Rob Kearney on being his best
 “The margins at the moment between people at high levels in sport or high levels in business are just getting smaller and smaller and smaller. If I can improve myself even by that 1 per cent then I will improve my own performance . . . and then you are adding more to the team, which is the primary goal when you go out to play at the weekend.”  In this article Rob Kearney also talks about mindfulness and worrying about the future.  He’s taking part in the “Be Your Best” programme which is a joint initiative between The Irish Times and Potential Life aims to bring out the best in people both inside and outside of the workplace.
