Irish dancing wasn’t something that he wanted do, but after being made do it by his mother whilst growing up in New York, Padraic Moyles’ talent and determination to succeed were key to his future life and career.

He went on to perform over 5,500 times for Riverdance and I wanted to find out the physical and mental training needed to succeed at such a high level for so long, performing eight shows a week for over three hundred days of the year.

And if you think you’re fit, you’ll never guess what Padraic’s resting heart rate was – see if yours is as low as his as Padraic tells the story of the worried physician in LA.

Padraic’s mindset, and it’s one to be adopting for your own training as well as work and personal life, is about a conscious effort to always improve and be better.  Embrace competition and face it head-on as well as getting help and advice to achieve your goals.
