To explain himself, Shane O'Sullivan tells two stories. When he was 14 the manager of the school team in De La Sale arranged an audience with Liam Griffin. From an All-Ireland winning coach the players expected to hear solutions for their day-to-day hurling problems, and maybe a few yarns, as a sauce on the side: instead Griffin gave them a life lesson about the power of the mind.About how Niamh Fitzpatrick, the Wexford team psychologist, would sit with Billy Byrne for half an hour, just visualising scenarios, even though Byrne was in his mid-30s by then, and maybe thought he had seen these movies before.
