Why GAA players don’t need to feel confident to perform — mental tools that actually work
Season 1 Episode 16
We’ve all heard it: “he’s low on confidence.” But what if confidence isn’t actually the key to playing well?
Sports psychologist Eddy Sheeky breaks down why elite players perform regardless of how they feel — and how you can too.
We discuss:
- The myth of confidence — and why elite players perform without it
- The reset triggers, breathing drills, and mindset habits used at inter-county level
- How stress outside of sport is secretly killing recovery and performance
- Tools for players who get sick with nerves or lose control mid-game
- What separates consistent performers at club vs county level
- The mindset mistakes most GAA players make when things go wrong
