It’s the one #GAA jersey no-one can buy: it has to be earned. That’s part of the ethos & culture of our team. Charlie Smyth played his last competitive Gaelic football match in this jersey. Now the #Ranch is coming Stateside New Orleans Saints #Ranch Spirit
#TheRanchWay #integrity #values 🇱🇻

As much as improving his kicking Charlie Smyth has been thorough about his #mental preparation. Now he’s beginning to get reward for all his own efforts, on & off the field. As we like to say around SMUCB Sport : “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” #RanchSpirit 🇱🇻🇮🇪🏉

Congratulations to Charlie Smyth from everyone at St Mary’s on the news that he has signed for #NFL side New Orleans Saints.
An amazing opportunity 🏈 ⁦New Orleans Saints⁩

Simple and superb. Long before GPS, ‘athlete tracker’ phone apps & ornate journals, Self-reflection is a skill of excellent players & performers. I’d love to have had a chance to speak with him about this. But Cormac’s example & approach is one I’ve referred to many times #laoch
