John Cooney plays for Ulster Rugby in the URC and has been capped 11 times by Ireland. He previously played for Leinster Rugby where he won a Champions Cup, and Connacht Rugby where he won the Pro 12 title. He played for Lansdowne fc in the All-Ireland League where we played together briefly.
In the podcast he talks about how his mindset massively changed midway through his career, why he wasn’t himself while playing with Leinster and why he saw a councillor earlier in his career.
Cooney talks about his process for dealing with pressurized situations like last minute kicks to win games, how he prepares mentally for games and what he feels is most important for players to do to perform at their peak.

This was an unreal chat. From Jack having me in stitches laughing, to chatting about mental health challenges, and just being intrigued throughout. Have a listen, you’ll enjoy it.
Jack played for Irish 20s, Ulster, Highlanders, Ospreys and Toyota Shuttles.
His mental health took a huge toll on him recently and he decided to walk away and retire from rugby.
We chat about his journey in the game that took him across the world to playing with All Blacks Aaron Smith and Shannon Frizzell. He shares some mad stories like the time he was detained by boarder security guards, essentially becoming an invalid for a period of time, and having to pull off the motorway to rush himself to A&E.
Cheers to Jack for a great chat, was a pleasure!
