Episode 574: The secrets & life of a MotoGP Photographer
8:16
8:28
8:45

Neil MorrisonHOST
So how do you make it into the MotoGP paddock as a photographer? Because, um, from what I gather, it's, it's a competitive field, a competitive business, and, um, it could be quite cutthroat.

Rob GrayGUEST
Yeah, it is, it is competitive, but I wouldn't want that to dissuade anyone, right? So I think with photography, and it's not, this isn't just about MotoGP, this is just in general.

Rob GrayGUEST
And what I mean by that is, like, if you're interested in shooting bikes and you wanna take really cool bike content, then don't wait for, you know, you can't just go and apply for a job at Red Bull or something, but just go and do it.

Tom HartleyHOST
And almost if a coach was reflecting on their own practice, what might they notice if they were more information driven with the way they designed the activities?
R
8:26Rob GrayGUEST
Yeah, so the sport I was, when I said that was, I was watching basketball practice.
R
8:30Rob GrayGUEST
And you think about basketball practice, your coach, you're putting into play, you basically tell, you practice it, usually put it, practice it with no defense.
R
8:48Rob GrayGUEST
Because you told them to, not because the environment is offering that, right? What we want, there's not information in the environment telling them it's a good time to pass now.
R
8:59Rob GrayGUEST
They're doing it because you told them to, which I think is an important distinction.

Tom HartleyHOST
And if the constraints are then doing the teaching, how does that change the role of the coach?

B
9:43Billy AllenHOST
Can you explain what intrinsic dynamics are and why it's important to identify them?
R
9:53Rob GrayGUEST
It comes from a really basic research and v- porting it up to sports has been a little bit difficult.
R
9:58Rob GrayGUEST
But, but it's basically people kind of have a preferred way they wanna coordinate, right? Um, you know, the, it, I think w- the two base ones I know are in way people run, and also I see it in baseball what...

John MayerHOST
Um, but yeah, could you give some tips for coaches who want to ask better questions, they want to ask questions that align with a more ecological lens?
THE ADVANCED ECOLOGICAL APPROACH (Book 4) with Rob Gray (1 of 2)
B
17:44Billy AllenHOST
Um, yeah, can you go into, yeah, why this is such an important principle and, and take us through that concept?
R
17:50Rob GrayGUEST
Yeah, I think, you know, intention, intention so is basically kind of setting your goal for, for an activity, for, you know, a game or what you're trying to achieve, right? It's gonna determine what you look for, what information you pick up, and the, uh, how you connect it to your movement.
R
18:08Rob GrayGUEST
Um, I think that's, you know, I think as a coach, kind of you can move someone to a particular area of solution space by just say changing that, that intention.
R
18:18Rob GrayGUEST
I want you to, you know, I want you to get the ball up in the air for a new person versus pass it exactly to someone that's-Of, uh, it's po- teammate versus more skilled, right? Um, so yeah, I think it, it's, it's, it's kind of, uh, it's...
R
18:34Rob GrayGUEST
One of the, some of the best athletes I've, I've been lucky enough to work with, I feel like they have a clear intention every time they...
B
20:52Billy AllenHOST
... yeah, what have you, what have you found to maintain the quality of the intention?
Connect With Community Waikato - 06-06-2026
R

... as we have a fantastic, uh, community garden, um, uh, land we lease off the council, and they provided that for us, which was wonderful.
R
4:38Rob GrayGUEST
Um, so it really is for the community to come and, and harvest, to come and top up their salads or, uh, get some of those vegetables they need.

17:57Josh MorrisseyHOST
Who was doing the work to find that site? How did you stitch that deal together? Like really unpack that.
Rob GrayGUEST
Well, we, we don't have an internal acquisitions manager, so a lot of, lot of finding the sites, um, falls on us and our key staff.
Rob GrayGUEST
But we'll deal with a lot of buyer's agents, um, normal agents, even, um, owners will reach out to us directly.
Rob GrayGUEST
Even on Instagram, people will say, "I've got this site," or, "My friend's trying to sell this site." So we think the more sort of eyes you've got looking, the more chance you are of finding an A-grade site.
