Part 2 of our conversation with first-year varsity head coach and podcast editor Mckenzie Ridgely, we explore the evolution of leadership that goes far beyond personality. Mckenzie reflects on her journey from thinking leadership meant being the "loudest and meanest" to realizing that her best self involves observing how her players respond and shifting her methods to meet them where they are. We dive deep into the "Team Manifesto"—how co-created values became the ultimate tool for accountability during a high-stakes championship run. In this episode, we discuss: Evolving the "Best Self": Why coaching based on personality alone is a trap, and how to adapt your energy to get the best out of others. The "Scientist" Approach: Learning to treat every practice and game as an experiment, using player feedback (verbal and behavioral) to guide your next move. Values as a Tool, Not Just a Poster: The critical moment Mckenzie used team values to turn around a failing scrimmage and set the tone for the season. The TOC Safety Net: The power of a non-judgmental community for testing new systems and finding support in the "mind games" of leadership. The Story of the Season: Implementing team journaling to help players reflect on their growth and the memories that led to a State Championship. Key Resources Mentioned: Annie Duke on Decision-Making (Podcast Episode) Jennifer Garvey Berger on Mind Traps (Podcast Series) The TOC Journal Connect with us:Join the FREE TOC Coach Community to access the same tools Mckenzie used to lead her team to a state title. 👉 Visit to https://www.skool.com/toccoach/about learn more! #CoachingCulture #Leadership #TeamCulture #StateChampions #FieldHockey #GrowthMindset #CoachLife #TOCcommunity
