    S7/Ep.05 - Redefining High Performance in Boys’ School Sport
    Mar 26 2026
    In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys' Education Podcast, Chris Ekron challenges the win-at-all-costs culture that still dominates many boys' school sports programs. The Playbook Ed cofounder and former head of sports performance at Bishops Diocesan College (South Africa) draws on his PhD research and Paul Wylleman's four-pillar model of student-athlete development to make the case for redefining high performance around the whole boy—not just the Saturday scoreboard.

    Discover why the real metrics of a successful sports program are process wins during the week, character growth, and whether boys still love the game long after they leave school. Ekron shares practical strategies for relational coaching, from 30-second corridor conversations to breaking down the silos between coaches, teachers, and pastoral staff, and explains how a simple schedule-mapping exercise can reveal just how little time boys have "just to be a boy."

    Tune in to learn how schools can build sports environments where well-being forms the foundation for performance, stakeholder expectations are managed with clarity, and every student—not just the A-team athlete—is developed to reach his personal best.

    S7/Ep.04 - Boys and the Deepfake Landscape
    Mar 10 2026
    In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, Pathos Consulting Group President Evan Harris details the complex and rapidly evolving world of deepfakes. An expert on emerging AI risks in schools, Harris moves beyond the headlines of digital abuse to reveal how the realm of synthetic media is fundamentally altering the way boys interact with reality, consent, and each other.

    Discover a practical "order of operations" for school leaders to follow to advance from feeling overwhelmed by technology to building institutional resilience. Harris discusses the critical need for digital discernment and explains why the primary creators of this content—and increasingly its victims—need a new "sales pitch" for healthy masculinity.

    Tune in to learn how schools can move past scare tactics to empower boys with the ethical framework and trusted adult support necessary to navigate the disappearing line between real and fake.

  • S7/Ep.03 - The Boy-Friendly School

    S7/Ep.03 - The Boy-Friendly School
    Dec 12 2025
    In this episode of the IBSC Exploring Boys’ Education Podcast, join Headmaster Chris Post and the leadership team from the Boys' Latin School of Maryland (United States) as they discuss their approach to creating a boy-friendly school. Sparked by the insights of social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, the school implemented a bold door-to-door cell phone ban and re-imagined daily schedules to prioritize human connection over digital convenience.

    Discover how these philosophical shifts translate into on-the-ground practice, from creative playgrounds in the lower school to autonomous choice blocks in the middle school, and peer-led clubs in the upper years. The conversation highlights how high-impact, low-cost structural adjustments can foster genuine friendship and leadership among students. Tune in for a practical roadmap to giving boyhood back to boys.
