The Kieran Shannon interview: Jason Sherlock on becoming the mentor he once needed

Sporting fame allowed him to belong. But despite enjoying a varied career full of celebrity and success, Jason Sherlock retired feeling a failure. A deep thinker, his views on Gaelic football left him frustrated by his and Dublin’s underachievement. But now, as Jim Gavin’s coach, everything has come together and finally makes sense

“Jason is a deep thinker and a student of the game. He’s a problem-solver and has a great eye for detail. He thinks outside the box and is very articulate in getting his coaching point across to the players… Jason’s contribution to the performance of the Dublin senior football team has been immense.”
