One of the easier issues to fix is players arguing with officials. In a recent course, the penny dropped. A clear trigger, a clear prompt, and a consequence system the group understands. Add a bit of collective accountability, the behaviour changes. DM to join our next cohort.

The smallest behavioural changes often create the biggest performance gains. This April, our new Behavioural Science in Sport & Exercise series lands in Manchester and Belfast. forms.office.com/r/6D62bUYHKS

“Right, I’m going to hire for culture fit on my next hire.” Here’s the issue: You can’t hire for “culture fit” if you don’t control your climate. Most organisations talk about culture like it’s something you can install.👇 linkedin.com/posts/jasonlea…

Blame is the fastest human reflex. Learning is the slow, deliberate one. Revisiting Amy Edmondson’s research and mind-mapping it to my own behavioural analysis to share some truth: If failure ends in blame, the team stays stuck. If learning spreads, performance rises.

Learning in sport isn’t about cramming loads into every session; it’s about periodising cognition the same way we do for physical load. New content. Retrieval. Application. Micro → Meso → Macro. Coach the environment, and the environment coaches the athlete. #Coaching

@adamboxer1 Belonging is not a new construct. It is a behavioural outcome produced by environment design, reinforcement systems, interpersonal contingencies, and the environments cultural norms. It has always existed, long before Ofsted decided to label it.

There will be lots of people writing and talking about "belonging" over the coming years. Many of them will be charging money for their thoughts. Here are some simple tests to see if they are worth listening to: - Were they talking about it before Ofsted decided it's a thing? - Do they have any track record in the area? Where? Which school? How recently? - Are they referencing schools that have been successful in the area of "belonging"? What metric are they using for "success"? - Are they giving any *concrete* advice about *things you can actually do tomorrow* or is it all nebulous ideas? - Is the thing they are suggesting going to be relatively more impactful than things like improving corridor culture or tightening your behaviour policy? Just be careful. It's a broad enough term to mean pretty much anything, and is therefore ripe for manipulation and exploitation. Don't be easy to open your school's coffers.

Individual intelligence solves basic problems. Collective intelligence solves complex ones. Most “ability gaps” aren’t about talent, they’re about the environment people learn in. Build better environments → unlock better performance.

@JamesAFurey I totally agree with the sentiment. Push everyone as far as they can go. But before we talk about “hgh ability” and “low ability,” we need to be honest about how those labels are formed in the first place. Couldn't get this into my poor man's version of X, so cheated...

I'm actually fine with achievement gaps in education because there are gaps in ability. In fact, it might be the job of schools to widen these gaps as much as possible by taking those with the most ability and educating them to extremities of what they can accomplish. But they should also do the same for those with the lowest abilities. The gaps will persist, but more people will achieve more.

Behaviour-altering effects discussed on our recent Webinar with @paultreu and @darrenlewis8

I’m hosting a free webinar in partnershio with @AnalysisPro on the Invisible Data in Sport. 🎟️ Secure your free seat by joining the AGORA webinar & course mailing list. This also gets you access to our monthly webinar series starting Jan 2026 subscribepage.io/WebinarOne

Delighted to be working with @AnalysisPro to bring this new course to the coaching and #performanceanalysis community.

The new behaviour analysis in sport course has now been launched... Enrolling for Belfast, with dates for Manchester and London released... subscribepage.io/behaviour-in-s…

My biggest insight after 15 years? The magic doesn't happen within a single discipline like coaching or #performanceanalysis. It happens in the SYNTHESIS between them. Our new course has a framework built on the connections between performance, behaviour, and learning science.

We have spent years capturing data, now it's time to understand why it happens. Behavioural analysis course launching soon for sports coaches and analysts... #performanceanalysis #Coaching

@MichaelGerardD @martinirvine Delighted to have you on mate.. such an interesting story.

Probably the most special podcast that I’ve ever been involved with🙏🏻 A real mix of… ❤️Wellbeing 📈Performance Coaching 🗻Challenges 😊Caring 🤩Trying to make a positive difference @LearEdu & @martinirvine thanks for creating the perfect space YouTube m.youtube.com/watch?v=T_4620…

Been working with @MIrvinephoto these past few months 👊 What started as brand/content support has turned into exciting projects + a big launch next month. The way he’s captured both me + the startup has me buzzing. Can’t recommend him enough.

I’ve spent this week curating panellists & moderators for #TEDxBlackMountain Live, staying true to values of community, authenticity & ideas that spark action. Now it’s your turn → Don’t just watch TED. Experience TEDx Live in Belfast this Nov.

Tickets for TEDx Black Mountain Live drop later this week! We’ve lined up an unbelievable set of panellists across 3 themes, Brand You, Ideas Into Action & Connected & Well. 📅 11 Nov 2025 | Belfast 🎟 Don’t miss it. #TEDx

Delighted to share that our TEDxBkack Mountain event had the pleasure of Carl Frampton as a speaker. youtu.be/vkPQ-5sAvNY?si…

Just finished refining the ecosystem for our Behaviour Science workshops in the belief that your system builds behaviour. Our PACT Eco-System gives #Performanaceanalysts and coaches a blueprint to support motivation, develop capability, and trigger the right habits.
