Navigating New York

Alan O'Mara Founder of Real Talks

Sophie Colgan Season 7 Episode 7

On this episode I got to sit down in studio with Alan O’Mara , Founder of Real Talks, Author of ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ and  Host of ‘The Players Voice’ and ‘Real Talks’ Podcasts

Alan from County Cavan in Ireland has played at the top level in Gaelic Football and  in his early twenties Alan spoke out publicly about his battle with depression. His book “The Best is Yet to Come” gives a rare glimpse into the complex inner world of depression as well as guidance to those seeking solutions and inspiration for families and friends supporting loved ones.

Alan went on to become the founder of Real Talks, which  is all about developing the mental skills to live a happier, healthier and more successful life. Alan works with sports teams, individuals and businesses around the world and through one to one coaching and group masterclasses, Real Talks empowers resilience, performance, and well-being helping people to better prepare, perform and reflect.

Now based in New York, Alan and I connected last year and I am really intrigued by his experience and work around wellbeing and performance. In our chat, Alan and I discuss his own journey, his book, his career and life in New York as well as recently being appointed as the New York GAA Senior Football Manager for 2024.
