In this episode of the podcast I was delighted to welcome on

& elite handballer who has competed at a national &
inter-national level in handball, previously winning a doubles

understanding momentum, difference between individual & team
sport, controlling gameplay and how to successfully compete as a
team.


Niall speaks on how sports science has affected his
training,  gameplay strategies in the different codes of
handball as well as mental strategies that can be applied to both
individual & team sports.
