In over 20 years coaching experience, one area that I have seen huge scope for development in, is the human mind and behaviour. Motivation, goal Setting, concentration, relaxation and confidence are now key elements to aid high performance in any sport. I have worked with Keith over the last 4 years with adult club senior teams in Connaught and Leinster. During this time, his input has been a complete eye opener both to me and the players he has worked with. Keith's experience playing senior club hurling in Clare, along with extensive coaching experience gives him a huge advantage in understanding the dynamics of a GAA dressing room environment from a players perspective. As a top sports psychologist, his understanding from his own experiences as a player is in my view, the reason players completely buy into the importance of sport psychology and where a positive mindset can take you. I couldn't recommend Keith highly enough. Joe Kenny, Senior Hurling Manager, Kilnadeema-Leitrim 2018, Galway. 

"I must admit, upon first meeting Keith, I was sceptical as to his motivation to coach our University of Wales Gaelic Football Team. Why would anyone want to coach us? We had significant limitations regarding player personnel, facilities and financial resources. Despite our vast limitations, Keith managed to develop our group’s mindset into believing not only could we compete, but that we could win. This ultimately culminated in us winning our first ever British Universities GAA Championship in 2011. Having had first hand experience of his coaching sessions, it is abundantly clear that Keith has vast expertise in the areas of coaching, performance psychology, and leadership development. All of our sessions allowed us to trust him in building an effective game plan and a robust team spirit along with individual and collective leadership capacities. I am and will undoubtedly continue to work with Keith at every available opportunity regarding development of my own coaching. He is an individual that I would highly recommend if you are looking for anybody to work with your team or athletes in the area of sport or performance psychology.”         Jarlath Glynn, Castlebar Mitchels GAA & University of Wales, Bangor.

​Thank you Keith for all you have done to help. As a championship Irish dancer, my daughter's feis day performance was not reflecting her effort in class and manifested both physically and mentally. After a few sessions with Keith, he had pinpointed the underlying issue and worked with her on a competition day plan which was extremely effective and my daughter now competes to her full potential.   Siobhan, mum of CLRG dancer.

Keith spoke recently at our schools "Family & Wellness" mental health promotion night for parents and friends of our school. From the moment he started to speak, it was very clear that Keith was extremely knowledgeable of the area and had a great command and rapport with the audience - a crowd of approximately 90 adults. Keith spoke about nutrition, health and exercise and the links between them and positive mental health, emotional well being and general wellness. He gave some fantastic practical information, examples and anecdotes and our captive audience could really relate to his delivery - with many in attendance realising that they were not on their own with their difficulties after a real honest Q&A session. Everybody left much more informed afterwards and both I and our school principal received many plaudits and thanks from parents on the nature of his talk. I couldnt recommend Keith highly enough to speak to youth groups, parents and adults alike on the whole area of wellness, well-being and positive mental health. He truly knows his stuff.      Geraldine Gaffey - Principal - St Philomena's Primary School, Tullamore, Co Offaly.

​We have had a number of issues around internet safety in the school, so we recently invited Keith to speak at a parents evening about the importance of mental health.  He had been recommended by another school principal who had worked with him previously. His presentation was very engaging, informative, clear and to the point and he gave us excellent guidance as parents, guardians and teachers to safeguard the young people in our care.  He also made the link between mental health, physical health, nutrition and exercise and the effects of social media & gaming addiction and the research surrounding it, in simple language which we all understood. Afterwards, he facilitated a very valuable question and answer session addressing parents concerns and needs.  Thank you Keith. Donna Ni Mhairtin, Principal, Gaelscoil an Eiscir Riada, Tullamore.

​I approached Keith to be my supervisor when I was starting out on my journey towards accreditation. He agreed to help me out and I never looked back - I felt we were an excellent fit and our approaches aligned well. As someone starting out in their sport psychology career, I was nervous about the implementation of my interventions. I knew and understood the science behind my work, but Keith’s experience helped me to bring them to the next step and to ensure they were effective. After two years I am now accredited with Sport Ireland and while I am delighted with that achievement I couldn’t have done it without the guidance of my supervisor. The tips I learned and knowledge gained has served me well and I take these with me as a much better practitioner than when I started.  Katie Kilbane - Accredited Sport Psychologist with Sport Ireland Institute.
