In this episode of the podcast, we speak on progress, and how we need to avoid attaching to only physical progress when we're trying to overcome an injury. Being too hard on yourself because you don't see the physical progress in the time you want can be a downfall for some. Here we talk on other forms to help you stay disciplined, focused and on track.

In this episode of the podcast I was delighted to welcome on sports scientist, strength & conditioning coach and PhD candidate David Nolan (@SynapsePerformance).

David is currently completing his PhD on sex differences and adaptations to exercise, with a focus mostly around the female athlete.

In this podcast we discuss the differences in sporting demands for male & female athletes, the effect of the menstrual cycle & hormonal contraceptives on performance and programming for female athletes.

We also explore transgender populations in competitive sport, ethical considerations around inclusivity & fairness as well as are the Olympic Committees (IOC) requirements for the inclusion of transgender athletes sufficient based on current research.

In the episode of the podcast I was delighted to bring on close friend, personal trainer & coach Bryan McInerney. Bryan is one of the best coaches I've ever worked with and brings a unique perspective to the world of health & fitness.

We discuss overcoming his own significant obstacles and how this has affected his approach & mindset to training. We also dive deep into self awareness, community & how your relationships alter your perspective.

Bryan also talks about overcoming cancer, rowing the length of Ireland in a month and competing in the national fitness games in the eye opening episode.

In this episode of the podcast we look at something that is very common in sporting populations - how do you manage an injury while still trying to perform in season?

We discuss the main mistakes made by many athletes in season, that either cause their issues to continue flaring up, get worse or hold them back from performing their best.

We explore how to manage energy expenditure better in games & training sessions as well as improving recovery, focusing on specific gameplay, managing load and working on competition strategy.

If you are currently managing an injury while still training, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the podcast I was delighted to welcome on Killian Malone to speak about coaching in the GAA.

Killian is a personal trainer, primary school teacher & inter-county coach. He provides his unique insight into skills development, coaching & game analysis.

We speak on why it's important as a coach to build good relationships in a team sport. We also explore planning & structuring training sessions, off the ball movement, game management & more.

In this episode of the podcast we look at muscle tightness. Often I hear clients complain that they always feel tight, restricted & sore. Understanding the signs your body is trying to give you is huge when trying to get the best out of yourself.

We discuss what is the underlying cause of tightness, how you may be contributing to it as well as what your body is trying to tell you.

We also explore different solutions to the problem, look at some important aspects you may be missing as well as how the subconscious plays a role.

In this episode of the podcast we dive into ankle rehabilitation. If you've ever sprained an ankle before, or find it happens to you often, this episode is for you.

The ankle is one of the most common injuries in field sports today. Yet I often find people making similar mistakes that can actually delay their return to play after one of these injuries.

In this episode we explore different techniques & ideas to build strength & tolerance in the ankle. We also discuss common mistakes made as well as a few handy tips you can use to get you back to activity faster.

In this episode of the podcast I discuss how you can fit more mobility work into your day. 

Many often lose out on the benefits of mobility training as they don't prioritise it enough. This episode actually stems off the back of a conversation I had with a client recently. 

We speak on when is the best time to do your mobility sessions, why do some find it so difficult to fit it into their day, as well as a few tips & tricks you can use to incorporate more mobility work into your life.
