Caroline Currid BSc MSc (Biography)

Caroline has a number of clients across the broad spectrum of Irish sport but her achievements as a performance coach in the field of Gaelic Games have been ground-breaking. In 2008, she worked with All-Ireland football champions Tyrone. In 2009 and 2010, she was Performance coach with the Tipperary hurlers, assisting them to become All-Ireland champions for the first time in ten years. In 2011, she was an integral part of the Dublin footballers’ backroom team as they bridged a 16 year gap to win the All-Ireland title.

What some of the players who have worked with Caroline have publicly stated about her Performance coaching:

“I was listening to too many people and worrying too much about my opponent’s strengths. I now find myself playing with a greater freedom, that I focus more on my own game without over analysing it, which is where Caroline came in, helping me come up with some little buzzwords to keep myself loose.” – Kevin Nolan (Dublin) Man-of-the-match in the 2011 All-Ireland football final.

“In the past, I would have been wrecked with nerves before a big game. But this summer, I talked it through with Caroline and we worked it out. She just had a very simple and honest way of dealing with you. She’d hear you out and then between us we’d come up with the best way to approach it.” – Kevin McMenamin (Dublin) scorer of Dublin’s goal in the 2011 All-Ireland football final.

“Caroline Currid is like a sister, she’s so easy to talk to.” – Tipperary’s Lar Corbett, scorer of three goals in the 2010 All-Ireland hurling final.

“Before I’d have put too much pressure on myself taking frees. I’d be thinking ‘This HAS to go over’ Caroline taught me to relax and take a few deep breaths and think more ‘This IS going over’” – Tommy McGuigan (Tyrone), goalscorer in the 2008 All-Ireland final.

What is Performance Coaching?

Performance coaching strives to help a person perform better. Increasing performance even a little bit can have a dramatic impact on athletes, teams, managers and the bottom line of most companies.

Performance coaching produces substantial results – on many levels.

Many organizations are investing more in Performance coaching because they’ve realised it can really make a difference, not only to the performance of executives, managers, high potential professionals, but it leads to real business results as well.

Performance Coaching is powerful because it helps us to eliminate obstacles, to focus on what can be done.
