Freestyle footballer Dennehy pledges to handle pressure and conquer world

He’s got silks and tekkers. His locker holds all the tricks. Standing 6’2", he’s the owner of your classic good-feet-for-a-big-man.

But Ireland’s world-class freestyle footballer names heroes from Bryan Sheehan to Michael Jordan to the Munster rugby team and says he was a better Gaelic footballer than soccer player.

He’s a meditator who eats gluten-free, organic, non-GMO. He’s an athlete, gymnast and footballer in one. He’s turned pro at his emerging sport, ranking second in the world two years ago.
