412: Rethinking Halftime: Why Less is More in Coaching with Eamon Devlin of Minute Nine

Ever wondered what really goes on during halftime, and if those intense locker room talks actually work? In this insightful episode, we sit down with Eamon Devlin, founder of Minute Nine, a consultancy revolutionizing how sports teams communicate under pressure.

Eamon, a former lawyer, shares the personal story that led him to analyze halftime communication and why traditional "blow-ups" often do more harm than good. Discover why the most successful teams embrace brevity and clarity in their messages, and how focusing on player well-being can lead to better second-half performances.

Whether you're a coach, athlete, or simply curious about peak performance, Eamon's perspective will challenge your assumptions and offer fresh insights into leadership and team dynamics.
