  • Eoin Rheinsich: Performance Life Skills, Sport Ireland Institute
    To kick off season 2 I am delighted to chat with Eoin Rheinsich, Head of Performance Life Skills at the Sport Ireland Institute. Most of us probably think that the life of an athlete is eat, sleep, train, repeat... however there is so much more to it than that. In this episode, Eoin and I discuss how we need to take a more holistic view of our athletes in order to help them maximize their potential. Can we help identify transitions in their life - for example from school to college or from training to competing on the world stage - and create strategies to help our athletes cope? What were the specific challenges faced with Covid-19 and competing at Tokyo 2020? How did Eoin make his own transition from Olympian to service provider? Are there opportunities for you in this area? We answer these questions and more in the latest episode of Win Win, available now!

  • Deirdre Lyons - Player Development Manager with Rugby Players Ireland
    In this episode I chat with Deirdre Lyons, Player Development Manager with Rugby Players Ireland. In this role Deirdre aims to help rugby players maximise their time so they can fulfil their potential both on and off the field of play. From early engagement to help academy players negotiate school and college life, the player development manager strives to develop a positive working relationship with the athlete, so they are well placed to help them achieve balance in their life. How does the player develop their own personal brand and capitalise on the opportunities that may be presented to them? What can a player do to ensure a smooth transition out of the game at the end of their career? What can the program offer athletes who struggle to cope with the intense scrutiny and online trolling that they may experience? Is there a rising tide for female professional rugby players? How can you pursue a career like this? We answer these questions and more in the latest episode of Win Win, available now!

What was it like walking into Westside all those years ago? How did he turn an internship into a career? How can it pay to be the dumbest person in the room?
