We are joined on The Players’ Voice podcast by Conn Kilpatrick, an All-Ireland winning midfielder with Tyrone in 2021, who opens up in great detail about his gambling addiction.

He talks about the web of lies he spun to hide his secret, the ups and downs of recovery, bouncing back from a relapse and repairing damaged relationships with family and friends. This is a powerful listen full of honesty, insight and courage that will help many people and communities.

We also discuss the joy he has experienced from representing and winning with Tyrone and Edendork, climbing the steps of the Hogan Stand to lift the Sam Maguire Cup and living a more authentic, balanced life.
