IRISH rugby union player Zac Ward has back-to-back press interviews on the day we speak.

The 25-year-old could talk about representing Ireland at the Paris Olympics this summer and joining Ulster shortly after, on a trial basis. But his focus is the launch of the new season of the Tackle Your Feelings programme (www.tackleyourfeelings.com), encouraging schools nationwide to sign up to help students build resilience, emotional intelligence, and positive mental health.
