“Once we realised that Ross was serious about pursuing College Football in the USA, we decided to support him in whatever way we could. We listened to what his needs were, and we were delighted to engage with Leader Kicking. Their formal practice sessions, mentorship and academic guidance have proved invaluable and opened up life-changing opportunities we never thought possible. We can‘t thank Tadhg enough for his dedication and for making dreams come true”
– Vera Bolger, Mother of Ross Bolger currently on a Division 1 scholarship in Idaho
“Experiencing the American Dream while playing sports—that’s how I would describe my journey with Leader Kicking. Tadhg promised me that if I put in the work, he would take care of the rest. True to his word, I got the opportunity to play Division 1 football in the US. It was an experience I will never forget. My only regret is not starting sooner.”
– Ronan Patterson, Division 1 football scholarship recipient and recent masters graduate
