The truth about half-time team talks: from an expert with Brazil & GAA counties

Is your half-time team talk doing more harm than good? 

Armagh native and GAA coach Eamon Devlin is the specialist who changes the way world-class sports teams approach half-time.

He worked with Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid and now Brazil, while he also consults for Argentina Rugby, several inter-county GAA teams, Premier League clubs and NBA sides to help them fix the most chaotic 15 minutes in sport.

We talk about:

• The biggest mistakes GAA coaches make at half-time
• What world class coaches like Carlo Ancelotti and Felipe Contepomi have in common
• Why emotional regulation is the coach’s first job
• How Real Madrid and the All-Blacks structure their team-talks
• What happens when you give out too many messages?
• Should the full management team go into the dressing room?
• Is letting your opponents wait on the pitch at HT beneficial?
• When should players flip the switch pre-game?

Whether you're a coach or chasing an edge as a player, this episode will permanently change how you think about game day and half-time.
