How to Strive - with Nick Adkins
Hi I am your host and coach Nick.
With over 13 years of experience in professional sports coaching, I have dedicated my career to player and coach development across a variety of sports and industries. My expertise spans both on-field coaching and strategic development roles, where I’ve worked to enhance performance, build high-functioning teams, and foster long-term growth in athletes and coaches alike. In addition to my work in sport, I have also collaborated with businesses to transfer my coaching skills and principles into organizational development, helping teams and leaders thrive in dynamic environments through my transformational leadership approach. My commitment to continuous learning and fostering a growth mindset drives me to always pursue excellence in every aspect of my work.
How to Strive - with Nick Adkins
The Striver Table
In this reflective episode of How to Strive, Nick invites you to imagine your life as a table, with each leg representing a pillar of your life that supports what you’re striving for. Whether your table top is happiness, fulfilment, or your birthday BBQ vision, this simple metaphor can help you assess your current balance.
Nick shares his own four table legs: health, relationships, career, and finance, and introduces a practical exercise used in his mentoring programmes. Scoring each leg out of 6 to reveal where you might need to focus attention.
You’ll be guided through how to use these reflections to create process goals and daily intentions that help you move closer to your version of 6 out of 6.
Plus, Nick teases an upcoming episode on creating your own Striver Board. A powerful tool to turn intention into action.
Take a moment for deeper journaling:
- How would you score your table legs right now?
- What’s one step you can take today to strengthen a wobbly leg?
- Which legs help each other stay upright?
If you’d like some support in shaping your reflections into meaningful action, Nick and the team would love to hear from you at www.strive25.co.uk.
