Personal Coaching

Personal Coaching explained

Coaching is a very personal thing and each person/player has a unique way of operating at their best. Putting the person before the player is one of the cornerstones of Dónal’s coaching philosophy. In order to help each player achieve their goals/vision it’s crucial that the coaching plan is in line with those goals and objectives.

Get to know

Before working with any player in person I try to get a sense of who they are, where they are coming from and what their goals are. This allows me to develop a coaching plan that will challenge them to rise to the level they are capable of competing at.

No quick fixes

Long term sustainable progress requires a commitment from both player and coach. I will work with each player and their team to make sure that they have what is required to keep progressing towards their goals.

Objectives & Results

Each project has agreed upon objectives and key results for a set period of time. If you would like to work with Dónal and develop a coaching plan that will challenge you to be the best you can be. Get in touch.
