Mind On The Game - The Return Of William Costello

In this episode of Mind On The Game, returning guest William Costello comes back onto the podcast to talk about his love affair with Gaelic Football. The Irish sport is a combination of rugby, football, handball and a bit of hockey as well and is a complete outlier in its uniqueness. The only sport that comes close to being as unique is Aussie Rules Football. In this shorter MOTG episode we discuss Will’s special relationship with the sport, how its given him joy and distraction, a nostalgic link to his home when playing it in the UK, its rich history and how it can provide a coping mechanism for many people struggling with addiction, especially alcohol.
