A great day at the @PhilaUnion and @philaunion_fdn Mental Fitness Forum delivering my workshop: “Next Play Mentality: Resetting After Mistakes.”

We talked about how to respond to setbacks, move through mistakes without spiraling, and reset, both on and off the field.

[Alan O'Mara @AOMTHECAT]

Thank you to the @philaunion_fdn for being such warm and welcoming hosts. They are doing tremendous work tackling stigma head-on and empowering young people in the city I’m now proud to call home.

[Alan O'Mara @AOMTHECAT]

It was a pleasure to be on the new @PhilaUnion mental fitness podcast.

We explored what resilience really means to me. It’s not always about just pushing through challenges, but recognizing when we need to show ourselves some compassion too.

As a Mental Performance Coach, I've worked with championship-winning teams on both sides of the Atlantic.

My program has consistently helped teams to achieve new standards of performance by developing connection, resilience and confidence in groups.

As a new year begins, I wanted to share with my network how I support teams and coaches through my work as a Mental Performance Coach. I believe every team has untapped potential and I focus my skill set on two high-impact areas within elite sports:

2) Head Coach Consulting: I combine my championship-winning experiences as a mental performance coach, head coach and athlete to provide unique one-to-one support to Head Coaches. I help managers to maximize their impact as a leader and navigate the inevitable challenges.

@depboyle Massive congrats D - good luck with the next adventure!

I wrote this piece about how burnout impacted me, and some of the lessons I learned from a leadership, performance and well-being perspective.

In some ways I was right about being ready to manage an elite team and in other ways I was very wrong.

[Alan O'Mara @AOMTHECAT]

Being an inter-county manager was a dream come true. 

In some ways I was right about being ready for the job, and in other ways I was very wrong.

This piece in today’s Sunday Indo is about how burnout impacted me. Thanks @johnjgreene and @IndoSport.

Life as an inter-county manager: ‘Migraines, constant fatigue and a fuzzy brain. I became unusually irritable and erratic as a person and partner’
