    • From Broken Collarbones to World Titles: The Professional Evolution of Two-Time Xterra Champion Bradley Weiss
      Jan 22 2026
      Hey there sports lovers, on todays episode Rob sits down with a true heavy-hitter in the multisport world: two-time Xterra World Champion and professional triathlete, Bradley Weiss. The conversation explores Bradley's transition from broken collarbones on the rugby pitch to winning multiple 70.3 titles and course records on the road. Bradley opens up about his "technical soul," explaining why he feels more at home navigating rocks and trails in Nature’s Valley than on the concrete of a marathon. Key Takeaways The Power of Small Gains: Bradley emphasises that the "addiction" to triathlon often starts with the rapid improvements seen at the beginner level. Don't Start with an Ironman: He suggests that the sport feels less daunting when newcomers focus on grassroots sprint distances rather than jumping straight into long-distance events. The "Why" Behind the Race: When facing a DNF (Did Not Finish) or a setback, Bradley recommends returning to the original reason you chose to do the sport to maintain perspective. Resilience Under Pressure: He shares a pivotal moment from the 2023 World Championships where he fought back from a five-minute drafting penalty to finish seventh, proving that a bad moment doesn't have to define a race. Community Spirit: Whether at the elite or amateur level, the triathlon community is defined by a willingness to help others, from lending goggles to sharing training advice.

    • Building the Champion Mindset: A Conversation with High-Performance Coach Stuart Wade
      Dec 18 2025
      In this episode, Coach Robb sits down with Stuart Wade, a high-performance mindset coach, clinical hypnotherapist, lifelong martial artist, and four-time world champion. Stuart shares the pivotal childhood moment that shaped his resilience, the psychology behind limiting beliefs, and how anyone — regardless of background, body type, or starting point — can unlock extraordinary potential. Whether you're an aspiring triathlete, a weekend warrior, or someone searching for purpose and confidence, this conversation is packed with practical insights to help you take the first step and keep moving forward. Key Takeaways Stuart’s childhood disappointment failing his first black belt grading became the catalyst for resilience, discipline, and future championships. Curiosity is enough to begin. Action creates clarity, momentum, and confidence over time. Your “why” becomes the anchor on tough days. You don’t always need to know it upfront, but it becomes essential during low-motivation moments. Stuart breaks down how hypnotherapy taps into the subconscious to rewrite unhelpful patterns and strengthen mental resilience. Coaches, mentors, and supportive communities accelerate transformation. Help is a strength, not a weakness. Tiny successes — like learning to clip into a bike or finishing a small race — create confidence cascades that change lives. About Stuart: Stuart is a High Performance Mindset Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and lifelong martial artist with a bold vision—to elevate human potential at the highest levels in order to create lasting, global change. https://themindcoach.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-wade-the-mind-coach/ Social Links https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61576327959322 http://instagram.com/rob_hardstone https://www.tiktok.com/@rob.hardstone Call booking link: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/booking/sJX8bHdoj3P7cBoffJFC Green Mamba Tri Coaching Community Link: https://community.greenmamba-tri.com/communities/groups/greenmamba-tri-community HOST BIO Rob Hardstone, is a battle-tested IronmanU-certified triathlon coach with a knack for inspiring the everyday athlete.
