Navigating New York with Aisling Daly

On this week's Episode I chat to Aisling Daly, a County Offaly woman who has been living in New York for 8 years. This episode touches on two big areas of interest for many of my lovely podcast listeners: women working in the Construction Industry & ladies Gaelic Football & Camogie in NYC.

 Aisling and I discuss how she Navigated her career path in New York and the great opportunities there are here for women working in Construction. Aisling explains the importance of being open minded and determined when starting out in the construction world and the variety of roles that are out there!

 We also talk about Aisling's passion for Gaelic games and Camogie and the trojan work she has put in over the years to develop Camogie in NY. Aisling coaches St Brigid's junior football team and has been heavily involved with the New York development squads– coaching young girls from under 7 right up to  youth development teams that have travelled around the US playing Camogie. 

Aisling has been growing the game from grass roots level right up to forming her own club, Annie Moore's in 2018. Annie Moore's is team of mostly American born players and ladies who have never played the sport before. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago, Annie Moore's made history and  won the New York League against an impressive Liberty Gaels side – another strong club formed in NY in 2015. After their historic NY League win, this novel team went on to win their first ever North American Intermediate title in Boston last Sunday.

Aisling is a woman who likes to keep fit and healthy, however in 2018 she was hit with a rare illness that left her having to slow down on all fronts. After feeling very unwell, spending time in hospital and receiving surgery, Aisling learned that she had a spontaneous CSF leak in her spine. Her ability to work, coach and train like she had been was completely changed and her condition still effects her now, 3 years later. We reflect on the importance of self care, having good people around you, and taking life (and the GAA!) with a pinch of salt. I hope you enjoy!
