Patrick Harding - Performance coaching in the world of Formula one, pro boxing and more.

Patrick Harding is the Irish man working as performance coach to the likes of Formula one driver Alex Albon from team Red Bull, professional Irish boxer Michael Conlan as well as various others.

If you've watched the "Drive to survive" documentary on Netflix over the rolling lockdowns, you might have caught a glimpse of Patrick putting in work with Alex in one of the many engaging episodes.

In this hour, he gives us a brilliant insight into his role working with some of the top level athletes that world sport has to offer, but he also provides hugely valuable take-aways for parents, coaches and anybody else with even a passing interest in sport. 

As the inter-county season fast approaches, I'm looking at getting in one more episode before I park the podcast for a while.
In the last few months, I've had many coaches contact me with various coaching queries, so to that end, I'm looking to finish with a questions and answers episode if coaches have any queries they would like to have tackled ahead of a return to underage sport in a few weeks time.
If you'd like to submit a question or have any coaching issue you'd like to raise, send me an email to; themikequirkepodcast@gmail.com

Also, 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 Temple Street Children's Hospital in Dublin, to try and help raise much needed money for them.
Covid 19 continues to have a hugely negative impact on their ability to raise funds in the ways they normally do, so if you found some value in the podcast, it would be great if you could donate anything, no matter how small to Temple Street Children's Foundation through the link here: https://bit.ly/39857sS
