We feel very lucky to have Dr Kate Kirby as a member of Deerpark. Kate is currently the Head of Performance Psychology at the Sport Ireland Institute. She has worked at the highest level of sport for over a decade and has provided her expertise to numerous governing bodies, including the IRFU, Irish Sailing, Irish Rowing, Hockey Ireland, Tennis Ireland, Horse Sport Ireland and numerous inter-county GAA teams.

She also works privately with athletes from individual sports such as golf and athletics, as well as players from a broad range of team sports.

This week Kate held a talk in the clubhouse entitled "Understanding and Managing Nerves in Matchplay" for which we had a very good turnout. So thanks very much, Kate.
