PODCAST featuring Christopher McCarthy

 

I was recently a guest on The Breise Mindset Podcast. It explores the mental aspect of athletes performances across a range of team and individual sports and identifies how you can overcome challenges and improve performance.

We spoke about how I started running, goal setting, motivation and backing yourself to succeed.

Gold Master Mixed Relay Team

Christopher McCarthy, Sinead Falvey, Ger O'Regan and Kathleen Ryan. This was one of they highlights of the night with great competitive racing from all the teams. It was wonderful to see Midleton AC come out in top. 

It was hard going trying to keep track of all the medals so if I missed any please let me know.

A big thank you to the East Cork Division and to Carrignavar AC for organising such a great night. Even the rain held off until the final event which was the mixed relay and we were so happy to win we didn't even notice the rain.
