Cathal Nolan had to reassess his sporting outlook after a diagnosis in 2017.
A former Olympic hopeful from Offaly says a scoliosis diagnosis forced him to reassess his life goals.
Rhode's Cathal Nolan was training for cross-country skiing in the French Alps when he started to get extreme pain in his legs and hips in 2017.
It turned out a curve in his spine and some dietary intolerances had gone undetected, that combined with the physical stress his body was going through while training was exasperating the symptoms.
The owner of Ireland's Weather Channel says it was difficult to come to terms with the fact he couldn't play as much sport:
