Today we spoke to Paul Corry - commercial manager at McNulty Performance, RTE TV and radio analyst, and former professional footballer for clubs such as Shamrock Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday and UCD AFC, where Paul was a student-athlete.
This was a very varied interview with so many aspects of performance discussed. Listen to Paul shed light on the challenges of rehabbing away from the pitch physically and mentally. Paul really opened up here, which we were grateful for. The mental burden and uncertainty of the next steps for a pro footballer can be tough- this is that story.
Paul gives himself sports psychology advice now for his younger self, such as goal setting, habit forging and building. Paul explains the importance of getting an education, especially for those footballers who are striving to make it at the highest level; a plan for post football or if football doesn't work out is key. A strong education foundation has helped Paul massively in his post-football career.
There was so much to take away from this episode from key themes such as culture, sustainable leadership, adaptability, mindset and perseverance.
