Niall Breslin contacted OTB AM this morning to clarify his position with regard to the Tipperary hurling team.
The Irish Independent this morning reported that 'Bressie' had been helping the Tipp players with on the psychological side of their preparations, working under manager Michael Ryan. It was also reported that Breslin was working alongside Gerry Hussey and Tony Óg Regan, both of whom have a background in sports psychology.
However, following a discussion on this morning's OTB AM between Ger Gilroy and Eoin Sheahan, Bressie got in touch to clarify his position.
Niall was clear to say that Hussey and Óg Regan were the sports psychologists for the Tipp team, and that he was brought in by the pair to work on some mindfulness training with the staff. In part, this is due to his study of an MSc in Mindfulness Based Interventions at University College Dublin, with a focus on elite sport.
The course covers a wide range of areas, such as the neuroscience and physiology of mindfulness & postive psychology.
You can watch OTB AM from 7:45 every weekday morning on our Facebook, YouTube and Periscope channels. If you would like to see more sporting videos, like and subscribe any of our pages or log onto offtheball.com.
