1. #Ep 3 | The Athlete Coach Conversations No One Talks About

   Jul 1, 20261 hr 23 min

   "I'm gonna push you, or I'm gonna drag you. Either way, we're getting there." The Athlete Coach Conversation No One Talks About has Matt and Ant pulling back the curtain on the actual mechanics of the coach-athlete relationship: what athletes get wrong from day one, why "tired" can mean five different things depending on the athlete, and why treating a coach like a transaction instead of a partnership kills the relationship before it starts. They break down expectation management, why brutal honesty in training comments matters more than people think, how to actually have a hard conversation with your coach, and what separates the athletes who get real results from the ones who don't. Ant throws his wife under the bus. Matt throws Guy Crawford under the bus. Standard TPP podcast behaviour. If you've ever wondered what your coach actually needs from you to do their job properly — this is it.

2. #Ep 2 | The Untold Origin Story of TPP

   Jul 1, 20261 hr 4 min

   8 athletes to 124 in two years — and it started with one guy messaging "do you think this is a good idea?" The Untold Origin Story of TPP Performance: Matt and Ant tell the real TPP origin story. The early days, the growth spurt that almost broke the business, the case for investing heavily in community over profit, and the night-before-Iron-Man contract that made Ant a co-owner. Business and coaching, no polish. 💻 Join The Performance Project Coaching: https://performanceproject.typeform.com/apply?utm_source=btfl 📸 Follow The Performance Project: https://www.instagram.com/the_performance_project_/ 📸 Follow Coach Matt: https://www.instagram.com/mattb_performance/ 📸 Follow Coach Ant: https://www.instagram.com/moore_mvmnt/

3. #Ep 1 | The Hard Choices That Fixed Our Lives

   Jun 30, 202637 min

   Matt and Ant open the TPP Performance Project Podcast with the stories they don't usually lead with. the kitchens, the drinking, the grief, the moment each of them decided to stop outrunning their own life and start doing hard things instead. This is the coach's version. Not the highlight reel. Ant lost his dad suddenly at 19 and spent years in a downward spiral before endurance sports became the bridge back. Matt quit a Michelin star career on the spot, cold turkeyed sobriety on a flight back to Australia.
