E137 - Nick Cox: Why the future IS bright at Manchester United

Nick Cox is the Head of Academy at Manchester United. He has previously been an Academy Manager at Sheffield United FC. In this episode, Nick shares with us the key to high performance - people and relationships. For Nick, high performance is about finding those small windows of alignment where you are in flow, and then when you are not in that state your time should be spent rebuilding to return to it.

As Head of Academy, Nick offers insight into how to best lead and mentor children and young adults into becoming whole, well-rounded people. One key aspect that Jake, Damian and Nick discuss is how failure is crucial for children, and why their mentors or parents need to explain to them why ‘sitting on the bench’ is a positive thing.

Nick discusses the importance of challenging your outlook, tackling discomfort and doing what excites you.
