Listen Later

On this weeks episode we have professional Fifa player Cormac "Doolsta" Dooley, who is currently signed with New York Redbulls on the podcast. We met back in 2017 at the GAA Continental Youth Championships in New York and I just had to have him on! Hailing from Galway, Cormac moved to the States when he was 16 where he honed his skills to become a professional player. 

On this episode we get an insight into the world of E-Sports and how he was introduced to the industry. We hear about how he balances playing Fifa professionally, studying at university and playing college soccer. He tells some stories of some of the players he has met throughout his journey (Rooney, Kaka, Ibrahimovic etc.) as well as how many controllers he has broken over the years.

He speaks of the psychology behind the game, how it is 95% mental and why finding the balance between training and playing is paramount.

Even if gaming or sports isn't your thing, there is something to take out of it for everyone! Tune in now!
