So that removes the financial barrier of that.

And it also means that I'm signposting you to the right area for you specifically to get that support.

Okay.

And then, like, you'd be doing monthly workshops.

You'd be doing on-site visits where you'd be going through different things that are trending at the moment, like burnout or, you know, travel or different, just different topics like that.

And then, like, there's a mental health and well-being space, but I don't like to be just stuck in that space all the time because I find it's, and I'm sure you're aware of this, that, like, it's very draining and very heavy.

So I like to be, like...

yeah i i'm in that space but i'm also in the business development and do other pieces as well right that makes sense yeah absolutely yeah yeah i think when i started out i like i kind of always said jeez i'd love to be a clinical psychologist and then further i got into this journey i was kind of like i don't think i'd like to be doing that five days a week like i think i find it pretty heavy and it's

I just think being able to almost hybrid it and have other bits with it as well, I find works best for me, but that's just why.

Yeah, I think you always have to think about afterwards as well.

When you finish playing, what are you going to do?

There's two things I always say is that I don't want to look back and say that I want to do it differently.

And I want to look back in the hurling and say that I gave it everything I had.

I think if you have those two things and you can say them to yourself and it's true, then I think I'll be in a pretty decent space.

I don't think so.

Yeah, I wouldn't be too concerned about narratives.

I think they're always willing to change, aren't they?

I always think with elite level sport that the margins are so fine.

I just think on any given day, if you show up, you have the work done and it clicks, I think you're never going to be far away.

I think we're in a decent space in Galway.
