Volunteer burnout is not always caused by time, workload, or lack of commitment. In many cases, it happens when leaders begin to feel less effective in their roles. As confidence and enjoyment decline, even experienced volunteers may start to disengage or step away. In this episode, Tobi Johnson sits down with leadership performance coach Paul Clarke to discuss new research on why volunteer leaders struggle under pressure and what organizations can do to better support them. They explore the gap between knowing what to do and being able to apply those skills in real-world situations, along with the emotional and organizational challenges that impact long-term retention. If you lead volunteers or are building a leadership pipeline, this conversation will help you rethink development, communication, and support. You will gain practical insights to strengthen resilience, improve retention, and create an environment where volunteer leaders feel confident, connected, and motivated to continue making an impact. Full show notes: 203.

Laois' Patrick Harding, the performance coach for Formula One driver Alex Albon, joins Eve Conway in studio to talk through his journey from the GAA, to the Olympics, to the Premier League and now to the pinnacle of motorsport. Ahead of the 2026 F1 season starting in Australia next week, with a whole new generation of cars, Patrick chats about how to extract every inch of performance from a driver over the course of the weekend, competition in the garage, and his favourite races.

Let us know what's on your mindChange feels different when you can see the road ahead. We take you inside the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie integration push with Mary McAleese's framing of unity as both heritage and strategy, and we map the concrete steps that move this from concept to calendar: a clear mandate from 2022, provincial roadshows for real feedback, and defined milestones through 2027 when the unified association will come to life.We break down what structural unity actually means on the ground. You'll hear how the One Club model informs county and provincial governance, why a single membership and unified injury fund can unlock transparency, and how subcommittees for competitions, youth, culture, coaching, and county teams provide the grip for daily delivery. We also get candid about transition bumps—aligning presidential roles, updating player protocols, and translating equal versus equitable funding into policies that feel fair to clubs of every size, from intercounty powerhouses to community teams training under rented floodlights.The practical detail matters as much as the vision. We outline the July target for final structures and codes of practice, the August motions, the October special congresses, and the first combined Congress in 2028.  Find out more about what we do day in day out at Sportforbusiness.comWe publish a daily news bulletin and host regular live events on a wide range of sporting subjects.

This week we're joined by Alex Brock and Niamh Foley — two humanitarians who have worked in conflict zones such as Ukraine, Palestine, Yemen, and Iran.  Niamh joins us from Kyiv, where air-raid sirens, power cuts, and sub-zero winters are part of daily life. But, thanks to amazing human resiliance, so are packed cafés, opera nights, and almond lattes. Alex shares his experience of having recently returned to Ireland. We talk about what living through a war actually feels like and the emotional toll it takes... not just on those there, but on the families watching from home. We also get into the strange, brilliant side story of how Alex, Niamh, and a small group of Irish expats in Kyiv set up a GAA club in the middle of it all.

Kingspan has announced the opening of applications for the 2026 Kingspan Kickstart Sports Fund (Kickstart), inviting athletes and sports organisations across Ireland to apply for financial support to help them progress in their sporting journeys. Now entering its fourth year, Kickstart is open to individuals and organisations across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The fund is designed to assist in removing financial barriers at the grassroots level, supporting aspiring athletes and sports organisations nationwide. Providing targeted funding from €1,000 per athlete and €2,500 per organisation, the fund supports essential costs such as equipment, training, travel, and other critical resources. Applications are welcomed from all communities and across all sporting disciplines. The Kingspan Kickstart committee assesses applications across two intake rounds between January and June 2026, with the first deadline approaching at the end of March. Kickstart uses a thoughtful selection process that considers not only sporting results but also values, growth potential, and character. This approach enables the fund to back a wide and inclusive range of athletes and organisations, from local GAA clubs to para-athletes and endurance competitors. "The biggest barrier to sporting success often isn't a lack of talent, it's a lack of opportunity. The Kingspan Kickstart Sports Fund exists to bridge that gap. We are incredibly proud to continue our support of grassroots sport across Ireland, backing athletes and organisations who possess the grit and determination to succeed, regardless of their discipline or background," said Richard Beswick, Global Partnerships and Sports Sponsorships Manager at Kingspan. Beyond helping to cover practical costs, Kickstart offers recognition and encouragement at critical moments in an athlete's development. Since its launch, Kingspan's Kickstart fund has awarded over €300,000 to successful candidates across Ireland. Recipients include Sligo surfer Gearóid McDaid, who won gold for Ireland at the European Surfing Championships in Santa Cruz, Portugal, last summer, and Megan Armitage, who represented Ireland in cycling at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games before turning her focus to triathlon. Kingspan plans to continue supporting both athletes as they progress in their sporting careers. Other Kickstart-funded athletes include legendary handballer Paul Brady and rising GT racing driver Alex Denning, as well as teams including the all-women TC Racing Junior Ladies Cycling Team, supporting their participation in competitions both at home and abroad. With a proud history of fostering sports development through partnerships such as RC Toulon, Uruguay Rugby, and Cavan GAA, Kingspan is committed to providing a platform for grassroots athletes, local sports clubs, and community facilities. Through Kickstart, Kingspan continues its support of grassroots sport, emerging talent, and impactful sporting initiatives that align with its values across Ireland. Applications for the 2026 Kingspan Kickstart Sports Fund are now open. Full eligibility criteria and application details are available via the entry portal. See more stories here.

