With Andrew Hyde full Science for Sport In this episode, strength and conditioning coach Andrew Hyde explores the pressures facing young footballers, from early specialisation to social media and parental expectations. He shares practical insights on how coaches and parents can better support long-term athlete development while keeping the joy in sport. 31:54 no This week, Richard Graves is joined by returning guest Andrew Hyde, a leading strength and conditioning coach and founder of Aesthetic Athletes, who works with elite and youth footballers across the UK.

In this honest and insightful episode, Andrew shares his experiences from working with young athletes and their families, discussing how to support their development without damaging their love for the game. Key topics you’ll learn about: * The difference between encouragement vs pressure in youth development * Why early specialisation might be doing more harm than good * The critical role of parents as stakeholders in an athlete's journey * How physical maturation affects performance (including issues like Osgood-Schlatter’s) * Why multisport participation isn't just beneficial, it's essential * Managing load, recovery and expectations during growth spurts * The impact of social media and performance comparisons on young athletes * Why long-term success is more about joy and patience than relentless training * Andrew's “Project Mbappe” warning, and why sitting back with a margarita might actually help * The importance of creating a supportive, multi-disciplinary environment around a child athlete Whether you're a coach, parent, or performance professional, this episode will reshape how you think about talent development in football and beyond.

Specifically they will be looking at: Importance of youth sport Developing a positive culture Maximising the impact of youth sport About Michael & Greg Dr. Michael McElhenie is a leading figure in leadership development and organizational change and is renowned as one of the world’s top experts in Emotional Intelligence (EQ). His profound impact across decades spans coaching global executives, world leaders, and elite athletes worldwide. With a robust background in behavioral neuroscience, psychology, embodied practices, and kinesiology, Dr. McElhenie skillfully balances roles as an advisor to executive teams, corporate boards, and sports industry leaders while coaching athletes to enhance their EQ. His influential teaching on organizational evolution, responsive intelligence, and the critical practices for living an emotionally intelligent life have touched millions. A versatile sports enthusiast with a deep-rooted passion for hockey, Dr. McElhenie’s journey was notably shaped by a transformative experience at a Canadian hockey camp in the late '70s. There, he encountered a professional goalie coach who introduced him to pivotal breathwork and focusing techniques, essential for emotional management both on and off the ice. These techniques have become Dr. McElhenie’s cornerstone as he guides others to achieve their utmost potential. Gregory Dunn is a dynamic fusion of an accomplished athlete, seasoned business executive, and skilled executive leadership coach, dedicated to enhancing human performance through the art of self-mastery. His fervent commitment to personal development drives athletes, business leaders, and teams toward the pinnacle of success. Forged in the competitive fires of AAA, Junior, and Canadian Division 1 hockey in Toronto, Greg intimately understands the rigors of balancing physical prowess with emotional growth. He sharpened his emotional intelligence as an athlete, guided by exceptional coaches and his own exploratory practices. But Greg's journey of self-improvement extends beyond the rink. He broadened his horizons through corporate and entrepreneurship experiences, enriched by leadership training, a professional coaching certification, and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership. Greg's approach is a holistic blend of emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and interpersonal growth, creating tailored strategies for success. At the heart of his philosophy lies a simple yet powerful tenet: embracing challenges and cultivating resilience are the cornerstones of ongoing personal development and achieving peak performance.
