Former rugby player Tommy Bowe discusses his transition to television hosting on Ireland AM, sharing his thoughts on the 'adrenaline rush' he experiences and how it differs from the thrill of playing rugby. He also reflects on the 'second chapter' of his career and his dreams achieved in his late 20s and early 30s.
He explained that it’s not the same buzz he got from playing rugby, but he still loves doing it.
“You have to try and find something else to do. I'm very lucky. I moved into live television with Ireland AM. It's not quite rolling out on the Aviva anymore. “From a rugby perspective, I went through some tough times with injury, wondering if your career is over, if you're ever going to be able to get back to the level that you would have been before being dropped.
“Even from my own kids' point of view, I really want them to get involved in sport, particularly team sport, because you learn such amazing values. Tommy shared: “It's hard to know from a young person trying to get into sport or anything. It's a big message I try to tell my kids, to not give up. It's something that it's so easy nowadays to give up.
“When you get that opportunity, you've got to take it. So you work hard, you do your prep, and when you get that chance, you knock it out of the park.”
