Drilling Deeper
Tony has worked in multiple sports at both the individual and team level. While studying Human Kinetics at Dalhousie University, Canada he became the varsity men’s team’s mental skills coach while a student of sports psychology. Upon his return to Ireland he fulfilled the same role with the Dublin Hurlers helping them bridge a 52 year wait to win the Leinster Championship. This was where he honed his craft – introducing his own form of group facilitated experience that built strong bonds between members of the team. Players felt more deeply connected to eachother and their shared purpose. He brought this approach into the corporate sector in 2013 working across industries including tech, healthcare and telecoms.
But it was when he began working with the Kerry Senior Footballers in 2022 that two decades of learning and discovery intersected with a high performing team in search of success. His work with this team and his role in their winning the All Ireland Football Championship was lauded by both the team manager and leading players.
Tony has continued in his role as a performance advisor to the Kerry Senior football team helping players maximise their on-field mental performance and team connection. He has also worked with elite boxers and artists in others fields helping them to reduce their performance anxiety and derive more meaning and joy living their dreams.
‘Tony has the ability to help an individual open up and find a sense of self-belief inside yourself without saying many words.’

In this captivating keynote talk, you' re team will embark on a journey of personal and collective empowerment. Tony shares his experiences as an athlete, coach, and leader, highlighting the transformative power of overcoming fear and tapping into the flow state. We'll explore how to create a team environment where individuals feel inspired, supported, and challenged to reach beyond their perceived limitations. Together, we'll discover the secrets to cultivating flow and a culture of inspiration, collaboration, and unwavering resilience – the building blocks of high-performing teams that leave an indelible mark on the world. Tony Griffin has spent the last 25 years studying individual and group performance. He knows what unlocks potential at both levels. When he works with your organisation he has a profoundly unique approach built on experience of what moves groups to their highest potential. “I see every group as a murmuration - you have the individual and you have their symbiotic relationship with the group. I work at both levels. At the individual level every talk I give I expand perspectives of what is possible and motivate actions towards the realisation of that possibility. This is because I want people to experience more joy and inner peace in their lives. And it is because I know from experience that it is from this place that they do their best work. But each individual is a part of something bigger – the group. So I show them how to create a group dynamic that naturally helps each individual perform at a higher level. I help the group create more belonging for each member so that the group can access more moments of collective flow. Individual and Group – it is a symbiotic relationship and I transform both so that the sum is so much greater than the parts.
