from The Sideline Live Podcast · host The Sideline Live
On episode 238 I am very excited to be joined by Clinical Sports Psychologist Jo-Anne Browne.

Jo-Anne and I discuss her work and role, identity, Psychological rest and switching off, advice to coaches & parents and more. We also delve into breathing and breath work, the important parts of breathing, the individual approach and some live feedback on my own technique! This was a very enjoyable episode with Jo-Anne and was recorded on The Sport Ireland Campus in late May.
