episode 127: Why I Turned Down a Head S&C Role in Inter-County GAA - Petey Performance Podcast #127
It's all about choices and timing.
Here's a tale that takes you through the obstacle-laden road of decision-making that came my way when I was offered a Head S&C role in an Inter-county setup.
The role was a perfect fit, yet the timing couldn't have been more off.
Find out how I managed to steer clear of burnout and stress by choosing to not take up this opportunity.
A six-day coaching routine had already been taking its toll on me, and the prospect of taking up the Inter-county role felt like it would mean sacrificing precious moments with family and friends, and my love for sport.
I hope my story inspires you to make decisions that work best for you and not just align with what's expected.
As I explore alternatives, like applying for a working holiday visa in Australia, I encourage you to listen in and remember - it's your life, your decisions.
Tune in now for an insightful solo episode on the Petey Performance Podcast.
