Kilmacud Crokes Coaching Department along with the “Crokes Talks” Committee, has secured the services of Chris Lynch (Sports Psychologist) to come and present to our mentors, parents & adult players on the topic of “Growth Mindsets & Athlete Development” next Thursday evening June 2nd at 8pm in the Function Room.

Chris works with athletes and teams of all levels using the principles of sports psychology to help them unlock their potential.  He holds both a BSc and MSc in Sports Psychology.  He has worked with World number 1 and gold medal athletes, and is currently supporting professional footballers, elite inter-county Gaelic Football teams, professional golfers and rugby teams.

On the night Chris will speak about growth mindset and psychological development and will cover the following areas:

  • Introducing the brain & mindset
  • Growth vs Fixed Mindset
  • Coaching the growth mindset
  • Examples of growth mindset champions 
  • Character ID vs Talent ID
  • Developing a motivational climate

Having the right mindset is crucial when players & coaches are aiming to achieve their goals.  As coaches & parents it is very important that we encourage our players to hold a positive mindset throughout their sporting career.  This presentation is will be of huge benefit to ALL our mentors & coaches within the club and indeed to all our Adult players.  I would encourage you to attend if at all possible.

If you have any further questions please do hesitate to ask.  Looking forward to a full house on the night and a powerful talk.

Yours in Sport
