He's Irish. That just about says it all right there – funny, rascally, and full of natural warmth and wisdom .... combined with a wealth of business and life experience and many years of presenting keynotes and workshops to executives and their teams including the themes of his book, "Releasing the Beast Within - a Path to Mental Toughness"
Rowland McGabhann (pronounced "McGowan") tells a compelling and inspirational story of his life journey from a poverty stricken childhood, his paralysis at age 26, his ability to set goals and motivate himself to self-driven total recovery which led to his equalling the European record in the Barefoot Water Skiing Championships.
He holds a Black Belt in Taekwaondo, he has owned and operated ski schools in Spain and the Whitsundays, and in the 80's was a successful importer and restorer of European sports cars. He has accumulated his vast experience and expertise as a communicator not just as a sports performance coach but also has worked as a stunt man where he appeared in films like “Country Dance”, “Great Escape”, “The Quiet American” And “Excalibur”.
Since moving to Australia, Rowland has grown his reputation as businessman, mentor & one of Australia's leading speakers.
