General Interest

General
US STINT
In 2015 he moved to the United States of America to attend Florida State University on a sports scholarship. He returned to Ireland in mid-2016 after the move did not work out. "It was a good programme and [Bob] Braman is a good coach, but it probably wasn't the place for me. When you're over there and all your friends are through athletics, it can be a lonely time. It got to a place where I was running for somebody else. It became more like a job and the internal motivation went away. I wouldn't change anything. Reflecting back, I did what I did. I learned from it and I'm a better athlete the other side of it." (independent.ie, 17 Feb 2020; the42.ie, 02 Jul 2020)

BREAK AND RETURN
After returning to Ireland from the United States of America in 2016, he spent time away from the sport. He qualified as a personal trainer and worked at a McDonald's restaurant before returning to training in late 2016. (independent.ie, 17 Feb 2020)

EDUCATION
He has studied for a bachelor's degree in education and training from Dublin City University in Ireland. (dcu.ie, 15 Jul 2021)
