AUSTIN GLEESON TEASER: 'At the end of the day, I only have myself to blame' | Retiring from intercounty hurling with Waterford

Austin Gleeson joined Eoin Sheahan for a chat on Waterford hurling, his decision to step away from inter-county, and why this time it’s “fully done”.

Gleeson opens up on the moment he knew his body wasn’t keeping pace with his head, the injuries that piled up, and the regrets he has about not taking recovery and conditioning seriously enough in his 20s.

He also reflects on the spotlight that came with 2016, dealing with comments about his weight, and the reality of being an amateur player who still has to get up and go to work on Monday.
