Sting Like a Bee

Māori culture - is our superpower

Trevor tells the story of Māori culture in action at the Athens Olympics 2004. From getting lost while doing a recon mission to the city, to connecting with a Māori fella from Whangarei who spotted my moko / tattoo on my arm while crossing the street.

I'm back in camp

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593708/fan_mail/new] After a bit of a hiatus since my last episode - I'm back in camp (training camp) that is. Life, along with other things have been in the way since I last released a podcast. Here it is - nothing flash, just an update on getting back in the game. This episode speaks to the challenge of needing to change the narrative in your head. I have relied on my core internal dialogue of 'who I am' or 'who I think I am' to get me to here, but now what?    Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593708/support] Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui

Throwing in the Towel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593708/fan_mail/new] This episode explores the idea of 'throwing in the towel' - your coach in the corner has the ability at any stage of the fight to throw in the towel. You don't actually see the towel come flying in over the ropes that often. I have used this metaphor to downplay what it is like to be in the ring - when you are only ever seconds away from success or disaster.        Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593708/support] Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui
