The Win Well Podcast Series
How To Win Well
In these Human Performance podcasts, I am delighted to be joined by people who are sharing their stories of sustainable human performance, wellbeing, transitions and mental health, who are striving to win well for themselves and those in their care. The foundations of Win Well’s passion for sustainable human performance come from having spent over 20 years in elite sport supporting the wellbeing, lifestyle and transition needs of Great Britain's Olympic and Paralympic athletes and more recently the England Women's Football Teams.
How to Win Well: The Safe to Practise Playbook for Player Facing Practitioners
Win Well co-founder Jo Harrison shares how the Safe to Practise framework keeps player and athlete facing practitioners safe, and gives them the standards and confidence to do their best work. We cover data collection, professional training, confidentiality, supervision and why practitioner wellbeing has to be non-negotiable. For anyone in player care, performance lifestyle, player development, athlete wellbeing, HR, L&D or coaching. #playercare #performancelifestyle #performance #humanperformance #coaching #playerdevelopment
How to Win Well: Navigating Uncertainty and Change
In this solo episode, Dawn summarises her Brainz magazine article, where she draws on over 20 years in elite sport helping high performers navigate change and uncertainty. She explores how the most capable people sustain themselves through uncertainty rather than just pushing through it. Dawn looks at what real resilience is built on, and how identity, values and a sense of control shape the way we cope with change, whether the arena is a stadium or a boardroom. For leaders, athletes, practitioners and anyone going through change.

How to Win Well: Building A Holistic Pathway To Peak Performance With Double Olympic Gold Medallist Lizzy Yarnold
Double Olympic skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold talks openly with Dawn about the reality behind her gold medals in Sochi and Pyeongchang. She shares how she came close to burnout after Sochi, and how asking for a break, being "given the pen" to shape her own performance plan, and building an identity beyond sport helped her come back and win again. Lizzy also reflects on authenticity, vulnerability, and her move into executive coaching. For athletes, practitioners, coaches and leaders in high-pressure environments. #WinWellPodcast #LizzyYarnold #Burnout #AthleteIdentity #PerformanceLifestyle #SustainablePerformance

How to Win Well: Performance Wellbeing Podcast Toby Penty Olympic Wellbeing and Resilience Episode
In this episode Olympian, Coach and alopecia ambassador Toby Penty shares his journey of self-reflection and discovery throughout his time in elite sport. Toby shares his insights on how athletes must mature quickly when entering high pressure environments, how he shifted from the individualism of a singles badminton player to giving, mentoring, listening and giving back, and the positive impact that had on his career. We dive into his personal experience with alopecia, the loss of funding, trying to qualify for an Olympic Games during Covid, and how facing these challenges has shaped him both as an athlete coach and a person helping him grow in ways he never expected. And as we wrap up, Toby shares the powerful metaphor 'you are a mirror' that will leave you with plenty to think about. Toby's resilience throughout his journey is something we can all learn from. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
