#37 The Psychology of mental performance with Paul Mc Veigh ⚽️ 🧠

In this episode I get to speak to former Tottenham hotspur, Norwich, Burnley and Northern Ireland International, Paul Mc Veigh about his life to date, and how over the last ten years he has went through his own incredible transformations, from the Premier League in England, to being one of the most highly sought after public speakers in the field of mental performance. Having left West Belfast for the dizzy lights of London as a 16 year old kid, Paul found himself playing with some of the world's best footballers including Jurgen Klinnsman, David Ginola, and Les Ferdinand.  When his manager George Graham, decided to let him go from Spurs, this rejection was another challenge for Paul to overcome.  Overcome he did, and a successful spell at Norwich City commenced when his manager, Paul Lambert went onto describe Paul in his book "The Stupid Footballer"  as being, - "few have been more determined and driven to make the most of their ability than Paul Mc Veigh, a manager's dream with a wonderful attitude".   Paul then decided to leave football and pursue a degree in psychology, and post his studies worked for six years as a sports psychologist for Norwich City and Crystal palace.  In the last five years Paul has continued to push himself through continued professional development and is now one of the most highly sought after public speakers, in the whole area of performance psychology.  He now regularly speaks to huge corporations about the important if mental performance and how we can all improve upon our mental performance.   In what is a wide ranging conversation, I hope you get some value from this.  You can find more information about Paul across his social media platforms and also his website www.paulmcveighh.com  If you want to connect with me, please email [email protected]  Look after yourself and each other, CD
