What does two years in the AFL system actually teach you that you
can bring back to inter-county football?

Why is a call-out culture one of the hardest things a squad can
build, and why does it matter so much?

And what was it really like sitting in a room with Novak Djokovic
listening to him talk about discipline?

Sligo footballer Luke Towey joins the podcast this week to break
it all down.

Luke spent two years with the Gold Coast Suns in the AFL before
returning to inter-county football with Sligo, and has since
built his own Performance Journal business used by loads of GAA
players and teams.

In this episode, we also cover:

Reflecting honestly on a disappointing season with Sligo
