#294 Eamon Devlin - Creating the Right Half-Time Environment

I’m delighted to speak with Eamon Devlin this week. Eamon works with coaches and teams to help improve their half-time process. Eamon is head coach of several senior Gaelic football teams - women’s and men’s. He is currently manager of Hertfordshire Men’s County team and he is also a GAA-qualified referee. Eamon is also the founder of Minute9, a sports consultancy advising professional sports teams and coaches on how best to structure and manage half-time. Eamon recently completed an MSc in Psychological Sciences at Brunel University. Related to his MSc in Psychological Sciences, his dissertation topic looked into half-time talks and how elite players perceive coaches’ pep talks. Eamon and I discuss the findings from this research.
