This weekend 2 years ago, the day after I finished final year made this page🤩🌟 Where has the time gone?👀⌛️
Over the past two years I have been very fortunate to be given some amazing opportunities and meet some even more amazing people!🤝
Where to start? I guess let’s go back to May 2022, I was fortunate enough to work with the Offaly Senior hurlers as an intern. I must admit, even as a proud Laois woman I will always have a soft spot for Offaly GAA, the people I met, the experience I gained, and the chance I was given to prove myself.
June 2022, I started working in O’Brien clinic after a successful final year placement over April and May, Paddy hasn’t been able to get rid of me since😅
I started working with my first two clubs on my own, Kilruane MacDonaghs who I still work with, and Kinnitty!
Kilruane went on to win the Tipperary Senior hurling final that year, I have no doubt a certain someone looking down, had a huge part to play in that. He is also the reason I have become the therapist I am today and why I strive to try better myself in my field of work and in life everyday.
I soon graduated in November 22, 4 years all summed up by one piece of paper🫡 I will always talk fondly of my time in Carlow and every single person I met along the way!
That November was a busy month, I got the opportunity to work with the Laois Senior hurlers, an opportunity I jumped at. As I said before I am a proud Laois woman🔵⚪️
I have experienced every single type of weather extreme possible while working pitchside😂 Top tip for new grads, buy wet gear and bring it everyday, even if it is 25°C, its Ireland after all.. anything could happen!
July/Aug 2023, the opportunity to work with the Tipperary Senior hurlers came along. I stepped away from Laois, I can now say with certainty that I made the correct decision for me. I have met some of the most amazing people over the last few months working with the lads🤝
I also got the work with the CCR SCT and JCT, a group of the most determined and respectful young men I have ever met🏉 Was nice to dabble in something other than the small ball!
That brings us to now, I am unsure of the next step but time will tell🤪👀
