Today we spoke with David Cosgrave - Purposeful Leader in High Performance. A skilled, eloquent and resourceful strategic leader in high performance across multiple English Premier League, UEFA Europa and UEFA Champions League campaigns, David is now working in the MLS with Orlando City SC. David's career is synonymous with words like culture, leadership, purpose and high performance. He has experience having worked with clubs across different countries like FC Copenhagen, Fulham, Stoke City, Liverpool, Spurs and Bolton Wanderers. David completed a Master of Sports Directorship, was involved with Right to Dream, and co-founded The Leadership Bunker. Today we speak about what his role involves in Orlando, and what his day-to-day looks like; also, how he avoids burnout and what he does to stay fresh and energised. He unpacks the meaning and origins around his identity - 'purposeful leader in high performance'. We discuss how to find harmony between a busy and demanding professional life with being a parent and partner. We discuss mentorship, role modelling and would David come back to Ireland, plus a fond memory of his Irishness involving an ice cream van adventure.

#165 David Cosgrave - Senior Director of Sports Medicine and High Performance at Orlando City SC

“Purposeful work won't find you, you have to go and find it”I am proud to have had the good fortune of learning from one of the best I have come to know within the football industry over this past year. David Cosgrave &amp; the guys at The Leadership Bunker have drastically expedited my learning curve and enabled me to reflect and make sense of my journey to date and how I arrived here. Therefore I thought it was ample time to pass the buck and listen to David's own unique and captivating story.  Having spent nearly 20 years at a whole host of clubs including Liverpool, Spurs, Bolton &amp; Fulham it was his departure from Copenhagen which led to an intense period of self reflection and discovery. Recently appointed the new Director of Sports Medicine &amp; High Performance at Orlando City David is set to embark upon a new chapter in his life and career. This is a story of values, mission and never compromising on your purpose. Among what we discussed included;- The path from chiropractor to leading a whole MLS department?- Standing on the shoulders of giants at Bolton.- Does “service excellence” exist amid the never ending tension at top flight clubs?- The rise of purposeful value driven football clubs.- Losing inside to unpack whether or not your identity is tied to your job?- Why unlearning is more important than learning as a leader?- David's process for achieving buyin just 3 weeks out from the start of a new MLS season?Timestamps;00:00 - 03:44 - Intro03:45 - 09:36 - Pioneers09:37 - 15:20 - Values, mission &amp; purpose15:21 - 18:40 - Copenhagen18:41 - 25:05 - Burnout25:06 - 30:22 - Beyond the game30:23 - 39:26 - Leadership39:27 - 43:21 - AdviceDavid's LinkedIn; https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-cosgrave-09187b3/The Leadership Bunker; https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-leadership-bunker/John Demartini values assessment; https://drdemartini.com/values/
