When I was about seven years old, I recall watching a talk show with my grandmother and seeing a man with large muscles, who, in my eyes, looked like a superhero. I recall being engrossed in every word that came out of his mouth and listening to how he used to do hundreds of push-ups in his small bedroom in Austria when he was nine or ten.

I remember running to my room to do as many push-ups as I could – which turned out to be maybe one or possibly two. But I went to bed that night dreaming that someday, I would be big, strong, and muscular like the man on TV. That man went on to become one of the top-grossing movie stars of all time and the Governor of California. His name is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I was born into a massive sporting family and grew up on a small farm in Connemara in the West of Ireland. I wasn’t very scholarly at school: from the age of six to 17 or 18, my entire life revolved around playing sports, especially Gaelic Football, Ireland’s national sport, which was my personal favourite.
My closest friends like to joke with me that I’m the living embodiment of If it isn’t a priority, it doesn’t get done,’ and there’s a lot of truth to this. From an academic standpoint, I just about got through school, but from a sports standpoint, I made it into every team I tried out for, spending hours every evening practising skills and drills to improve my performance.

To master my football techniques, I would learn to kick equally well with both feet, hang car tyres in front of my home-made goals, and try to kick the ball through them. I wouldn’t enter the house until I passed the ball through the tyre 10 times in a row. I did everything to improve my game. My schoolbag was a glorified doorstopper for most of my teens.
School was never really a focus for me, so I never excelled until my early twenties. I regularly had teachers tell me I was going to be on welfare for life unless I turned professional in one of the sports I played. I remember one time when I was picked up by the ear and kicked out of the class for mapping out my workout routine during the time allotted to some other task.

I recall walking down the long narrow corridor to the principal’s office with my heart in my mouth. I’ll never forget the conversation we had that day. My principal, also named Brian, sat me down and told me that although I obviously should be doing the allocated tasks and not calculating my 10 rep max during class, I was going to be fine in life.
He had seen my work ethic and dedication to football and talked about my ability to lead others on the pitch. He said that I had the personality to do big things with my life and never to let other teachers’ opinions of me change who I am at the core. I don’t remember much of the conversation, but I can never forget the feeling I had when I left that office.
