🎙 ALWAYS ANOTHER GAME

By: Shaun Thompson
  • Summary

  • 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 can’t 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. I was highly stressed on this infamous day and my parenting tolerance had reached it’s 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 that’s 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; 🧠 Parenting 🧠 Business 🧠 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 don’t have to be the sport which can help you thrive in whatever you desire in life away from the game 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 you’ve gained over your life and where you can use them to be successful today You can always level up!

    Teaching Athletes to Fill Their Mental Filing Cabinets

    AAG is back with it’s first interview episode of 2025

    And what better way to start than going inside the mind of someone who goes inside the athletes mind

    Colin Booth and I have crossed paths recently in our Ice Hockey World

    And he love and passion for his Athlete Neuro Performance is clear for everyone to see

    Colin realised that X’s and O’s weren’t for him in the coaching space

    And he wanted to figure out how one athlete could perform one task with ease yet another found it incredibly difficult

    This work has led him to forming his own business MG1 Elite Performance

    And now he gets to assists athletes improve their in game performance working on the finer details of their brain which returns an increase not only in their in play game but:

    Resilience

    Decision Making

    Smarter Actions

    Curiosity

    And arguably the most valuable

    It keeps them away from society pressures of the online social and gaming world which is having a profound negative affect on young people’s brains

    I know you’ve missed these

    So, what are you waiting for?

  • Do you prefer playing on the edge?
    Dec 3 2024

    Do you prefer Playing on the Edge?

    This was something that was drilled into us at a young age

    That to be up there with the best you have to play of edge

    Playing safe within sport wasn’t an option to stand out and succeed

    And if you think about it now everyone you likely look up to in life

    In some way stands out because they dare to be different

    To do things that the majority won’t do

    In today’s Shaun Short episode on the Always Another Game Podcast I talk about my experience with playing on the edge

    And how not only can that help you in sport

    But within your business and your personal brand too

    As it allows you to be your true authentic self and stand out from the crowd

    Ready to push the boundaries a little bit

    Go on I dare you
