Leave the kids alone — it’s their journey, not yours

When I was starting my journey in sport, I had the good fortune to be personally guided by an All-Ireland winner, something very few people get to say.

As a result, the odds were stacked in my favour to make a half-decent fist of it from the start, if that was going to be my life tipple of choice. And it so happened that, from very early on, I couldn’t quench my thirst for all things sport.
