À propos de ce contenu audio

"Rank F*****g Amateurs! But good dudes...." Al Davis (probably, if he ever met us....)


The world is awash with podcasts dedicated to the “1% of the 1%” that made or make their fame and fortune through sports.


This is not one of those podcasts.


Best known as non-professional American Football coaches, Nick Rockell and British American Football Hall of Fame Coach Mark Moss are absolute amateurs in in podcasting but always willing to try new things.

Join the long-time friends as they dig into the 99% of people that don’t get to rise to the publicly visible top of sports regardless of their time and sacrifice.


Maybe it’s a minority sport, they just aren’t good enough, tragedy came their way, or opportunities just haven’t materialised - the coaches find those that have achieved “success” in sport while living as regular Jimmy's and Jo's, talking about what sport means to them and its affect on their life and career.


In Season 1 the coaches revisit a period in their own coaching lives that makes them immensely proud - their combined13 years leading the London Blitz American Football program from 2003 through 2015 - talking to some of the standout players from teams in that era who have also gone on to stand out in their non-sport career.


Authentic (untrained), real (excuse us for that), and sometimes not for the faint-hearted (or impatient), we hope you enjoy this look at the genuine stories of the more conventional sports population.

      Show Notes - A Coaches Corner Episode


      Episode Summary: In this episode Nick and Mark reflect on the conversations recorded so far and the themes that keep emerging.


      They discuss the lasting influence of PE teachers and mentors, the decline of school sport, rising costs in youth athletics, and what happens when kids lose access to play, relationships, and real-world interaction. The conversation also dives into modern coaching — fundamentals vs schemes, creativity vs control, and why coaching younger players often develops better coaches.


      Key Talking Points:

      • Why PE teachers and early mentors matter so much
      • Access to sport and the impact of shrinking school programs
      • Sport, stimulation, and social development
      • Over-systemisation and the loss of creativity
      • Why coaching younger players builds better coaches
      • Relationship-driven coaching across all sports
      • Team bonding, trust, and shared experiences
      • Why fun still matters in amateur sport

      Show Notes - The Adam Seoudy Episode

      Episode Summary: In this episode of Jimmy & Joe’s Podcast, Nick and Mark are joined by Adam Seoudy for an honest conversation about life after intense competition.


      Adam reflects on parenting young athletes, the fine line between coaching and parenting, leadership burnout, and the realities of holding high standards in amateur sport. He also shares his journey from American football into MMA, what individual accountability really feels like, and why stepping away can sometimes be the healthiest decision.


      A thoughtful, wide-ranging episode about identity, pressure, balance, and finding purpose beyond the game.

      Key Talking Points:

      • Letting kids discover sport organically
      • The blurred line between coaching and parenting
      • Leadership burnout and the cost of high standards
      • Accountability in elite amateur sport
      • Individual vs team accountability
      • Knowing when to step away
      • Creativity, craftsmanship, and identity beyond competition

      This episode is funny, raw, and deeply relatable for anyone who’s ever poured themselves into sport, leadership, or competition — and then had to figure out who they were when the noise finally stopped.


      "Doing it properly has a short shelf life" — Adam on coaching, captaincy, and burnout

      Show Notes - The Matt 'Spoony' Davies Episode


      Episode Summary: In this episode of Jimmy & Joe’s Podcast, Mark and Nick sit down with Matthew “Spoony” Davies — football coach, leader, community builder, and executive coach.


      From growing up in rural Scotland to discovering American football after university, Spoony shares a journey shaped less by wins and losses and more by relationships, values, and shared experience. He reflects on his time as a player, coach, chairman, Great Britain Assistant Head Coach, and now Head Coach of the East Kilbride Pirates — alongside building a successful executive coaching business.


      This is a wide-ranging conversation about burnout, leadership, authenticity, and why being about it matters far more than talking about it.

      Key Talking Points:

      • Finding football later in life and falling in love with the community
      • Coaching juniors, seniors, and at GB level
      • Burnout, balance, and knowing when to step back
      • Building teams vs chasing wins
      • Leadership lessons that transfer from sport to business
      • Why relationships outlast results


      Honest, thoughtful, and full of perspective — this one’s for coaches, leaders, and anyone who’s stayed in the game for the people.


      “Don’t talk about it — be about it.” Matthew ‘Spoony’ Davies on leadership, burnout, and building teams that actually last.
