"Maybe you're not a bluffer actually" - a conversation with Kevin Mulcahy
The Talent Equation PodcastShow Notes
This episode features guest Kevin Mulcahy from Cork, Ireland, who is an S&C coach with experience coaching Gaelic Football and Hurling.
The episode explores... The historical context of these sports and their contemporary changes, including rule standardisation and the impact of lighter balls on game dynamics. Challenges in youth sports development, such as facility access and the influence of successful teams on community participation. How ideas from ecological dynamics are becoming more prevalent across Irish sport and how that is translating to elite success as well as a growth in participation. Kevin shares insights into integrating human movement, strength, and conditioning into Gaelic football coaching and fostering leadership within teams. We explore design principles for training and practice - how Kevin integrates principles of human movement with principles of team dynamics and principles of invasion sports. We discuss how action capacities differ from action capabilities and also look into 'interaction capacities and capabilities'. Hope you enjoy.

I joined Mike Finch and Professor Ross Tucker on the Real Science of Sport podcast for my third visit, this time to talk about talent development and what parents can do to help young people grow. We cover why sport has had a reckoning, why early selection catches so many people out, and what the numbers say about the odds of making it. I also get personal about the choices I made as a parent with my own son.
I had a conversation I've been looking forward to for a long time — Simon Harling, author o'f Good Coach, Bad Coach', joins me to explore what it actually means to examine your own coaching practice with honesty, humility, and a willingness to sit with the uncomfortable stuff.
In this conversation, I speak with Barry Jones, an ice hockey coach based in Australia who works with the Perth Inferno Women's team. Barry shares his remarkable journey from working with people with disabilities to enbracing the principles of ecological dynamics and aplying them with an eleite level team where his team has just 45 minutes per week to train whilst competing interstate.
In this special 300th episode of the podcast my good friend Andrew Wilson from Leeds Beckett University delivers a ;Christmas Lecture for members of the Ecological Explorers Club and The Guild of Ecological Explorers.
In this Dog Walk Diary episode, I explore a powerful metaphor about bananas and talent selection to unpack why traditional coach education falls short, and argue that we need to think ecologically about the environments coaches operate within rather than just pumping them full of content.
