Kate O’Connor is not just good at one event... she has SEVEN! 800 Metres (indoor and outdoor), Shot Put, Long Jump, High Jump, Hurdles, Javelin! It's tiring just reading the list!

The World Champion and Olympic contender for Team Ireland joins Alison on Weekend Breakfast for a brilliant chat about life as a heptathlete (and yes, how to say it!) — and what it really takes to be good at seven disciplines, not just one.

Kate shares how she fell into multi-events “organically,” thanks a lot to her to her dad's encouragement - he is tell her coach to this day. She opens up about the toughest event to master, the mindset behind constant learning, and the whirlwind of medals, records and media attention!

And perhaps the most important of all -- inspiring the young athletes of Ireland to live their own dream!

Kate chatted to Alison as part of the SPAR and Eurospar Community Fund - helping more kids get into sport by investing in their clubs.      

The Community Fund initiative will see €60,000 awarded to 30 sports clubs across the country. 

Nominees are being asked to submit a short application to showcase how their club is ‘Hungry For Success’.

Entries are now open and will close on Wednesday, July 8th.
