Failure is a given in life and in sport, but the reaction to failure can’t be guaranteed. On this week’s Saturday Panel Off the Ball will ask about failure, failing again and failing better.
The discussion is inspired by the excellent Fail Better exhibition currently on in Trinity College, and a talk given at that exhibition by Sonia O’Sullivan, on the psychology of failing.
Ger Gilroy will be joined in studio by Joe Sheridan, Meath footballer, David Gillick, one of Ireland’s finest athletes and celebrity Master Chef, and Caroline Currid, the CEO of Unica Performance and someone who has worked with a long list of All-Ireland winners and international athletes.
You can watch the video of O'Sullivan's talk on failure below and listen in live to the Panel discussion on the same topic from 2pm. If you miss the panel, we’ll have it podcasted shortly after it finishes.
