Peak performance crucial, says Dublin star Nolan

ALLIANZ FL DIVISION 1 SEMI-FINAL:

Diagnosed with an under-active thyroid after feeling unwell in 2010, Nolan, who has recently reclaimed his place in an increasingly competitive Dublin half-back line, found out three days after the 2011 All-Ireland final that he was a coeliac.

“The doctors had known the week before but they did not want to mess with my head, so they didn’t tell me until the week after,” he said.
