I’m Not saying that if I had this 1 mindset tool right that I would have been a senior Ireland international. (There were a number of reasons)
But I am saying is that because I didn’t have this mindset tool right it was next to impossible for me to become a senior international.
This is also relative too.
Maybe you’re an underage club player.
Dont hold yourself back and say that you’ll only ever be able to play 2nds or 3rds because the 1sts seems impossible now.
I’ve seen players make leaps that you’d never imagine. From being average as underage players, to unreal when they were senior.
And all credit to them 🙌🏼

Sometimes your goals can overwhelm you, and in those moments be a negative thing.
You have the goal, the big dream. It’s there, and that’s great. It drives you on, it motivates you and gives you every.
But you don’t need to fixate on it 24/7. Instead, ground yourself in there here and now, breathe, focus on working towards the next big step (these trials) and being great in those.
And the big picture, everything else, will take care of itself 🤙🏼
Playing sport is a creative process.
An athlete competing is like an artist creating.
You must be completely in the moment, going by instinct, by feel, expressing yourself.
You must fail as an athlete. Simple as. If you never fail you’re never going to fulfil your potential.
Since I started studying this whole area a few years back I now know that this is “Positive Psychology” Nige was doing.
Try this out 👌🏼
Send this to a good coach who will know this 🤙🏼
This is the process. You keep doing it every time the worry thought comes up, and by you constantly choosing to take your awareness off the worry thought and onto the job at hand you will worry less.
Thank you to those who send the reel onto people who you think it might help 🙏🏼🤙🏼
You can do this simply breathing relaxation technique anyway, on the bus, before an exam, or in the dressing room.

Spend 80% of your time working on your strengths and 20% on your weaknesses.
Your strengths are what will get you noticed, and get you into teams. Focus on making them world class.
Ronaldo and Messi never became excellent tacklers. They didn’t need to, they didn’t waste time trying to become excellent tacklers.
Just get your weakness to a competent level. And get your strengths world class.

🚨 In 2025/26 I will be doing Mindset coaching with schools sports teams in Ireland & the UK.
I help players deal with stress and pressure, build resilience and confidence, perform better and, most importantly, fully enjoy their sport.
Options range from a 1 hour Talk to support throughout the school year, with programs tailored to the schools needs.
If this is something of interest for you please send me a DM and we can arrange a time to chat.
Also, if you know a Director of Schools Sport who you feel might be interested in supporting their students development in this way please tag them below or send them the post.
Cheers,
Brian

“The impact of Brian’s Mental Skills sessions over zoom was immediate and profound. From the first session, the players were fully engaged. Brian tailored his presentations to align with our coaching themes and the team’s objectives, ensuring relevance for our age group.
The growth I witnessed in my players throughout the year cannot be overstated. Their ability to navigate adversity improved significantly, and they developed remarkable leadership skills and self-confidence. Towards the end, the sessions became player-led, with questions from players taking over the calls.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Brian to work with any group.
I am immensely grateful for his help throughout the year.”
- Wes Carter, Kilkenny College JCT coach.
This was the youngest team I worked with over zoom last season.
A massive Thank You to Wes and for reaching out to work with their team.
