Aimee Mackin. Being the best, trying to win an All-Ireland, life in Australia, famous family, amalgamation & driving Armagh

Aimee is perhaps the greatest Gaelic footballer of her generation. There are a couple in that top bracket, but the Armagh forward has already picked up Player of the year and despite her young age, has represented the Armagh senior team for nine years. Her debut came in 2015 In this wide ranging podcast, we examine the amalgamation piece around the GAA/ LGFA and Camogie Association, her one piece of advice to those decision makers and her hopes that the hierarchy of all three organisations can follow the example of our clubs. Aimee comes from arguably the most talented Gaelic football family in Ireland at present. Her sister Blaithin plays for Armagh and her brothers Ciaran and Connaire line-out for the Armagh mens team. Aimee and Balithin also play Australian Rules with Melbourne Fooball Club, representing the Demons in the AFLW. Aimee has also played international soccer at all levels. Despite the obvious talents, Aimee struggled to acknowledge her greatness. Humble. The Camlough athlete examines the notion of placing a life on hold for sport, winning an All-Ireland with Armagh, media awareness and caution. Mackin also remembers the days when Armagh didn’t have a pitch to train on. It’s not like that now. Cruciate recovery into one of the greatest Gaelic footballers of her generation.
