Lisa is a former international and director on the board of Hockey Ireland, and now managing the team. From 2006-2014 she amassed 139 caps for the Irish Women's Hockey Team. After nearly a decade at the top in hockey she switched sports playing for the Irish Women's Rugby 7's squad for 18 months. Lisa, a huge advocate for women's sport in Ireland, has a degree in Psychology and a Masters diploma in Executive Coaching from the Irish Management Institute.

Today we speak about the lessons she can share with the elite hockey players she works with...how they can be their best self. Mindset comes through massively as Lisa discusses how to reframe circumstances that may at first seem negative, as well as the story behind Hidden Strength, her company.

We talk about completing the ultra-marathon the Race around Ireland, one of the "World's Toughest Endurance Events" - and why Lisa and her partner Nikki raised money for supporting the Irish mental health charity 'Suicide or Survive'. Lisa shares the philosophy around 'Raise Her Game', a 20x20 inspired female sports coach mentoring programme. Lisa is passionate about human potential - and is a giver. Thanks for joining us!
