#187 Richie Donnelly // Injury & Entrepreneurship

On episode 187 I am delighted to be joined by Richie Donnelly, 2021 All-Ireland winner with Tyrone and entrepreneur. Richie suffered a serious knee injury and at the time of the chat was in the middle of intense rehab. He is currently in the throws of a club championship with his club Trillick in one of if not the toughest competitions in the country. In 2021 he set up Natur & co, a social wellness club in Tyrone and has now moved his focus to the medical industry. We discuss his move from a traditional 9-5 role to owning a business. We also discuss the value of inter-county players in an age of social media and his work with defined talent management. This is a very honest insight into how players can get caught up in the bubble of life as inter-county player, and how he now reflects on that aspect of elite sport.
