Episode 15 – A road less travelled with performance coach Tony Griffin

Long before he made a name as a Performance Coach with the All Ireland champion Kerry footballers this year and previously the Dublin hurlers, Tony Griffin carved out an impressive All-Star hurling career of his own with his native Clare.

In this episode, Tony shares his considerable experience of hurling at the top level in Ireland while studying in Nova Scotia; cycling across Canada and raising 1.1 million for charity in the process. He’s recently wrote a book entitled “The Teenager’s Book of Life” which gives young people the tools they need to take their first steps in a grown-up world that expects a lot of them.

Tony is a strong advocate for focusing on the person before the player, he shares his steps towards developing a positive culture with any age group and why the use of questioning can be a coaching superpower.

Similar to season 1, I've set up this podcast with a dual purpose in mind, firstly to provide some thoughtful debate for coaches, but I've also linked up with Recovery Haven in Tralee, who provide free cancer support services for the people of Kerry and beyond.
