Folks, just putting this up for anyone interested. We launched the series last week so trying to get the word out. Hope you enjoy it. To sum it up in one line, it is all about showing that GAA players are far more than just footballers and hurlers.

TIPPERARY'S BRENDAN MAHER had the honour of lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup last September as team captain.

But in a fascinating interview with former Cavan senior football goalkeeper Alan O'Mara, 28-year-old Maher has insisted that handing over the role to Pádraic Maher was the right move. In the wide-ranging piece, which you can listen to below, Maher also talks about how working with autistic children challenged his outlook on life.

Hey folks,

We recently started up a new GAA podcast that is all about showing that GAA players are more than just footballers and hurlers.

First episode is with Dublin's four-time All-Ireland winner Kevin McManamon and over the course of an hour conversation he spoke about overcoming the performance anxiety that held him back in earlier years and how his study of sports psychology has made him both a better player and person. He also chats about how his love for music is instrumental in ensuring he maintains a balanced lifestyle and the importance of resilience, particularly when it comes to educating people on mental health.
