School Daze with Cork GAA All Star Amy O'Connor: 'Sport helps mental health'

I was always a good child — sports-mad and I loved school. I was good at sport and subjects like Biology, Chemistry and Business but was absolutely dreadful at singing and anything that involved music.

I have really good memories of going to the Cork City Sports in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in primary school and practising in the weeks leading up to that every year. My most vivid memory of my first day in secondary school is getting the top locker which was a bit of a disaster for me as I was so small at the time.
