Episode Description
The latest episode of The Players Voice features Kildare hurler James Burke.
During this chat, the 2022 Christy Ring Player of the Year opens up about how bacterial meningitis once turned his whole world upside down. Contracting the rare but deadly infection was a life threatening experience, and James shares some of the unexpected lessons and perspective he was forced to learn as a young man.
We also talk about his journey from hotshot rookie to team captain in a few short years, transitioning from student life to full-time employment while juggling an inter-county career and how much he has benefitted from engaging with the Gaelic Players Association.
The Players’ Voice is brought to you by the Gaelic Players Association in collaboration with Real Talks. The podcast series is part of BEO 360, a GPA programme that empowers inter-county players across 4 key areas - life skills, wellbeing, dual career and transitions.
