About this ebook
Richie Hogan stands among the legends of hurling, a seven-time All- Ireland senior medallist and a recipient of multiple individual awards. With Kilkenny hurling in his blood, Richie didn't just dream of greatness – he relentlessly pursued it. Every day, he strategised on how to reach the pinnacle of the sport he cherished and, once there, how to remain at the top. Richie's illustrious career brought him moments of profound triumph and heart-wrenching defeat. But his success was no accident; it was the result of unwavering focus. Every decision – from his education to his career and lifestyle – was shaped by his dedication to hurling. In this candid account, Richie unveils the story of his extraordinary journey. He shares his obsession with upholding the highest standards in the Kilkenny team under the legendary Brian Cody, the defining moments on the field, and the challenges and injuries that almost derailed his path. This is an unflinching look inside one of the greatest hurling teams ever assembled, as told by one of its most iconic leaders.
