    On episode 151 I am delighted to be joined by the head of wellbeing at South Sydney Rabbitohs. Ian previously worked with the Gaelic Players Association in Ireland as Lead player development & wellbeing coach, to support inter-county players to develop their career and well being off the pitch.  Ian details his career progression from an internship to leading a core pillar of the GPA to being offered a position through LinkedIn to move to Australia and work with a professional rugby team in the National Rugby League.  We discuss promoting a growth mindset - challenging players to go from good to great, amateur vs professional environments, career development as an athlete and so much more! Ian also give his take on what makes a goat (greatest of all time) - Grateful, Ownership, Attention, Time.  A big thank you to Ian who made time during his schedule while visiting family at home in December 2022.

    #148 Matthew Bell // Second Chances, Resilience, Defying the odds

    On episode 148 I am delighted to be joined Matthew Bell. An accomplished international player Matthew won over 100 caps for Ireland but experienced heartbreak as he was not selected to travel to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. At 26 years of age while pursuing his 3rd season of professional hockey in Germany, Matthew was diagnosed with a brain tumour the size of three golf balls. He underwent immediate intervention which prevented Matthew from experiencing a fatal brain haemorrhage. He was later transferred by air ambulance back to Northern Ireland to complete chemotherapy, radiotherapy. Matthew has 5 surgeries in 6 weeks and was bed bound as he had to learn to walk, talk, and eat again. During his 6 months in hospital he dreamt of setting back out on the pitch with his local club, Bambridge. While many including his father wondered would he ever run again, Matthew’s determination prevailed and on April 20th 2021, Matthew walked back onto the hockey pitch for his first training session in 587 days. Matthew is back competing at local level with his club and has recently gotten engaged to his Fiancé Jane. During his recovery he came across Clodagh Dunlop, a police officer who suffered a brain stem stroke. Matthew reached out to Clodagh on Instagram and she sent him his book. This inspired Matthew to document his own journey and last year he released his memoir Second Chances, and has kindly donated all proceeds to @friends_of_the_cancer_centre    Matthew’s story was brought to my attention by a close friend in late 2020 and I was delighted to connect with him during the launch of his book last year. His story is inspiring and a testament to his resilience & attitude. Wishing Matthew continued success on and off the hockey field.
