How Conor Meyler overcame the bumps on the road

Perhaps it will be Stephen O’Brien that he follows around Croke Park come Sunday. Or maybe Sean O’Shea if he’s not playing as an inside forward. But whatever task Tyrone’s Conor Meyler is handed this weekend, he will not lack for resilience.

Over the summer, he tours the Cúl Camps around the county, inspiring the next generation. The theme of resilience is one that he returns to with frequency. As a past student and Sigerson-winning captain of St Mary’s College in Belfast and having completed a Masters in Education in DCU, he’s perfectly placed to deliver the lesson.
