This we are joined by Waterford full back and fellow club man Conor Prunty.
Conor has been playing intercounty hurling for 8 years now and in this time as an intercounty hurler Conor has so far captained Waterford to a National Hurling League title in 22, been named an all star full back in 21 and captained Waterford to an All Ireland final in 20.
As a youngster he played in the Waterford u21 team which won Munster and the All Ireland in 16.
In this episode we talk about Conor's experience of intercounty hurling so far, the learnings he's had from it, managing injuries and the mindset aspect to playing hurling at the highest level.
We don't forget to have a bit of a laugh along the way either!
My mic isn't working for this one, so thankfully no one is hear to listen to me!
Hope you enjoy and let me know your thoughts!
