SMCO alumnus Tadhg Branagan joins Dan for this episode where they chat about his time so far working in New York as a Games Development Officer for Rockland GAA. Tadhg gives an overview of his time as a student in ITB/TU Dublin Blanchardstown and his involvement in sport on campus before telling us how he ended up as a GDO over 5,000km away from home after graduating in November 2019. He gives an insight into the sporting culture in America, how he's trying to put his own spin on it and how he's had to adapt in order to progress. Tadhg also explains how what he learned as part of the SMCO course has been integral to his success in Rockland and recalls the time he was gifted a signed pair of Stephen Cluxton's gloves by a Kerry man! Networking and continuous learning/development is something Tadhg speaks passionately about and outlines how important it has been for him on his journey so far. He offers some advice and resources (linked below) to current students on how to take advantage of these things to help become the best version of yourself.
