James Cluskey

Ireland’s renowned Tennis Pro James Cluskey, now an Executive Coach, has spent a lifetime delivering high performance. His achievements on the court had him represent Ireland in the Davis Cup from 2006-2015. As a tennis pro, James won 15 professional titles and was ranked 145 in the world.

From a young age, James learned and applied self-discipline, goal-orientated success and consistent high performance, both on the court and in training. In 2018, James and 3 others undertook the physically and mentally gruelling challenge of attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest doubles tennis match – over 60 hours. Despite physical fatigue, James’s sheer determination and winning mindset ensured that he succeeded in achieving his long-standing goal.

James captained the Louisiana State University Tennis Team to a Top 10 US ranking and, as veteran of the Irish Davis Cup team, he took on the role of mentoring new international team members. On retiring from professional tennis, James graduated with a Personal and Executive Coaching qualification. His other qualifications include a BA in Business and a Diploma in Sports Psychology.
