That’s how winning is done

Itâs a very mean and nasty place and I donât care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ainât about how hard you hit. Itâs about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward. Thatâs how winning is done!â -
The way Seamus Hennessy looks at it, every inter-county player is just passing through; you only have that shirt or that spot in the dressing room for so long. It might be for just one game and youâre not asked back. It might be one year, three years, five, or in the freakish case of a Tony Browne or a Brendan Cummins, bordering on 20. But even they move on. You might always be a supporter but youâre only for so long ever a county player.
