My guest for this episode is Paul McVeigh. Paul was a professional footballer for nearly 20 years, playing for clubs in the English Premier League such as Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City. He also gained 40 caps internationally for Northern Ireland.
He made over 300 appearances and was a key member of 2 Championship winning teams, rising to the pinnacle of English soccer. Paul is also the author of the ironically entitled “The Stupid Footballer is Dead”. After his playing career Paul worked as a sports psychologist and was the first person ever to play in the English Premier League and qualify with a Masters in Psychology. Paul now works with some of the biggest organisations in the world to help their teams and leaders master their metal game and performance.
Paul and I met on the speaking circuit several years ago and I’m delighted to have him on the podcast to share some lessons from arguably the most ruthless industry on the planet!
