After Junior Cert subject choice was kept broad - at this point I was gearing towards physiotherapy/engineering so i did my best with subject choices to keep my options open as much as possible. Physics & Chemistry came in useful in First year College having had a good grounding in these areas from secondary school. Having not done biology prior to first semester in college, i found this quite challenging and things moved at quite a fast pace but those who had done biology previously were a good help in bringing everyone along with them, and we returned the favour when it came to physics/chemistry.

My first job was in general medical wards at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, it was great to get straight into the workforce after graduating and I picked up a lot of medical / cardioresp / neuro experience here which continue to stand to me to this day in recognising non-MSK issues that present in clinic.

The first major milestone for me was leaving this job and starting an job on the Orthopaedic Ward in Sports Surgery Clinic. This gave me a great grounding in elective surgery. From there I progressed internally within SSC to general MSK outpatients and from there focusing and specialising more in the area of hip & groin injury management and ACL rehabilitation. While in this role I had an opportunity to work with Meath Minor Footballers in a team physiotherapist capacity which two years later opened doors to become involved with the Senior County team.

During my time with the Seniors I moved to a private practice on the South side where I worked for the best part of a year, but the commute almost daily due to my commitments with Meath became too much and I moved back to Navan to establish McEntee Performance Physio, a physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre based in Club Active Gym, a warehouse-type gym with the latest training equipment. It's a little over four years since we opened our doors and now have a staff of 4 physiotherapists working at this site
