What really separates elite athletes from everyday gym-goers?

Is it genetics, mindset, training, or something else entirely?

In this episode, I sit down with Neal Lattimore, a strength & conditioning coach with experience across every level of the fitness world. From working with professional footballers at Peterborough United, to educating future fitness coaches, to now owning his own gym. Neal has seen what works, what doesn’t, and what truly moves the needle for performance and transformation.

We discuss:

• The mindset differences between elite and everyday athletes
• What general population clients should and shouldn’t take from pro sport
• How Neal’s experience in education shapes his unique coaching style
• What he’s learned from running a gym vs being part of a sports institution
• The universal habits that create results—no matter your level

If you’re serious about progress and want clarity on what actually matters,this one’s unmissable.

What separates those who transform and thrive from those who stay stuck?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by therapist, hypnotist, and mindset specialist Liz Lorimer (Yellowrosehypnotherapy) to dive into the psychological side of performance and transformation.

We explore her personal story—how sport shaped her identity, what led her into therapy and hypnosis, and the deep work she now does with clients looking to break through their mental limits.

You’ll learn:

• The key psychological pillars behind lasting change
• Why identity, self-belief, and emotional regulation drive performance
• How the subconscious mind plays a role in fat loss, discipline, and consistency
• How to rewire self-sabotaging patterns and unlock your next level

If you want to upgrade your mindset as much as your muscle—this episode is for you.
