S.6 Ep.2 - Bouncing Back: Stories of Sports Resilience

In this episode of PBC Podcast, host Seán Neary dives into the tough but important topic of sports injuries in teenagers—and how young athletes can cope both physically and mentally. Joining Seán is Ger Burke, Senior rugby coach in Pres, who shares his insights on injuries, supporting players, and the mindset needed for recovery. We also hear compelling first-hand experiences from two Pres students who know the road to recovery all too well: Leaving Cert student Michael Browne reflects on his journey through a serious ACL injury, discussing the challenges, setbacks, and the determination needed to return stronger while Jack McCarthy, a TY student and keen soccer player, talks about his own ACL experience and what helped him stay positive in difficult moments. Together, they explore resilience, rehab, and the importance of mental strength when injuries strike. Tune in for an honest, motivating conversation. Hosted on Acast.
