How Extreme Panic Attacks And Anxiety Impacted A Sportswriter’s Career

1 May - 20 mins
Podcast Series The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Sunday and Irish Independent sports columnist Eamonn Sweeney has released his latest book “The Last Ditch: How One GAA Championship Gave A Sportswriter Back His Life”.

It details how, in 2000, Eamonn developed a crippling phobia of travelling, which led to extreme panic attacks and resulted him living a solitary life in West Cork.

However, he was given the opportunity to write about the 2024 GAA championship and knew that if he were to take on the project, he would have to overcome his fears once and for all.

Eamonn joined Matt in studio to talk about his experience and his road to recovery.
