Kate Keaney

This week our host Alan O’Mara is joined by Kate Keaney, who was called up to the Donegal seniors at 15 years of age after experiencing All-Ireland minor success and then became a key leader in successful senior teams. In 2022, a new adventure across the Atlantic awaits, where Kate will be working as a sports scientist with the USA’s international soccer teams. We discuss her excitement for this incredible opportunity and how much she has already enjoyed supporting elite teams around the world. Kate also shares how struggles with concussion significantly impacted her day to day life and how participating in the GPA’s Madden Leadership Programme had a transformational impact on her personal journey. This podcast is brought to you as part of BEO 360, a GPA programme that empowers inter-county players across 4 key areas - life skills, wellbeing, dual career and transitions.
