Bits & Bobs: Joe returns! | McIlroy's Masters countdown | Munster vs ROG

Conan is joined in studio by sports psychologist Kate Kirby, chatting through the evolution of her profession over the years - from being met with suspicion by managers and players alike, to their full integration into high performance systems around the world.
They discuss the realities of her work with Olympians (like Rio 2016 silver medalist Annalise Murphy), the inherent bias that teams with home advantage experience and how athletes overcome the ‘bottler’ tag in time of extreme pressure.
Finally, Kirby breaks down whether the widely embraced  “we were written off” approach really works - an answer which will resonate in GAA dressing rooms across the country.

What LIV golf and horse racing has in common, a Munster U-20 hurling save that has gone viral in the US and Joe's doodling relapse are on the menu too.
