Coaching From Inside
the Game

Hello, I'm Shane. Welcome to my consultancy page. My background is hurling, but the work here applies across many sports. I have coached at the highest level in Ireland and was part of an All-Ireland winning inter-county management team. I still play hurling at senior club level myself, which gives me an insight into what players experience in the modern game.

Through Master Coach Consultancy I work with coaches, athletes and teams who are serious about getting better. My purpose of bringing high-performance to as many players and coaches as possible drives my passion for this work. In practice that covers game models, physical development, culture, standards, and the daily habits that turn ability into consistent performance.

Expect straight answers. I'll tell you where you really are, not where it feels good to hear you are. And I'll back you to own what you do about it.

01 / HOW I WORK

What I Stand For

Three things, and they build on each other. Tell the truth, accept where you really are, then own what you do about it. Everything I do with a coach, athlete or team runs through these.

01
Tell the truth

Radical Honesty

I'll say the thing most people are thinking but won't say. No sugar-coating, no telling you what you want to hear. You can't fix what nobody's willing to name out loud.

02
Face where you are

Self-Acceptance

Real progress starts with an honest look in the mirror. Owning your strengths and your gaps without ego or excuses. You can't build from a place you won't admit you're standing in.

03
Do something about it

Taking Ownership

Once the truth's on the table, it's on you. No blaming the ref, the weather or the lads. The people who get better are the ones who take full responsibility for the next step.

02 / SERVICES

What I Offer

Three areas of focus. For the coaches who lead, for the athletes who compete, and for the teams that want to show up when it actually counts.

A

For Coaches

Coaching Workshops

Practical, no-fluff workshops on session design, game models and the ideas that make coaching actually work. Have a look at the topics further down.

Coaching Consultancy

One to one work to sharpen your framework, your game model and the environment you create, built around how you really coach rather than how a textbook says you should.

Coach Audits

An honest look at how you coach. Your sessions, your communication, your process. You'll get the truth, not flattery, plus clear actions to raise your standard.

B

For Athletes

One to One Coaching

Individual coaching for athletes who want to sharpen their game. We work through clear goal setting, honest video analysis of your performance, and focused in-person sessions on what will actually move you forward.

C

For Teams

Team Consultancy

I work alongside your management to build a game model, the structures around it and a clear plan that fits your group, not someone else's.

Team Audits

A full, honest review of where your team really stands, on and off the pitch, so you can see the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

03 / WORKSHOPS

Workshop Topics

Focused sessions you can book on their own or stack together into a proper development programme for your coaches or athletes.

01

Key Considerations in Session Planning

This one comes in two parts. First, how to build a game model into the way you design sessions. Second, how to fold strength and conditioning principles into your everyday training instead of bolting them on.

02

Game-Day Protocols

Clear routines for before, during and after a game, so players know exactly how to prepare, how to respond when things go sideways, and how to recover properly.

03

Building a Team Culture

How to define, build and protect a culture and a set of standards that actually hold up when the pressure comes on.

04

Coaching Purpose & Identity

Getting clear on who you are as a coach. Your purpose, your philosophy and the identity that quietly shapes every decision you make.

05

Communication On & Off the Field

Real communication skills for the sideline, the dressing room and the everyday relationships that hold a team together.

06

Stats That Matter

Cutting through the noise to find the numbers that actually matter, and how to run analysis sessions with players that change performance instead of boring everyone.

and many more. Get in touch to build a programme around what your group actually needs.
