About Alan
Alan Heary is a renowned peak performance consultant to some of Ireland’s top sport and business professionals. He regularly works with a wide range of companies from entrepreneurs starting new businesses, to fortune 500 companies.
Alan has a degree in Sport Science and Health and is a member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). He frequently appears on local and National radio stations, where he is known as “Mr Motivator” to the people who he helps achieve their fitness goals.
Alan started out in the fitness industry managing and then owning his own gym. To add to his arsenal of psychological tools, he studied hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and stress management.
Alan has worked with World Champions, Olympic athletes, and professional and amateur football teams. His work in hypnotherapy led him to work both in and out of the ring, with former World Super Middle Weight Champion, Steve Collins. His work with the Australian Institute of Sport at the Sunshine Coast University, Queensland, included preparation of Australian National teams, for major competitions.
More recently, Alan has taken his experience in working and travelling with some of the World’s best athletes, and now delivers seminars and workshops on the links between sport, business and entertainment. He regularly advises some of Ireland’s most successful business people providing them with the essential mental skills needed for performance excellence. He has utilised these same skills and transferred them to the world of entertainment where his clients include musicians, actors and movie directors.
In 2008 he successfully transformed a team of cyclists from leisure to elite riders before entering them in the toughest bike race in the World – The Race Across America. With only six months preparation this team not only smashed the Irish record but narrowly missed out on winning the event. In 2011 he took it one step further by mentoring a solo rider to help him become the first Irish man to finish the race. As a result of the experiences of 2008, he set up The Race Around Ireland, which has now become one of the most prestigious events on the world cup circuit and attracts riders from all over the world.
Alan will present not only a motivational session for your company, but also an educational one. He provides a session packed with case studies and stories from the sporting, business and entertainment world presented in a fun and interactive way, allowing you to leave the session energised and armed with strategies and techniques guaranteed to bring about positive and lasting results.
His most popular motivational seminar is “Using World Championship Success for Business”.
He is currently the race director of the Ultra Endurance World Cup cycling event Race Around Ireland and is one of the founders of the Cycling Academy website http://yourcyclingacademy.com
