Show Notes
Welcome to the latest episode of The Players Voice - where this week we are joined by New York goalkeeper and former Down player, Mick Cunningham.
One of the heroes that helped the exiles to their first ever win in the Connacht GAA championship earlier this year, Mick tells us why he moved to New York in the first place and how it has helped him to evolve as a person and a player.
Away from the GAA, he is the Co-Founder and Chief Technical Officer at Zelta AI. During this conversation, Mick talks about community, mindset, dealing with mistakes, work/life balance and what he has learned from taking the road less travelled.
