High-flying Carroll living the dream

Dublin teenager John Carroll is used to standing out from the crowd. At 6’8”, he may well be the tallest 18-year-old in the country, not that he spends much time here.

“Walking down Grafton Street, I’d usually be the tallest person on the street,” says Carroll.

“My roommates in IMG, one was 6’10’’, another was 7ft and the other was 6’6’ so I never felt big while I was there. I was sixth tallest on my team.”
