Winning or losing All-Ireland as a player.
There's plenty that happened over the years, but I think you needed it.
I don't necessarily think I needed it, to be honest with you.
Andy actually shared an unbelievable quote with us.
I'm not going to do it justice, but the gist of it was, winning is fun, sure, but not wanting to let people down is the point.
Wanting to better yourself is the point.
that's kind of the gist of the quote and that's genuinely the way I kind of approach these things when you've kind of been involved with Mayo over the last few years if winning was the be all and end all I would have stopped playing a long time ago so it's an incredible feeling but it's not the be all and end all and
That's going to drive me for the next couple of years, hopefully, if it keeps me on, of course.
But that's literally it.
I just want to keep playing and keep enjoying it.
He's sitting across from us here doing another interview.
We heard from him earlier.
And his book that he'd written back a couple of years ago when he retired was called Lessons Learned.
And it was nearly like a dedication to the players and the people that had guided him along the way and all the close calls that Mayo had had over those years.
He learned a lot of lessons.
Andy, the player that you would have known or been in and around, what was the difference this year when he came back in?
To be honest, it was quite strange at the start.
I actually made my debut kind of season male when he was coming towards the end and we had a brilliant relationship.
But it was different in terms of he's the boss now and he's been absolutely unbelievable.
We've obviously spoken an awful lot over the last while, obviously myself coming back from injury.
