THE SPORTS BEHAVIOURAL
SCIENCE PODCAST

Welcome to A Load of BS on Sport, the behavioural science podcast about the psychology of sport. Join hosts Dan Ross and Dan Biggar as they delve into what it is that makes elite performers tick. In doing so, they engage with athletes, coaches and psychologists, uncovering the grit and determination required to compete at the highest levels, year after year.


Each episode offers a candid look at the mental challenges faced by high-achieving performers, revealing the real toil and sweat behind their successes. If you're a sports enthusiast, a fan fascinated by what goes on off the field as much as on it or simply interested in human behaviour, this podcast will inspire you to understand what truly makes champions thrive and how to harness that knowledge for your own journey.
The podcast gets to the heart of what it really means to perform at the most elite levels of sport: confidence and mental toughness, making decisions under pressure, overcoming fear, adversity, uncertainty and stress; communicating, leading, motivating and influencing others - in other words the psychology of the games we love.

MEET THE TEAM

Dan Biggar For the past 17 years, Dan has lived his dream on the rugby field, winning three Six Nations titles, earning over 100 caps for Wales (including the captaincy) and touring twice with the British & Irish Lions. Currently playing for RC Toulon, Dan is loving this rugby-mad town, fully embracing the French lifestyle. Rugby is more than a sport for Dan; it’s a vocation that has shaped his understanding of leadership, resilience and teamwork. The lessons learned on the field have equipped him with insights that extend beyond the game, allowing him to help others unlock their potential in sports and business through high-performance coaching. As a sought-after pundit, Dan’s honest analysis has enhanced his visibility on platforms like ITV Sport and Sky Sports. He is also a columnist for the Daily Mail and the author of “The Biggar Picture.” Dan’s wealth of experiences make him the perfect co-host for A Load of BS on Sport!

Dan Ross Dan launched A Load of BS: The Behavioural Science podcast in 2021 with the goal of talking to people from all walks of life who have something insightful to say on the human condition; in other words, beyond the rarified air of academia, understanding how real people make real decisions in the real world. Dan interviewed everyone from Rory Sutherland, Gary Lineker, Danny Finkelstein, Professor Paul Dolan, Dan Ariely, Jenny Kleeman, Bill Browder, Nir Eyal, Sir Martin Sorrell, Sir Michael Barber and John Cleese. Mad sports enthusiast as he is, in 2024, Dan switched the BS to sport, initially partnering with Liam Botham, before relaunching with Dan Biggar. Dan also runs exclusive A Load of BS Events and hosts The Sports Business Syndicate, the largest global private network of senior sports business executives.
