    TritonLake, as title sponsors of the Ireland Sevens programme, brings you TritonLake Perform – a podcast series that will explore the intersection of sport and business, and in particular, the necessary ingredients when it comes to creating and maintaining a dynamic high-performance culture. Hosted by TritonLake founder and CEO, Conor Smyth, guests on TritonLake Perform will come from the worlds of sport and business and looks into what has helped them to excel in their respective environments while also tackling challenges along the way. In this episode, Conor sits down with former Leinster, Munster and Ireland player Andrew Conway to discuss his time as a professional athlete, from his early days in Leinster, followed by a move to Munster and right onto the Irish stage. The 30-time Irish capped player speaks on the highs and lows he experienced through sport and injury while also talking through his newly launched business 5XFlow and how his time on the field has contributed to this passion.   Growing up in Dublin, Conway experienced the ideal rise in rugby, hailing from Blackrock College before heading to the Leinster academy at the age of just 18. A unique pivot at the time, Conway headed southbound to Munster. Speaking on the misconception that he went there for game time, Conway had to earn the respect of his teammates. Andrew goes on to speak on his illustrious career for both Munster and Ireland including playing in the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Building upon his on-field triumphs, Andrew explores his transition to off-field success, marked by the creation of 5XFlow, a venture dedicated to harmonising professional performance with the essential human experience. Conway mentions his work with rising rugby stars Jack Crowley and Craig Casey and delves deeper into his experiences under Joe Schmidt's guidance, the challenges and opportunities posed by injuries, and the core principles that now fuel his daily life.

In this episode, Conor sits down with former 7s World Player of the Year, Ollie Phillips, who speaks about his time as one of England’s most successful 7s players while also playing 15s rugby in the Premiership and Top14, to struggling with his identity post-rugby as he broke multiple Guinness World Records and took on extreme challenges. Ollie is now the Founder and CEO of Optimist Performance, helping individuals and teams improve their performance across the board. Phillips started out at the Newcastle Falcons academy, he learned his trade alongside rugby legends Jonny Wilkinson and Carl Hayman, while also playing rugby 7s with England. This led to him being voted the 2009 World Rugby 7s player of the year. Ollie enjoyed pushing the boundary of staying contained to either 7s or 15s rugby, and in 2009 he switched Newcastle for Paris when he joined Stade Français, going on to be voted the best overseas player in France in 2011.  Throughout this episode, Ollie talks about the challenges he faced both in rugby and during his daring exploits, including a career-altering injury that prevented Ollie from captaining Team GB 7s in the Olympics, and a life-or-death scenario while up Mount Everest. These experiences served as a catalyst for his evolution into a sought-after motivational speaker and coach when he founded Optimist Performance.  Finally, Ollie shared his advice on becoming a leader in a high performance environment, where he hones in on owning and amplifying people’s super strengths as they are the reason that have gotten you into the position you are in today.

Kate reflects on her time studying in the UK and Ireland and looks at just how far Performance Psychology has come in Ireland. Kirby looks back at her time and success with Team Ireland at the London, Rio and Tokyo Olympics. She is set to travel to the 2024 Olympics taking place in Paris.  Kirby highlights the important role that psychology plays in performance and how it can assist athletes in reaching their full potential on the big stages. She looks at how mental health can affect performance and how this has come more to the forefront in recent times. Some of the challenges around the mental side of being in a team environment vs being an individual are also visited. Kate speaks about control and the pressures that can come with being a leader.  On the corporate performance side, which Kirby has experience with, she stresses the importance of values and visions of the individual being in line with the team and company. She believes that businesses can take a leaf out of the book of sports with regards to reviews and how having a systematic approach here can be hugely helpful. Kirby helped the Women’s Hockey team in an external review prior to their 2020 World Cup silver medal which helped the team in their preparations. Finally, Kate gives the advice that being clear on your values and who you are should not be drastically compromised to be in any environment. Knowing what you stand for and what you can offer is key.
