If you have a spare hour or a long drive this is a great listen, little long winded at times but some very interesting points that for me personally are very close to home.

As a teenager creating a persona that is thought to be the norm - going out on nights out event hough nightclubs are your idea of hell? using substances to blend in despite feeling like s**t each time? Only with age do you realise by not seeking external validation does your internal peace grow, and this is why Ive tried to instil that confidence into my kids from a young age.

However that internal validation is a little harder to manage and I , like Dan in the podcast have used sport and training to manage and mask feelings but rather than seek approval more of a reality chack - if im feeling s**te train harder, run further, spar more rounds basically punish myself for "being ungrateful" . Ive trained through injuries, entered competitions ive no right being in just to prove a point.

navigation of these feelings is the hard part for men and the main point I take from this pod rather than continue with the "head down mentality" we need to teach the difference between knowing our true limits (not quitting just because its hard) and encouraging the confidence to ask for guidance

Quick reflection on yesterday, start with a massive well done and thank you to Fat Monkey and Hindley ARLFC along with every single vender or volunteer that helped out and made the day a roaring success. Outstanding day start to finish!
For us as a group once again we are overwhelmed with the amount of support shown through sponsorship Padraig Confrey , encouragement, support on the sidelines and sheer amount of players wanting to get involved. whether thats old boys dusting the boots off, young lads having a run and fellas who have never played a game in their life kitting up and going hell for leather for 60-70mins! So to each and everyone thank you

wishing a speedy recovery to Ant who unfortunately suffered a bad leg break during the game -didnt knock on though.

to come away winners again and taking the Howard Taylor MOM & Joe Charnock awards with us was just the icing on a very tasty cake

up rhe fat lads and on to the next
