| 1:23.0 | Here's what you can expect on today's show. |
| 1:26.0 | I've been here about two days and everyone I spoke to, every editor department kept quoting this best in class line. |

| 1:44.0 | You got a gym where you couldn't swing your can at. You got a training pitch with a hill in it. You got no flood lights so you can't train in the winter when it's four o'clock in its dark. |
| 1:52.0 | I said, the restaurant is a disgrace. What a horrendous environment. No one want to eat in there. You got 49 quarter cabins. |
| 1:58.0 | Is that best in class? Because if that is, we've got a problem, because we are at different scales of what best looks like. That's what the place was. |
| 2:09.0 | This episode of the High Performance Podcast is sponsored by Get Into Teaching. And you know, we've worked with Get Into Teaching now for the last couple of years, because we know that so many of you teachers listen to this podcast. |
| 2:21.0 | We love that and we respect the amazing work you do and we stand alongside you as you inspire the next generation. |
| 2:27.0 | And I was thinking, if I was a teacher, what would I teach and how would I teach it? I've actually been inspired by a teacher called Mr. Weeks, who reaches out to us regularly to tell us that he's created High Performance Lunch Times at his school. |

| 2:54.0 | I would also make sure that I definitely include non-negotiables in my teaching, because I think that non-negotiables are a thing that children can really simply understand. |
