Ger Brennan begins new chapter after glory days with Dublin

Brennan talks about readjusting to life after inter-county football.

"I’m now feeling that my sense of identity has been altered. I feel like I’m entering a new phase in my life, that I’m going somewhere where I’ve never been before. It feels strange, especially now that the weather is beginning to heat up and the championship is getting going. There is a disharmony between the reality of the present and the reality of my past. And it’s as if my subconscious is asking me: why are you not getting ready for championship?"

Ger Brennan — All-Ireland winning captain — played for the Dublin senior football team from 2006 until he left the panel after last year’s All-Ireland quarter-final victory over Fermanagh.
