The Shocking Truth About Why Your Team's Not Everything You Know It Could Be - Sir Clive Woodward

Today on the podcast we have Sir Clive Woodward, Grand Slam winning international rugby player and British and Irish lion, accomplished businessman. He was England's first professional rugby coach and led England to become 2003 World Championships in Australia, where Johnny Wilkinson kicked that iconic drop goal against the Aussies to clinch it for England.    He won 12 consecutive games against Southern Hemisphere sides, which was unheard of for a Northern Hemisphere side to do back in 2003, and I'm not sure if that will ever be repeated again. He was Director of Sport for Team GB at the Beijing 2008 Olympics and the London 2012 Olympics, and he's now busy producing a high performance talent factory within British Snow Sport, with the aim of producing that first gold medalist for Team GB.    In this episode we're of course going to talk about that iconic drop goal and what was going through Sir Clive's head at the time, but we're also going to focus on building elite performance tech teams, what it takes to win, and how to set and enforce high standards.    I hope you enjoy.     -----------------------------------------------------------------   Find Sir Clive: https://www.clivewoodward.com/ https://uk.linkedin.com/in/sirclivewoodward   Find James: https://www.linkedin.com/in/acceleratingexcellence/ https://www.instagram.com/jamesaking_/ https://jamesaking.com/   The Mindset App: While the app is under development, we have decided to provide access to the full content for free on YouTube for a limited time.
