On this weeks episode I was delighted to be joined by Stranorlar man, Darren Devaney, who is the Lead Performance Psychologist at Ulster Rugby! After reading the interview he did for the Donegal News back in July 2021 I was keen to get Darren on the pod to discuss everything from his early golfing days competing against Graeme McDowell and sharing the course with one Rory McIlroy to becoming Lead Psychologist for the Arsenal academy.
We discuss the topic of psychology and its growth over the years, we gain insights into working with these high performance athletes and how stays sharp in his craft!
This chat was extremely insightful as we get a look behind the curtain of psychology in professional sports!
Tune in!
