Sport Stories Podcast - Winning without Losing

Apr 27, 2020

Here's a link to my Sports Stories Podcast with David Levine: 

Colin Wilson - Former international Table Tennis player, now Performance Coach, Consultant and Commentator

Winning without losing; Enjoying sport; From riding a bike to international Table Tennis Player; Competing with the Best in the world; Transitioning from being an Athlete; Bouncing back from illness; Coaching your own child to high performance standards; Parental influence on sport performance and talent development; Appreciating the performance Journey; Building a sports business; Business Athlete principles; Importance of financial security, and so much more!

Such a wide ranging and informative conversation with Colin Wilson. Colin would like nothing more than to help others and is very open in what he shares. There are not many people in sport that have had the breadth and depth of experiences that he has.

Colin is a deeply experienced and skilled developer of senior leaders, coaches and athletes – and their systems. Originally a table tennis player with over 100 England Junior caps, a European Youth Bronze medal and two senior Commonwealth Silver medals, Colin then coached England teams at Women’s Men’s, Girls and Boys level. He moved seamlessly into corporate management consultancy and has provided culture change in global IT, banking and FMCG. In sport he has been working with athletes and their coaches to Olympic level since 1999, working with National Junior and Senior Coaches in over 20 Olympic and non-Olympic sports. Colin now acts in business as a qualified Supervisor of executive coaches, mentors, and organisation consultants with a particular interest in psycho-traumatology. He still coaches table tennis, taking players from beginner to international level. Recently an interim CEO in the adult social care sector, he teaches mentoring for the British Equestrian Federation and mentors for the football Premier League. His technical background is in economics and statistics.

I am confident that you will both enjoy what he has to say but as importantly you will take something from it. Some inspiration, some motivation as to how to win without losing or just the recommendation of a great book!
