Description

In this episode of Peak Performance for Soccer, Alex is joined by Lorcán Mason, a PhD researcher and performance practitioner from Ireland. Lorcán shares his journey across Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk, and Finn Harps, reflecting on the challenges of being a “one-man department” in smaller clubs. The conversation explores practical monitoring tools like wellness questionnaires and session RPE, how to apply low-resource strategies effectively, and the importance of contextualizing data through conversations with athletes. Lorcán also discusses periodisation in congested schedules, triangulating data points, and why communication and trust matter as much as the metrics themselves.
