His look back at the past and the telltale signs of his behaviours were something everyone in the room could recognise in others. To see such a big man with a serious sporting profile behind him talk about these issues connected with our young adult members.

He spent some time giving the lads a framework for how to deal with someone who may be speaking to them about their struggles. He also focussed on methods to bring the positives in one's life to the forefront of the mind through breathing techniques and meditation. His warm personality and empathetic approach worked in creating an atmosphere of openness and awareness. His talk was a complete success and the feedback received from the players was so positive. Thanks Niall.

I have been talking with the students over the last few days and they all really enjoyed the talk. The big draw for them was the introduction and backstory as it has made them really reflect on how things are a moment in time and can pass.

They really enjoyed the interactive breath work and how you many times throughout the session referred to them as people who have value.

The video of Coco's Law really struck a chord with them also, possible including a little more around the bullying piece could be good, as this is a nig area for most of our students. It is the main reason for leaving school.

“..Niall provides talks, discussions and interactive sessions rooted in sound theory but presented in a format that appeals to children whilst challenging them to think and reflect in a non-threatening environment. He is able to inspire self-esteem, self-awareness and resilience in young people through the way he interacts and works with them. In short the kids will have a ball while learning important life skills.”

“ ..Niall visited our LCA students to give a talk about the importance of being resilient to help overcome challenges. He shared different stories & tools, along with showing the importance of how physical exercise and breathwork can be used as positive outlets. He built a great rapport with students and they really enjoyed the experience.”

“..Can not Thank NBK enough. Niall came into our day service today to some a workshop with our service users. Niall went above and beyond with the lads they all felt so comfortable and took part in Niall's activities it was amazing how some of the guys opened up to Niall who they had never met before. Can't thank him enough. Great guy. Great job. Thanks Niall”

“..I was totally engaged in the talk today. I felt that I was put at ease and most importantly the individuals who use KITE appeared to be at ease and fully engaged. The relaxed vibe was what achieved this I believed. You spoke to our individuals not at them. The information shared was very relatable, easy to follow and real. It was fun and engaging. Keep up the good work.”

“..All classes really enjoyed listening to you and hopefully will take away some nuggets of wisdom. You have a great rapport with the children.”

“..He engages with each year group and knows what are the most appropriate topics to discuss, from mental health to the choices we make in life.. as one of my teachers said. 'He needs no bells or whistles'”

“...He had a great rapport with them and was very funny..”

Niall visited us in Gorey Youthreach a few days ago to give a workshop. It was really excellent! He went through being resilient and overcoming challenges with the learners and also showed them how breathwork can be so beneficial.

The learners were really engaged and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend this workshop!

The session was engaging and well-paced, with a perfect balance of informative talk and interactive exercises. Niall, the instructor, is a natural at connecting with the students. The feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive, and we are already planning to book them again for next year. Highly recommend!
