- Cope with pressure and challenges more effectively

- Compete with confidence more often

- Improve your commitments levels
David is a Mental Toughness Practitioner, as well as a Health Care and Professions Council (HCPC) Registered Sport and Exercise Psychologist. He has successfully supported athletes, teams and organisations for over 10 years in order to ensure that they perform at their maximum more often.
He has a comprehensive knowledge around the development of Mental Toughness, a plastic personality trait, which determines or limits people to deal effectively with change, challenges and stressors. In today’s climate, during the Coronavirus pandemic this quality is becoming more and more valuable to individuals, teams and organisations.
After a short break from creating and broadcasting episodes of the Demystifying Mental Toughness Podcast, in episode #275, David discusses a change in format to the podcast for the rest of 2025. He also highlights the benefits of having a support system and the benefits of reading and acting on advice from The 12 Week Year, book written by Brian F Moran and Michael Lemmington.
Key Learning Points:
- Taking a break can revive our motivation and creativity similar to the power of periodisation in sport or strength training.
- The next episode will be published on Friday 04 April.
- An 8-week series of episodes focusing on the youth sport experience will follow.
- David’s Irish based colleagues Gerard Fitzgerald and Colm O’Donoghue will provide support for David in these episodes sharing their perspective.
- Challenges that youth athletes, sporting parents and youth coaches regularly come across will be a feature of our discussions.
