He tells us about how he has overcome numerous setbacks, including not being selected for the Leinster Academy and how that drove him to prove people wrong.  Also, what was it like being at school when your father was the Headmaster. A real lesson in how not to let people stand in the way of you achieving your dream and doing what you love.
