Beskrivelse

In this episode, we were delighted to speak with Hamish Adams, CEO of Athletics Ireland. Hamish discusses what it takes to build and sustain high-performance environments. From the pursuit of medals to the reality of managing stakeholder expectations, the conversation explores the importance of incremental improvement at organisational level in a sport that has infinite opportunity. He reflects on the need to step out of high performance pressures, reset, and continually go again. He discusses the importance of living the values including honesty (sometimes bluntly) and integrity, and empowering the people around him through autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

4. Inside Elite Performance: Trust, Care, and the Coach-Athlete Bond with Hayley Harrison, High performance athletics coach.

In this episode we were delighted to speak with Hayley Harrison, high performance athletics coach and Coach Developer Lead with Sport Ireland. Hayley is probably best known for her work with Olympian and European bronze medalist, Thomas Barr. We dive into what it really takes to coach world-class athletes. Hayley shares powerful insights on building trust, the unique traits and characteristics that the top athletes possess, and what it means to be part of an athlete’s journey at the highest level. We also explore the often-overlooked side of elite individual sport - how long-term coach-athlete relationships evolve, and what it takes to step away when the journey comes to its natural conclusion. Part 1 of a two-part conversation.
