six older brothers and a sister as well so Gaelic football was always within touching distance and then yeah being the youngest I just followed my brothers everywhere when they were playing for the county up and down the length and breadth of every GA pitch in every corner of Ireland so just ingrained in me from a very young age and obviously loved the game loved the sport and

lucky enough to have two brothers who played at the highest level as well and watched them lift Sam Maguire, which just was phenomenal at times, really great memories.

Definitely.

I think I had a massive impact in my sporting career.

I think, yeah, being a dual athlete or multi athlete gives you benefits of different sports.

For example, like playing Gaelic, I was probably used to.

bit more of like the physical contact, the rough and tumble.

And I think I brought that into into soccer as well.

And that helped me in that aspect.

And then also basketball.

I played that when I was younger and just the spatial awareness and development of different motor skills.

I think that can all impact you in a positive way, really.

So I probably encourage us to play as many sports as possible when you're younger as well and try not to just focus on one if you can, because I think it is a massive help.

Yeah, I got a chance in the summer to go back with Clannan and play with the girls.

So we were playing a bit of junior and the girls won the Junior D League as well.

So I wasn't there for the final and missed the celebrations, but I got to play with the club again and that was great to come home.

And then also, I suppose taking my new role now, it's a bit more difficult to get home.
