Larry G. Maguire
Performance Psychology Writer
I'm Larry, small business owner, writer, researcher, and psychology graduate. From an academic base in psychology, 20+ years in business, and amateur endurance sport, I aim to assist athletes and the self-employed find clarity and direction in career & work.
Some Background…
Qualifications
I am an honours graduate in psychology from DBS Dublin (PSI accredited) and graduate member of the Psychological Society of Ireland. My work is informed through personal experience and established research and theory. Outside official programs and CPD course work, I continue to research and write on expertise, creativity and human performance.
Experience
My business experience began at 25 and spans 20+ years in the construction and service industries. In sport, I've been an enthusiastic and committed amateur involved in the GAA since I was a child. But I became too slow, so I took up extreme endurance running completing over 80 marathons and ultra events. Today I run for fitness.
Background
My background is in small business and endurance sport, so I work best with athletes, freelancers, and the self-employed. I take a systematic and methodical approach to optimal human performance, helping you develop and refine the psychological skills necessary to function and deliver your best under pressure and high stakes.
Work
I work with individuals and teams in business, sport or the arts, exploring the psychological processes influencing behaviour and performance. Whether you are an experienced business owner, amateur or professional sportsperson, writer, musician or stage performer, I can help you find clarity & direction in your career and work.
About Performance Psychology
The psychology of performance attempts to understand the human cognition and behaviour associated with the pursuit of excellence and optimal performance. It is applicable to a wide range of domains including the arts, business, sport, medicine, music, emergency services and many others. A performance psychology coach or consultant helps performers in these domains, manage anxiety, cope under pressure, develop their mental game and deliver their best work on a consistent basis.
