About Tommy Mooney
Hi, my name is Tommy Mooney, a UKSCA & ASCA accredited strength & conditioning coach working in the Sports Surgery Clinic and with Dublin GAA. A graduate S&C MSc student at St Mary’s University, based in the SSC Sports Medicine.
Coaching Experience:
I am very fortunate, as this position affords me the opportunity to work with some of the most promising athletic talents in Ireland:
Some of the athletes and teams I've had the fortune of working with:
Coaching Philosophy:
I firmly believe in personally setting high standards for myself and ensuring all the athletes I work with strive to attain and surpass these standards. For coaches and athletes alike, there is no definitive formula in the pursuit of excellence. There is a concoction of ingredients, depending on the individual situation that can inspire or deter you along the road to success. My experiences have led me to believe that these are some of the essential ingredients crucial in the pursuit of excellence.
Sporting History:
Having played field sports (GAA, soccer and rugby) throughout my youth, I was always fascinated with how I could maximise my performance off the pitch. Naturally, this led to me becoming quite keen on nutrition, strength training and conditioning. Although, I shudder now at the thought of some of my former diets and programmes (8-hour arms?).
Nowadays, I compete as an Olympic weightlifter for Capital Strength Weightlifting Club. Although coaching is my primary passion, I believe a great S&C coach should practice what they preach; This doesn’t mean one needs to squat 200kg or run a sub 10s 100m (although that can certainly help). But after all, we are in the business of improving performance and being able to empathise physiologically, psychologically or competitively with your athletes is an invaluable asset as a coach.
