Industry Review: Supporting Elite Athletes
Shownotes
When we think about elite athletes, we tend to focus on what happens on the pitch, the track or the court but behind every top performance is a team of people working to keep that athlete in the best possible condition, physically and mentally.
That means getting the nutrition right, building the right mindset, preventing injuries and, when they do happen, making sure athletes can return to peak performance.
For this week's Industry Review, Emmet Oliver looks at the business of keeping athletes at their peak, and the specialists who work behind the scenes to make it happen.
Joining Emmet are:
Laura Mahony, Sports Dietician and Performance Nutritionist at the Sport Ireland Institute
Kelley Fay of KF Performance Psychology
Dr Fearghal Kerin is a Consultant physiotherapist with Kerin Performance
