"The impact of Brianโs Mental Skills sessions over zoom was immediate and profound.
Their ability to navigate adversity improved significantly, and they developed remarkable leadership skills and self-confidence."

This is a must read from @davidmcw โIs Ireland the worst run country in Europe?โ
The figures in this article are mind blowing . No accountability in the Senior echelons of Public Service. No wonder people are angry. #fuelprotests
The definition of a Connacht legend ๐
Our all-time record points scorer Jack Carty has today announced that he will retire from rugby at the end of the season.

This is pure defamation.
Using a photo of Rieko Ioane (who is completely unrelated to this story) is a disgusting way to get clicks. Rugby Lad should be ashamed of this ragebait garbage.

Itโs how players are coached from a young age, and how they are brought up to play the game, which largely determines how they play and their skillsets as adults.
French kids get coached to play like that. Irish kids learn structure and get told not to offload.
From an Irish perspective, this is obviously a hard watch. But the way France play the game is the proper way it should be done. Heads up rugby, play whatโs in front of you. None of this, predictable systematic approach.
Olympic ๐ฅ Lydia Ko. UFC legend Israel Adesanya.
Both worked with Mental Performance coach David Niethe on their way to the top.
We talk confidence, pressure, and what separates the best from the rest.

Loved doing a few Mental Skills talks while back home in Ireland.
Cheers to @wescarter36 at @kilkennycollege, and Jason Watson at @WicklowRFC for bringing me in.

I started to learn about this in my late 20s, itโs cool getting to teach it to players in their teens ๐
NZ South Island Golden Gloves ๐ฅ๐
Richard Pagoteโs an exciting young fighter in Christchurch.
Weโve been working together on the mental side of the game๐ง
Cool experience today being in his corner as he took out the title and also won the top overall award in the tournament๐ฅ
Great to catch up with some of the old @UBCWRugby crew after @RugbyCanada beat @BlackFerns
While playing in Vancouver I spent 3 years coaching UBC Women.
Cool seeing lots of them push through to the top of the game now in 15s & 7s.

He went through @TasmanMako academy as a player and went on to play for @leinsterrugby
He has coached @IrishRugby Women's team and is now coaching in the Leinster Pathway.
