Kerry experience inspired Gavin Crowley's tech business venture

While part of Kerry's underage development panels, Gavin Crowley watched talented players drop out of football. Years later, he realised the reason and last week launched YouMon, an app which can help prevent overloading in youth athletes.

As he progressed through the underage levels with Kerry, Gavin Crowley would often wonder why some standout players from the younger grades were no longer involved.

The Templenoe man joined Kerry’s underage development squads at U14, and progressed all the way to senior level, starting the drawn 2019 All-Ireland final and replay, and being part of the Sam Maguire winning panel of 2022.
