HIGH achiever Seanie Powter has offered an insight into what drives him to excel.

The Cork football star was conferred Tuesday with a medical degree from the University of Limerick and admitted: “My motivation comes from the fear of not reaching my potential. I don’t ever want to wake up and think I have reached only 70/80% of what I could have been. That’s why when I commit to something it’s always 100%.”
