Ready To Be Real by Síle Seoige

Joe Canning : Straight shooter


Listen Later

Topics covered : Hurling career, All Ireland Finals (2017 & 2018), growing up, learning from failure, resilience, criticism, coping with fame, love, loss, proposal story, becoming a Dad.

This week, I’m joined by All-Ireland winning hurler and businessman Joe Canning.

He’s a proud Galway man who now lives in Limerick with his wife Meg and their baby daughter Josie.


In the first part of our conversation, we dive into his hurling career — focusing on the highs and lows of All-Ireland finals, especially those unforgettable matches in 2017 and 2018.

 

Later, we move into more personal territory.

Joe opens up about family — the loss of his much-loved Mam, proposing to Meg, and what fatherhood means to him.

Naturally more introverted as a person, he’s honest about how he sees the world — from having no time for people-pleasing to how he turns criticism into motivation.

 

Joe’s book : ‘Joe Canning: My Story’ is available online and in all good bookshops.

And keep an eye out for his upcoming episode of ‘Unchartered’ with Ray Goggins — airing in the coming weeks time — where he and Olympic athlete Thomas Barr will embark on a gruelling adventure through Colombia.
