Peter O'Mahony, welcome.
How did Peter O’Mahony adjust to retirement after his Munster and Ireland career?
Thank you. Great to have you in. All in. Peter's new book out now. I'm sure a lot of people listening have copies and are and are hearing through it. Uh a really good read. Uh Peter will also be in O'Mahony's bookshop on uh Saturday, October tenth at two PM in Limerick signing copies. Um we might start with the end. Uh oh, it's funny for me to look back and think it's been May twenty twenty five when you played your last game for Munster. Like that seems a good while away now. Like I don't know how you found the transition because in the book you do kind of express a little bit of nervousness maybe about post rugby life. Just wondering how you found it.
Yeah, no, I've I've enjoyed it. Um I I was very lucky with the career I had and you know, a r a a relatively success successful one, particularly about Ireland and I'd I had a long career, you know, a lot of people that you know, start rubbing Ireland and get a contract. Don't actually um Don't end up playing as long as I do, uh or did. And that was, you know, I suppose given the circumstances, those factors give you a bit of I suppose comfort in finishing up. And and again I got to walk away from it. You know, I got to play my last year, I got played my last game in Thomond Park and the Aviva and Musgrave Park. Um, you know, I got to do all these lasts, so you You know, when the last one came it was I was kinda looking forward to it.
Do you find yourself feeling young? You know, when you're in a professional environment and you're coming towards the end of career, you're probably looking around twenty something year old players and feeling, God, am I I'm I'm such an old man here. And then you go back into regular life and everyone you're interacting with are probably you're the same age as them. You're actually a silly young man. Is that kind of a funny kind of adjustment as well to make? You have to remember I'm actually not old at all. It's just the way professional rugby body makes you feel.
It's an interesting way to look at it, yeah. Um, because I was feeling old by the time I finished. And between stopping playing and obviously feeling a lot better physically as a result of not, you know, getting up in the mornings after training or games and stuff, you know, you you've you've you're back to kind of feeling relatively fresh after a few weeks and it is a nice feeling not having to, you know, figure out if I roll this way, am I gonna hurt myself or do I have to go that way out of the bed or what foot has to go home first? Um, you know. But that that that was getting tiring and As you said, yeah, the the people expect when they ask me my age now.
