In this episode of the EY CFO Outlook podcast, Thelma O'Driscoll, CFO of the IRFU joins host Jonathan Healy to talk about her diverse career path, her passion for growing male and female rugby from the grassroots up, and how the role of CFO enables her to create a strong and sustainable financial foundation for the game.Thelma O'Driscoll's journey into the rugby world was not a direct one. Starting out in the family business, Thelma went on to work in various finance functions across computer manufacturing (Dell), telecommunications, and professional services. This diverse financial background has proven to be a solid foundation for her current role as CFO of the IRFU. And diversity has been a strong theme during Thelma's time in the male-dominated world of professional rugby. Having been the only female around the leadership table when she first joined in 2016, the organisation has since made huge strides, with 40% of the IRFU Union Committee now comprising female colleagues. Thelma is also very passionate about growing women's rugby and increasing investment in it. They also discuss:Financial Strategy - The IRFU is a not-for-profit organisation, meaning all revenue is reinvested into the game. Over half of the IRFU's €90m income is distributed to provinces, clubs and grassroots rugby.Challenges in Sports Finance - The IRFU's income varies in cycles, and careful management keeps national teams and grassroots rugby stable. Thelma explains why tough decisions are needed to invest wisely and control spending in order to maintain sustainability.Growing Women's Rugby - Women's rugby is experiencing rapid growth and the IRFU are committed to grow the game further and increase investment. This strategic plan includes decentralising the current model and moving to four contracted provincial women's teams. New sponsors like Goodfella's Pizza are investing in women's rugby, with more to come.The Future of Irish Rugby - At the moment Ireland is at the pinnacle of world rugby, but sustaining its position requires careful financial planning. With a debt-free model, Thelma's goal is to strengthen its finances with modern systems to support all levels of Irish rugby.

Welcome to episode 196 with Rory Lamont, who is a former professional Rugby Union player and the co-founder of CAIM, a health and wellness retreat centre in highland Scotland. During his time as a professional rugby player, Rory played for Glasgow Warriors, Sale Sharks and Toulon.  He has 29 international caps for Scotland and has represented his country in two world cups. Over the years he was plagued by various injuries and concussions and whilst playing against Wales in the 2012 Six Nations tournament, he suffered a career ending leg break. The injury, the surgeries, medical drugs and loss of both his career and identity pushed Rory in a mental and spiritual crisis which took him to the brink of ending his own life. The collapse of his physical and mental health forced Rory to confront himself and he travelled to Costa Rica where he experienced the transformational healing power of the plant medicine Iboga which helped him to identify the changes he needed to make and he began the journey of healing and inner work that would lead him to the work he does now. In this episode Rory guides me through the highs and lows of his rugby career and the injuries that kickstarted the decline in his mental health. We chat about his first experience with plant medicine and how it helped him and we chat about what we can learn from depression, about learning to let go and to be vulnerable, the importance of healing as part of a community and why this work needs to be made more accessible. We also chat about how scary it is to do these things, why men need rites of passage and the role of the hero's journey and we chat about some of the incredible things that Rory has witnessed while holding space and supporting others. It was wonderful to hear Rory's story and how he learned to navigate his struggles.  I can't thank him enough for his openness.  The work he does now feels vital and I came away from this conversation feeling hopeful and inspired.

Ed Jackson is a bloody inspiration. He was a professional rugby player before his career was cut short when he dived into a swimming pool and broke his neck. He nearly died and was told he would not walk again. But Ed worked his butt off and confounded the critics, going on to make a remarkable recovery - and has since developed something of a penchant for climbing mountains. And now, a movie has been made about his remarkable story, called The Mountain Within Me. It's currently in UK cinemas, and I can't recommend going to see it enough. This is a rerelease of the first conversation Ed and I had a few years ago, and I am chuffed that his epic story continues to develop in such impactful ways.

In episode #224 of Demystifying Mental Toughness, I share part of a conversation with Aaron Walsh a Mental Performance Coach with many Elite Professional Rugby Players.   We discuss whether elite professional rugby union players view mental toughness as something that they can develop, our role as Sports Psychology practitioners in measuring performance as well as coaches influence in the development of psychological characteristics and skills. Key Learning Points: Educating people in sport on the integration of Sports Psychology and Mental Skills is very important. Creativity is essential to thrive as a Sports Psychology Practitioner or Mental Performance Coach. Measuring the impact of our work as a practitioner is vital when working in a team setting.

Andrew Quattrin grew up in Canada playing the sport of rugby.

Andrew joins host Gabby Hurlbut to discuss his rugby journey and what it's like to be playing the sport professionally.

