What separates good coaches from truly great ones?
In this episode, I’m joined by Paul Kilgannon, Coach Developer and Performance Consultant, to explore the building blocks of coaching craft: your philosophy, your skills, your tools, and how you influence the people around you.

We discuss:

Why simplicity is a superpower in coaching
Coaching skills vs coaching tools — and how to use each properly
How to shape your coaching philosophy (“This Is Me”)
Designing purposeful sessions, questions, games & conversations
Backroom teams: roles, relationships and psychological safety
Reflective practice — how to genuinely improve as a coach
What’s undervalued and overrated in modern coaching

If you coach in GAA or any sport, this episode will help you rethink how you plan, communicate, and build the environments where athletes learn and perform.
