This week I am joined by Alan Dunton

Alan has a PhD in Skill Acquisition and is a lecturer at MTU Cork in Coaching Science. He was an athlete himself reaching a very high level in Tae Kwon Do.

I have followed Alan on Twitter for quite some time and enjoyed how he sees the world and there were a couple of moments in this chat where I had light bulbs go off because of the way he explained some complex topics in lovely simple and succinct ways.

As always I hope you enjoy the chat and if you have anyone you know of who think would get some value out of this podcast, please share it with them.
