Sporting Leaders

I work with Head Coaches, Managers and leaders in sport, giving them space away from the day-to-day demands of the job to think, talk through challenges and develop how they lead themselves and others.

leadership in sport

Coaching the person behind the performance.

As a leader in sport, much of your time is spent thinking about other people — players, staff, performance and results. Coaching gives you the opportunity to step away from that environment and focus on how you are operating as a leader.

who I COACH

Different environments. Same human challenges.

Leadership looks different in every environment, but the human challenges remain the same. I work with leaders to create greater self-awareness, clarity and confidence in how they lead and perform.

Self-Awareness

Self-awareness creates choice.

Understand the patterns, behaviours and assumptions that shape how you lead – where they’ve come from, when they serve you and when they don’t.

Identity

Who are you as a leader?

Explore who you want to be as a leader, what you stand for and whether your everyday behaviours reflect the values you say are important.

Approach Mindset

How do you approach performance?

Develop an approach that helps you lead and perform with intent, particularly when pressure rises.

A Different Perspective

Some things are easier to explore outside your environment.

A confidential space to share thoughts, question assumptions and test ideas before deciding what you want to take back into your team or organisation.

My Approach

Coaching grounded in experience.

My approach brings together professional coaching, performance psychology and lived experience — creating conversations that are grounded in the real-world demands of leadership and performance.

Coaching

Real 1:1 coaching built around listening, questioning and challenging, not simply giving advice.

Performance Psychology

Applying an understanding of mindset, behaviour and psychology to the realities of leadership and performance.

Lived Experience

First-hand experience of high-level football, competitive running, business, sales and leadership.

Testimonials

What leaders say about working with me.

Read what leaders have to say about working with Seanie, and how coaching has helped them think differently, work through challenges and develop their approach to leadership.

Working with Seanie over the last three years has been transformative both individually and for our collective team. During a period of tremendous growth and success, Seanie’s impact on our group has been invaluable.

On a personal level, Seanie acted as a “second set of eyes,” consistently offering constructive feedback and asking direct questions that challenged and elevated my own development as a coach and leader. His professional insight, dedication, and ability to drive performance make Seanie an outstanding asset to any Head Coach/Manager of a football team looking to reach the next level. I couldn’t recommend Seanie highly enough.

Caolan McDaid, Termon GAA Senior Manager

Working with Seanie has made me think much more about how I lead and the impact that has on the wider team. He challenges you to look at what you do well, where you can improve and how you respond when the pressure is on. I’ve found the sessions really useful in helping me adapt my approach and get more from both myself and the people around me. Seanie creates a fun and engaging environment where people are comfortable being open, while still being pushed to think differently and improve. It has been a very worthwhile investment in both myself and our leadership team.