John was a professional rugby player and aspiring triathlete during the off-season when an eight-ton truck hit him as he trained on his bike. Medical experts set his chances at “pine or mahogany” and told the family not to expect him to make it through the day. John made it through that day. When he emerged from the coma, he asked about his bike, which had lost significance since he'd now use a wheelchair. Months of treatment and therapy eventually brought him to rebuilding his former self. As he lifted weights with his mate, his father asked, “How far can you go?” Far went well beyond pine box or mahogany. In over twelve hours of swimming, cycling, and wheelchair racing, John became the first paraplegic to meet all the cut-off times as an official finisher of the Kona Ironman. Then he swam the English Channel, the world's busiest shipping lane, in twelve hours and fifty-five minutes. Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, a Paralympic Medal, and learning to walk again well enough to finish the original triathlon for which he was training when the truck met his bike. And there's another challenge on the horizon.

In this episode, Ryan engages in a conversation with Joe Edwards, a professional rugby player from New Zealand who has transitioned to playing as a loose forward for RC Vannes in France's Rugby Pro D2. Joe's journey began in the All Blacks under '20s team and has now progressed into his thirties.In a pivotal moment at the tender age of 22, Joe faced a concussion that threatened to cast a shadow over his promising career. However, rather than viewing it as a setback, Joe perceived it as an opportunity to rejuvenate his sporting journey. Displaying tremendous courage, he made the audacious choice to bid farewell to his homeland of New Zealand, relinquishing the pursuit of his lifelong aspiration to represent the All Blacks on the international stage, and ventured to France instead. Little did he know that this bold move would not only shape his athletic trajectory but also unveil an entirely new passion: the captivating world of property.Tune in to learn more about:Joe's first game playing at the top levelThe injury that almost put Joe's professional career to an end when he was 22 years oldWhat makes it hard about being injured when one is a pro athlete and how Joe got through hisLearning your trade in multiple facets as a pro playerHis bold decision to refresh his career in FranceThe amazing French sports culture and passion Why it is important to refine the direction you want to transition to as early as possibleHow he found his other passion out of rugby; in property… and so much more! Are you looking for Career Clarity for your next step, for more information, or to book a consultancy, make sure you check outwww.2ndwind.io Links:LinkedIn: Joseph Edwards Instagram: @joseph_edwards

We talk with Danny Christensen about his path from youth rugby in Utah to the MLR. 

In episode #161 I chat with Author, Coach Educator and Performance Rugby Consultant, Paul Phillips.  We discuss his experiences of developing high performance cultures in professional rugby.  Paul also shares some research on tackling and how to overcome fears with helpful triggers as well as other fascinating insights. Key Learning Points: In Rugby at the lower levels fear is very prominent. Establishing values and behaviours that are coupled with a vision for the team and club is an essential part of culture development. Why can't we generate behaviours before thoughts and emotions? James Clear's two-minute rule in the book Atomic Habits is a good way to start to develop habitual behaviours. The size of the opponent in rugby can be a big factor in activating fear. Visual, kinaesthetic and auditory cues and triggers are helpful in dealing with fear when tackling. Using metaphors such as images of animals or superhero's is a helpful trigger for adults and children. The development of positive relationships between players and coaches is a hallmark of high performing teams. Extrinsic environments are rife largely down to the way messages are communicated from senior staff and coaches in clubs and organisations. Too much focus on external factors results in lower emotional control.

If you're a rugby fan like me, you're going to love this week's episode. Let's listen to how John Van Der Giessen, a former professional rugby player for the USA Eagles, went from a pro athlete to a real estate entrepreneur. John Van Der Giessen is a former rugby union player with a successful 15-year career under his belt. He represented the United States as captain of the USA Eagles in the 2007 and 2011 World Cup, etching his name into US rugby history. John traveled the world to learn the sport and spent more than a decade building his career as a remarkable athlete. But just like all other athletes, his time to chase another goal came. Today, John is a successful real estate executive and Partner at REM Capital. John and his multi-talented team now have over $300 million in total assets under management, more than 3,400 units, and $1.5 billion managed by group leadership. While his success as a real estate investor rings clear today, the transition from an international professional athlete to an entrepreneur wasn't easy. In today's episode, we talk about John's challenges coming out of professional sport and paving his way through the real estate world. We touch on a lot of essential aspects of business, including building an efficient team, creating a healthy work culture, staying motivated, and more. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Keep your body moving; do something every day. 2. Planting seeds ahead of time can ease the transition from one career to another. 3. You have to keep bringing value to your investors to maintain your momentum, but investors can appreciate you taking a break and explaining to them why. 4. Building an effective team is about creating a healthy, supportive work culture. 5. Forming a talented, efficient team is much like sport—attracting and keeping talent and helping them become the best. 6. Lack of engagement is one of the biggest downfalls in any industry. 7. Set clear expectations with your partners to avoid miscommunications down the road.
