Four Time All Ireland Winner
Fearghal worked with me as I recovered from surgery, in a race to get fit in time for the Copa América. His expertise was crucial in helping me return fit, strong, and on time, and I was able to play my part as my country went on to win the tournament!”
Enzo Fernandez

Fearghal has helped me recover from some tough injuries over the years, including a dislocated ankle and Achilles surgery. He understood my need to come back quickly for the next big games but, at the same time, never compromised on ensuring my long-term health and performance.”
Aisling Maher

Multiple Time All Star Camogie Player
Fearghal had a huge influence on my rugby career, helping me overcome injuries that kept me out for months each season. His guidance got me into the best shape of my life, and I often returned to play ahead of schedule. After two major injuries—a groin rupture and an ACL injury—I came back stronger and earlier than expected, thanks to his expertise and support.”
