Manage episode 378579631 series 2986368
On episode 124 I am delighted to be joined by Irish sporting all time great Cora Staunton.
Cora made her senior at 13 and went on to win 4x All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championships, in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 11 All-Star awards, making her one of the most decorated players in the history of ladies football.
Beyond the silverware, Staunton's impact on Mayo football can be measured by her consistency and longevity. From her debut in 1995 to 2018 when she left the panel Cora accumulated a whopping 59 goals and 476 points. Along with 6 All Ireland Club titles with Cornacon. Her commitment to the Mayo jersey and her passion for the game, has solidified her status as one of the greatest players to ever represent the county male or female.
A trailblazer, Staunton signed with the Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Giants in the AFL Women's league in 2017 becoming the first Ladies footballer to make the move down under.
In 2019, she faced a significant setback, suffering a horrific leg injury in her late 30s. Demonstrating her characteristic resilience, Cora made a remarkable recovery, returning to the field with the same vigor and passion as she had before. She finished her career with 50 appearances and 55 goals, which made her the all-time leading goalscorer for the giants, and joint all-time scorer in the league overall.
We discuss her career, consistency and longevity, the recovery from her fracture in 2019, the future of Irish players in Australia, the leadership team in AFL Organisations, becoming a performance coach with Galway Senior Camogie and more!
