Why does Cork lose so many young hurlers and footballers? And what are they doing about it?

Cork senior hurler Stephen McDonnell described his journey from playing for Cork as an U14 player to lifting a Munster senior title as captain.

On Sunday in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, a Youth Health Forum was Cork GAA’s first step in dealing with the pressures and stresses piling up on elite young players.

Run in conjunction with Red FM, more than 250 young hurlers, footballers, camogie players and ladies footballers attended — as well as more than 70 coaches and parents.
