Just two years before winning the Joe McDonagh Cup final, Antrim Hurler Domhnall Nugent had been on the streets battling an addiction to alcohol.
 

Domhnall was just 20 years old and living out of a rucksack, having spent every penny he had on the addiction that had brought him to rock bottom, where he was left to feel that his life was no longer worth living. After realising the devastation that his addiction was causing to his loved ones, Domhnall decided to turn his life around and checked himself into a rehab facility.

Now, living with his grandparents and continuing on the road to recovery, the Antrim Hurler is focusing once again on his athletic career.

Domhnall will join us to deliver an inspiring talk and Q&A in which he'll discuss his own personal experiences, the link between physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing, and the steps he took that helped him to overcome his demons.
