Summary

Nick Cox is the Head of Academy at Manchester United. He has previously been an Academy Manager at Sheffield United FC. In this episode, Nick shares with us the key to high performance - people and relationships. For Nick, high performance is about finding those small windows of alignment where you are in flow, and then when you are not in that state your time should be spent rebuilding to return to it.

As Head of Academy, Nick offers insight into how to best lead and mentor children and young adults into becoming whole, well-rounded people. One key aspect that Jake, Damian and Nick discuss is how failure is crucial for children, and why their mentors or parents need to explain to them why ‘sitting on the bench’ is a positive thing.

Nick discusses the importance of challenging your outlook, tackling discomfort and doing what excites you.

0:07.6	This podcast reminds you that it's within your ambition, your purpose, your story, it's within.
0:14.1	We just help you unlock it by turning the lived experiences of the planet's highest performers
0:18.8	into your life lessons. So right now allow myself and Professor Damien Hughes to speak to the
0:23.8	greatest leaders, thinkers, sports stars and entrepreneurs on the planet so they can be your teacher.
0:29.2	And remember please this podcast is not about high achievement or high success.
0:33.6	It's about high happiness, high self-worth and taking you closer to a life of fulfilment, empathy
0:40.1	and understanding. And before we get going I just wanted to let you know that I had a cool little
0:44.7	experience this week actually. As you know, Lotus cars are the founding partner of the High Performance
0:49.6	podcast. If like many people you're totally new to high performance, we started just before the
0:54.7	pandemic it actually back in early 2020 and lots of people say you must have got your podcast out
1:03.2	so quickly when you realise we were going into a pandemic and that people would need some
1:07.9	positivity in their lives. The truth is that we didn't like anyone know that was going to happen
1:13.4	and actually it was way back at the end of 2019 that myself and Damien got together and went
1:18.2	and recorded the first episode and it was at that point that we needed someone to help us out
1:22.5	because you know it costs money to create a podcast and deliver a podcast and we had no way of
1:28.0	showing people what we were offering. And I spoke to Lotus cars, I live in Norwich just a few miles
1:32.6	from the Lotus factory and going to see Lotus and explaining what high performance is and why we
1:36.7	would love them to be a founding partner and help us to fund creating high performance.
1:41.8	They put their hands in their pockets and with no real idea of what they were getting into they
1:46.8	stood by us on high performance. It's something that we will never forget and we're so proud to have
1:50.3	them to this day as our founding partners and this week I had a chance actually to go up and have