On episode 211 I am delighted to be joined by Irish sprinting coach Gerard O'Donnell. Gerard is head coach at Dublin sprint where he trains elite athletes including Sophie Becker and Jack Rafferty, and national relay coach for all of the national squads. Gerard is also a national champion himself competing in the hurdles however is focusing on coaching and is a full time athletics coach. We discuss coaching, athletics, mechanics, how to program sprinting to get faster, his advice to GAA coaches, his approach with elite athletes and more. We discuss his thoughts on what separates the best from the rest, recent Irish success and who he learns from. This is a fascinating insight into the life and approach of an elite sprint coach with insights for anyone involved in not just athletics but GAA, Basketball, soccer and beyond. This episode was recorded in person in December 2025.

For many people who emigrate, the GAA becomes an important part of their life abroad. For decades now, the sport has been a way for people to find a community and settle in to a new city and country, especially one far from home, where things might be very different from what they're used to. But, it's now quickly becoming a new community for locals of the country to join too. Our reporter Emily Keegan was in China recently, where she met with players from the country's biggest GAA club in Shanghai, to learn more about it.

We start the show with a big question, Are The Buffalo Sabres Good? Sitting third in the Atlantic Division, can the Sabres snap their playoff drought this year?Sticking in the Atlantic, the Toronto Maple Leafs are struggling sitting five points out of the playoffs. Are Toronto's playoff hopes over?The Detroit Red Wings are a team that has surprised with their record so far and with an abundance of cap space could we see the Wings make a big splash before the Olympic Break or at the deadline to vault this team to another level in an Eastern Conference that remains relatively open for the taking?The Boston Bruins continue to hover around the final Eatern Conference playoff spot. Bruins' backup Joonas Korpisalo has been sensational since the beginning of 2026 with a 4-0-0 record, sub two GAA, and a SV% over .940. With Jeremy Swayman heading to the Olympics, could we see more starts by Korpisalo and a tandem forming similar to when the Bruins had Swayman and Linus Ullmark? The Pittsburgh Penguins are giving Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang their storybook farewell. Considered at the beginning of the season as a team that could turn the chapter on their veterans and rebuild, the Penguins currently sit second in the Metro Division and are riding a four-game winning streak.A big question for Penguins' GM Kyle Dubas will be what to do with Malkin? The veteran forward is a free agent after this year but has shown he still has gas left in the tank. With Crosby under contract still for next season, could we see Malkin resign and ride off into the sunset with his long-time teammate or will Dubas look to turn over this team to some of his younger prospects climbing the organizational ranks?Malkin and the Penguins' situation brings up the topic of development and is it better for younger players to grow with other young players and go through those growing pains together or is it better to have a group of seasoned veterans in the room to ease rookies into the league and pass down their wisdom?The Anaheim Ducks have had a rollercoaster season but sit third in the Pacific and are on a seven-game win streak. This mix of veterans and youngsters could be the blueprint for other teams going into a rebuilding stage or trying to breakout from their rebuilds to get back to contention. Evan Bouchard had a monster game Saturday posting six points, including his first ever hat trick in a 6-5 overtime win over the Washington Capitals. How rare was Bouchard's night for NHL defenders?Nikita Kucherov now sits third in NHL scoring and with Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid stealing a lot of the spotlight, it's hard to overlook the Russian winger's impact for the Tampa Bay Lightning who have had a slew of injuries this season yet still sit second in the Atlantic Division. Does Kucherov not get the attention he deserves on a national scale?Pat joins the show for another edition of Buy or Sell: Carter Hart and Adin Hill will be the goalie tandem for Vegas come playoffsVegas to win the PacificA big trade will occur before the Olympic BreakLastly, the guys discuss all the new faces that could be in the playoffs this season and if this parity is good for the NHL or if the parity devalues the Stanley Cup?0:00 - Intro3:15 - Are The Sabres Good?6:40 - Are Toronto's Playoff Hopes Over?11:15 - Red Wings in the Market12:05 - Boston Bruins15:00 - Pittsburgh Penguins15:20 - What Does Dubas Do With Evgeni Malkin?17:15 - Development21:40 - Anaheim Ducks28:00 - Bouchard Hatty35:30 - Nikita Kucherov38:40 - Buy or Sell50:55 - New Teams in the PlayoffsYou can get involved with all the NHL futures action over on bet365 by using the promo code NATION at bet365.comConnect with us on ⬇️TwitterInstagramWebsiteDaily Faceoff Merch Hosted on Acast.

‘A society,' Dostoevsky said, ‘should be judged not by how it treats its outstanding citizens but how it treats its prisoners.'In the U.K. Nigel Farage is promising to build bigger prisons and send prisoners to Estonia and El Salvador. There are more people in prison in the US than in any country in the world.On Free State today we look at how society gave up on prisoners. We examine why populism and media scares matter more than any idea of rehabilitation.

In 1986, a Limerick man called Terry Madigan came up with a plan to raise money for his local GAA club and community that everyone thought was crazy. Terry wanted to create a world record for the longest game of GAA football ever to be played. It would be 60 hours of football - non-stop on a full-sized pitch over a whole weekend. If this was going to work, it would need 14 brave men and the whole parish of Kilcornan to get involved. This is the story of that record attempt - the highs; the lows; the hallucinations - all set against the backdrop of a community of people bonded by the love of their parish and GAA.
