What did you all think of the episode? We love hearing from you!

[@flynngames4703]

Rory is more interesting to listen to than 99.9% of any other athlete. It's not just about golf. Really enjoyed this.

[@humphrey]

As a big Rory fan it was great to hear what hes more into in his personal life. You guys did a great job interviewing him and letting him speak too! Love it

[@icanflypod]

Thank you!

[@tonybytheway7543]

Great interview. Love the openess and honesty. Rory's my favourite all time golfer but its so great to hear him talk on other subjects and life in general. Here's hoping for a Masters win next week which he deserves so much.

[@jasongmur286]

Let's go Rors! We golf is grateful for you!

[@andrewphilips2457]

Interesting interview. Enjoy hearing the holistic discussion and approach to things as I've been interested in it for years. I wish Morgan all the best on his challenging journey!

[@andrewryan2963]

As a Englishman in Australia, I love listening and watching Rory fantastic guy and a legend of this great game 💥💥

[@michellelee789]

Grateful for this podcast episode. Flow is something we can achieve again and again if one truly allow oneself to feel and stay grounded. We often try to analyze the how and what to get oneself back there. Try allowing and giving oneself permission to be.

[@icanflypod]

Thanks for tuning in and supporting the podcast!

@@icanflypod @rorymcilroy You guys might be interested in the book You are here by Thich Nhat Hanh. He has a poem in the book that helps me return to myself again and again.

[@thomasfluent480]

Really enjoyed this introspection into Rory outside of golf. ICanFly is quickly becoming the Pod series you want to follow if you’re interested in getting to know people beyond their known profession and it’s truly refreshing. Every episode brings something special. MH & JC 👊❤️

[@nickupjohn8586]

Completely captivated by the interview with Rory , great questions and discussion, thank you guys this was my first time watching and listening to you guys, I will now go visit your previous work.

[@jonvagelatos4058]

Unreal podcast. Keep it up

[@davisnordell9998]

So awesome to see and hear of this side of Rory. Well done gents.

[@christopherbrady8962]

Just started diving into the mental side of golf. This is awesome to listen to and watch. A little insight to what the pros deal with and work on. Good stuff! Thank you for sharing!

[@davidellis1923]

well done, very good interview. Thankyou

[@craigregan2972]

Fantastic listen. I've always wanted to hear this side of Rory. There's so much more to him than golf. Great job guys.

[@entreezytherealtor]

Awesome episode, exactly what I was looking for!

[@icanflypod]

Thanks for listening! Glad you enjoyed!

[@andershaukoos]

Wish Rory would do more podcasts, or even start his own. Very interesting!

[@greatwhiteshark9192]

If you don't fear the unknown....the unknown will be kind to you 😵‍💫love it!get that swagger going..get that bounce back in your step..walk tall..breathe deep and see the great shots before you hit them...and that green jacket you been waiting for will be yours Rory!!

[@user-vq2mx1tm7l]

Wow this was great 👏🏻👏🏻

[@nickyd922]

Great conversation. We often forget atheletes are human too. Hello from Dublin, Ireland!

[@kevinsuitt3599]

Great job guys! What a humble and grounded session! Transcends all sports and life. Awesome!

[@icanflypod]

Thanks for tuning and supporting the channel!

[@lucaszamorano823]

Incredible conversation! First time on the Chanel and I loved the questions you guys asked and what you added personally. Obviously I love hearing from Rory too, specially in such depth. One thing I would have like to ask Rory if I was there, actually 2 things. First, how does he deal with days that are not perfect as the one he described (5 o’clock-6 am wake up, gym etc) how do you guys do when you slept bad, etc. And also I noticed that he is not using whoop anymore. Any idea why? Thanks for the pod guys great work

[@icanflypod]

Thanks for tuning in! Appreciate the support.

[@longbowshooter]

love this podcast. keep going guys

[@icanflypod]

Thanks for the support!

[@nigelby]

Outstanding interview 👏 The humanity in the person that leads to the whole person. Fantastic line of questioning and true answers. Definitely the best interview of Rory. Truly well done👌

[@icanflypod]

thanks for the love! Glad to hear you enjoyed

[@fergusmckie4336]

WOw What Guest

[@quebecgibbins3560]

When you guys talked about faith and the alchemist. One good book I’ve read was The Tools by Phil stutz. Stutz is Jonah hill’s psychiatrist who Jonah made a documentary of his life on Netflix

[@maxmoir6645]

Rory wearing Sunday Red

[@robthomas3968]

Rick shields will be upset he’s wanted Rory on his podcast for ages 😂😂😂

[@Jackielikeskillersmiles]

Oh well 😂

[@TaroZak]

🐐

[@nickay2549]

I would love to ask someone like Rory is their a moment in his career when he was coming up that was the main step taken in becoming global. There are so many guys who have tried and for whatever reason have failed. I love to know what he puts his success down to. A moment, a putt, a run of tournament success etc. I have struggled with injuries my entire life and never got to give it a go. Id be so curious in his thoughts

[@rhythmicdisciple7045]

Interesting discussion at 35:00. I'm just a decent amateur golfer, and I can honestly say my score on a Saturday morning affects my whole week!!!!! Anyone else feel the same???

[@morganbaker5608]

Go play more

[@pnc23]

Can someone PLEASE tell me-who is hosting this?

[@icanflypod]

The hosts are Morgan Hoffmann and Jeg Coughlin III

[@pnc23]

@@icanflypod thank you!

This needs to have a million views.

Didn't hear the first 20 mins......just gawping at The Grove hat.

[@turnittoglue]

Who are the presenters?

[@royferguson2297]

I would rather be in Holywood than out there.

[@turnittoglue]

Strange to see ROry not wearing Nike

[@morganbaker5608]

I’m now convinced that Wyndham Clark is micro dosing

[@royferguson2297]

Should have asked him why he got rid of the caddy who helped him win Majors to have his best mate on the bag and won none.

[@alexsimonini5354]

Time is up.

[@mrtibbz10]

Only 4? 😂 bum underachiever treated as a goat its crazy.

[@adamsabene1466]

That interview was a bit disappointing. While I think it’s interesting to understand more about Rory the person, the reason a vast majority of fans are interested in him is because of his golf talents. I believe more golf talk, competition, rivals, goals, shortcomings, etc. would have been far more entertaining than hearing about his personal beliefs. I played the video because I enjoy Rory’s game. Something to consider for future videos. Still a job well done 👌🏻

[@Jackielikeskillersmiles]

Loved hearing more than just golf. Disagree

[@ramsden35]

Hmmm such an expert on interviews, where’s your channel?

[@ghitsta]

@@ramsden35 mate, he’s pretty respectfully sharing his opinion which includes constructive criticism (from his point of view). Whilst you’re free to disagree with him, there’s no need to attack with a snarky pointed comment. What have you achieved by doing this? Made yourself feel better?

[@tommyo5916]

Completely disagree

[@azieldaly2965]

​@@Jackielikeskillersmiles Nah people are hear for golf talk.
