Inside Camp | The Matador - My Final Week in Team Ireland HP

My Final Week in Team Ireland HP — The Season Finale The Inside Camp season finale. My last week in the Boxing Ireland High Performance programme before heading back to New York. I came back from Poland with a list of things to sharpen. Then I rolled my ankle in the final session. We adapted. Tailored pads. Bag work. Stretched the rules a little. This was the first week the full squad was back together — Brazil, Poland, Ulster. Lighter sessions. And in the middle of it all, a moment with Michaela Walsh I won't forget. Ten weeks ago I walked into this programme. I'm leaving with more than I could have ever hoped for. Season One of Inside Camp closes here. But the next round is already calling.

Felix Stamm 2026 | Testing Myself at International Level — Inside Camp | Between the Rounds

Felix Stamm 2026 boxing tournament — Team Ireland competing in Radom, Poland. Two fights. Two very different stories. One clear truth — performance isn't decided by scorecards. Week 9 of Inside Camp covers the Felix Stamm tournament in Poland, international sparring with Poland and Great Britain, corner work with the Head Coach, and what it means to level up without always getting the win. Between the Rounds is a content platform exploring the strategy, preparation, and decision-making that shape performance — in sport, business, and careers. 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. 📍 Follow @betweentherounds

Inside Camp | The Trust Shift

At some point, you have to stop digging and trust what's underneath". Eight weeks into the High Performance program, I’ve been selected to represent Team Ireland in the Felix Stamm Tournament in Poland. In this episode, I talk about the decision to evict the imposter and protect my energy. I break down high-intensity sparring sessions where I stopped surviving and started thinking—including a technical micro-adjustment that was eight weeks in the making. No more spiraling. The preparation is done. Now, we perform.

Steven O'Rourke — Building Champions: Trust, Tactics & the Mental Game

I sat down with my own club coach for the first time on Between the Rounds. Steven O'Rourke has coached fighters for over 30 years out of O'Rourke's Gym in Inchicore, Dublin. In this conversation he reveals how he reads a fighter's mental state before they know something's wrong, the coded combination system he uses mid-fight, why he builds trust before technique, and how he's kept the father-coach dynamic with his son Ryan healthy when so many others fall apart. Whether you're a boxer, a coach, or someone interested in performance under pressure.  this is the side of the sport you never see. In this episode: inside O'Rourke's Gym, building mental strength, coaching Ryan from six months old, when the father-coach line gets dangerous, what Steven saw in me as a fighter, who earns his coaching, "it's all in your head," task-based sparring, opponent study and game plans, code names for combinations, corner style between rounds, when a fighter stops listening, coaching women, and the future of the O'Rourke legacy. Host: Sarah Cunningham | Guest: Steven O'Rourke Between the Rounds explores the strategy, preparation, and decisions that shape performance — in sport, business, and careers.

Inside Camp | Against The Clock

The clock isn't something I can negotiate with. So the question becomes — what can I build with the time I have? Not what's missing. What's possible. Seven weeks into Boxing Ireland's HP camp. Decision-making is sharper. Pattern recognition is building. But experience can't be compressed into a single camp cycle. Inside Camp is a weekly series documenting the real work behind international competition with Boxing Ireland's High Performance squad. I'm Sarah Cunningham — elite amateur boxer competing for Team Ireland. #BetweenTheRounds
