In this episode we were delighted to speak with Hayley Harrison, high performance athletics coach and Coach Developer Lead with Sport Ireland. Hayley is probably best known for her work with Olympian and European bronze medalist, Thomas Barr.
We dive into what it really takes to coach world-class athletes. Hayley shares powerful insights on building trust, the unique traits and characteristics that the top athletes possess, and what it means to be part of an athlete’s journey at the highest level.
We also explore the often-overlooked side of elite individual sport - how long-term coach-athlete relationships evolve, and what it takes to step away when the journey comes to its natural conclusion.
