Barry O'Hagan- Down star player- surgery, Conor Laverty, recovery, family and making a difference
Barry O’Hagan is a week out of career threatening surgery. A Triple reconstruction of knee ligaments, a procedure that was dramatically changed 30 minutes before operation. The Hilltown man is the marquee Down forward- until a Saturday night against Antrim in February!
In this podcast we examine and dig into living with injury, processing it and beginning the long road to recovery. It’s a fascinating insight into the trauma of missing out. Football really is life.
Barry is from Clonduff, rival parish of Kilcoo. So how did he feel when Conor Laverty became manager? His response is brutally honest!
What O’Hagan does provide is an insight into a new manager- how he’s galvanised a young squad and move them in the right direction. It’s absorbing and a rare insight.
Oisin predicts his Ulster final and we also dig into the role of Jim McGuinness with Down. Interesting….
Barry is married with two young children. We look at the challenges of family life with sporting performance. It's becoming uncommon in a modern inter-county changing room.
Plenty of laughs, insights and a brutually honest assessment of life as an intercounty GAA player. Barry O'Hagan on the GAA Social
