Mental Toughness with Ex-Special Forces Ray Goggins
This week is all about mental toughness – without having to jump out of a helicopter or survive in the jungle! Ray Goggins is a Former Army Ranger & Tier 1 Special Operations unit leader. Ray is as tough as they come and is also known from hit TV show Ultimate Hell Week on RTÉ where he has regularly made regular Joe Soaps and some celebs regret ever going on the show. He is author of the best-selling and fascinating book Ranger 22 – Lessons from the Front. From the hills of south Lebanon to the monsoon jungles of Southern Asia, Ray has operated in a life-and-death world. In Liberia, Afghanistan and the snow-covered Balkans, Ray has seen conflict zones, terrorist attacks and hostage rescues, and has learned the greatest life lessons: how to control fear, how to react calmly and positively, and what mental toughness is really all about.
I also want to introduce you to a man who has dedicated his career to understanding what makes people mentally tough, what mental toughness actually is, the common misconceptions and if it’s something we’re born with or something we learn through living. Dr. John Perry is co-author of the fascinating book Developing Mental Toughness and found his way from the UK to the University of Limerick where he conducts world-leading research on the topic. As a sports and high-performance psychologist he works with elite athletes, educators and business people to help them uncover the secrets of achieving true success without getting in their own way.

Tickets are on sale now so check out dermotwhelan.com for all the details and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and meet you all. The show will be a mix of comedy, craic, meditation and inspiration and hopefully an evening where you can relax and have a laugh and pick up some useful and fun tools too. If you’ve been feeling wound up, worn down, snowed under or bowled over this is the show for you so grab your stressed-out besties and your bedraggled partners, and join me as I travel all over Ireland and beyond and we’ll un-wreck our heads and destress our lives together. Incidentally, I love to see teenagers at my shows too - you just gotta be over 14.
