Today we spoke with Cillian Reardon – Performance coach and consultant, formerly of Leinster rugby and ex pro boxer

Cillian has vast experience in sports science and strength & conditioning. He has worked with Dublin GAA and Leinster rugby for many years predominantly as a performance coach. He has focused most of his work on helping pro players reach their highest level of playing and competitive performance. He helps one manage this performance pathway and build habits that are practical and resonant. Cillian is currently building a coaching platform for developing this space.

In this episode we hear about where Cillian started, his interest in coaching and high performance, reflection, his exploits in the boxing ring and his time spent with Dublin GAA and Leinster rugby.

We hear about what Cillian really feels is important...away from sports science and technology. We discuss leadership, strategy, purpose, how professional sport has evolved over the last decade - and what is next for performance in the sporting and business world.

It was refreshing to hear Cillians' take on how we can all get better, the value of soft skills - and we are very grateful he joined us on our show! Thanks Cillian!
