Description
Welcome to Purpose Driven Movement | Inside the Performer’s Mind, a collaboration between Functional Training Institute and HeadCoach.
Hosted by Tarek Michael Chouja and Jay Hedley, this podcast is for sport, health, wellness, and fitness professionals who want to operate at a higher level.
Each episode takes you inside real conversations with coaches, athletes, and leaders in high performance. Together, Tarek and Jay explore both sides of performance — the physical and technical elements of training, and the mental skills, mindset, and leadership habits that support it.
You’ll hear insights on preparation, communication under pressure, coaching philosophy, culture, and building winning environments.
No fluff. No shortcuts. Just practical ideas you can apply immediately with your athletes, your clients, and your own performance.
If you are serious about your craft and want to coach better, lead better, and perform better, this podcast is for you.
