If I'm away from my family,
I could do anything I wanted.

Basically, I could just go downtown
and, like, mess and do bad things.

But, yeah, that's a... that's the
bad side.

Like, away from your parents,
you can do anything.

Em... But then there's a good side.

You get experience for how to live
your life and, eh,

and, like, how the world works.

"Boys in the Better Land"

(splash) Be a man!

? You're not alive until you start
kicking

? When the room is spinning and the
words aren't sticking ?

You might have to get your teeth
replaced! (Charlie laughs)

Imagine that! And new glasses
as well! (both laugh)

Boys don't cry.

? And the radio's all about a
runaway model

? With a face like sin and a heart
like a James Joyce novel ?

(shouting)

(cheering)

? Saying sister, sister,
how I missed ya, missed ya

? Let's go wrist to wrist and take
the skin off of my blister ?

You wanna be soft.

? Well... but the boys in the
better land

? You're always talking about
the boys in the better land.

? The boys in the better land

(shouting and laughing)

? But the boys in the better land

? You're always talking about
the boys in the better land

Jesus!

Man up! Man up!

Yeah!
(cheering)

Yeah!

Yeah!
(shouting and cheering)

Lights! Camera!

Action!

I used to play...

football, I used to play rugby,
I used to do hockey,

I'd say the first few weeks of the
sports, I was enjoying it,

but eventually, like...

if I was trying to sit down, and...

after going to school, or I wanted
to go,

mostly I wanted to go outside with
my friends,

and sports would be on the
time,

it was like "Oh no."
But it kept me much fitter.

And that's... kind of the thing I
have to decide.

Do I want to be much fitter
or do I want to be kind of happier?

With only a few weeks before we
face

the all-Ireland champions of
rounders,

I want to get to know the boys
more.

And in my experience,

I found there's no better way
to do that than with team sports.

I kind of found when I entered team
sports,

I was like, you know, I was sick of
being

lonely, and winning by myself,
training by myself.

And slowly the enjoyment
of that just kind of ran out.

And then when I found team sports,
it was a new enjoyment.

It was like... I could see lads,

I could see my friends on a
Tuesday, Thursday evening,

you know, catch up, being able to
play with them together,

winning together, like, it's
just...

It feels different and it brings
a different kind of joy,

which I feel like the lads should
at least

experience once in their life
to see how enjoyable it is.

? (plays sombre minor key tune)

Like, in Phoenix Park, I had to
run a 2.5K

for, eh, the track field in
school.

And, like, you really want to
give up

at about halfways through, but you
just have to sort of push through,

and it's the same one learning
a very difficult song.

Like, you think "Oh, there's no way
I can do this,

but you have to just sort of keep
on trying until you get it.

But it's also, um, in music,
once you accomplish something,

you can always enjoy it by just
replaying it, whenever you want.

And it's, like, quite hard to,
like, re-make something in sports.

? (plays mellow tune)

Everybody needs to be
somewhat unique, at least.

Like, you'd see...

like, boys my age
going around in, like,

20 in a group, and they'd all look
identical,

same haircuts, same clothes.

And, like, I just don't think It's
healthy for them.

Don't be weak.

I'm Ois�n Sean Anthony Corrigan,

I'm into history and politics,

I have two dogs,

uh...

I... Yeah...

Eh, how else could I describe
myself, you know?

I might not be the biggest, or even
interested in sports that much, but

you know, there's no point in
getting yourself worked up about it.

It, you know...

Worst case scenario, it's horrible.

Best case scenario, it's great.

You make... you meet loads of new
people and you get a lot of money.

And so far, most of them have come
true...

but the money.

Jimmar, all you're going to do is
lob it into me

and I'm just going
to tip it back to ya.

So all we're doing is just making
contact.

You're getting your eye on the
ball. That's all you're doing,

alright? We're going to be in
groups of three.

All it is, is you're going to have
a pitcher, batter, catcher.

You're going to be just making
contact with the ball,

tipping it back to the pitcher.

If the ball goes by you, the
catcher is there to stop it,

alright? And just five of those
each,

and we're going to keep rotating
in the positions, alright? Yeah.

It's one of the four main GAA
sports,

its, eh, football, hurling or
camogie,

handball and rounders, so...

it's a sport that I've seen anyway
in the last couple of years

growing massively.
You can kinda bring

different skills to the game.

So you might be really good at
hitting the ball,

catching, running,
judging the ball in the air.

So it's a little bit
of something for everybody.

Eyes on the prize!

Nice.

One.

Wait, wait, wait!

Right, alright, yeah! (laughs)

(beep)

You know, it's just kinda...

a couple of steps and just
repeating it and repeating it.

And I think it really helped,

and I think we're improving bit by
bit.

And so hopefully tomorrow,
and by tomorrow...

(beep) Hopefully tomorrow...

(beep) (sighs)

Hopefully to... (laughs)

Like, edit the...

You know, like, edit it back.

You know, just like, snip this out.
(beep)

So today's plan was to show the
lads

a bit about the game of rugby.

I just wanted to give them a little
insight of...

kinda... little skills you might
use, eh,

for the game of rounders because a
lot of sports have a lot of

same kind of, eh, instruments that
you'd need to use, so

I brought in my friend and
obviously good teammate,

Bryan Mollen,

em, just to kinda show him and
teach him

some of the basic skills you need
from handling,

and one of the really important
ones was communication,

it was about talking.

My name is Cathal Bennett,
and I'm 14 years old.

I...

I'd love to try all the sports,
really,

I think that's my main kind of goal

for the week, for the... or the
coming weeks, like...

Em... There's nothing really
that I wouldn't be up for.

I'm kinda up for everything at the
moment.

Have you any questions about rugby
before, or...?

Like, what's the difference between
rugby sevens

and, like, normal rugby?

Sevens is a shorter game.

So you only play seven minutes a
half.

So, eh, rugby 15s is 40 minutes
a half,

so obviously a lot longer game.

And then another big difference is

we only have seven people on the
pitch.

And we still play on the same
field as the 15s do, so...

Seven lads on a full-size rugby
pitch.

That means there's more space to
run,

also more tries to be scored,

which kinda... is a little bit more
entertaining.

(Commentator) ...first points of
the game,

and they've gone really deep here
to Bryan Mollen in the pocket.

Mollen just stitches them up in
midfield! (crowd roars)

(whistle blows)

Ireland sweep away to the left,
and here's the opening score...

Bryan Mollen with a run in!
(whistle blows)

Hands on feet, knees, head!

Other person's head!
Shoulders!

Other person's head!

Feet!

Knees, shoulders,
knees, feet, shoulder, knees!

Ball!
(boys grunt, laugh and shout)

Yeah!

Nice bend over! It was a draw!
I won that!

Who won that?
Put a ball in the air.

Alright. Me!

You can throw one dummy or
just throw it straight away.

Now you have to throw it.

Ah! Oof, that ws fast. Go on!
Keep going, keep going!

To the best of my knowledge, and I
know for 100%,

I have severe dyslexia.

And I have dyspraxia,

which I've put so much work into
helping with,

but it still...

holds me back in ways that I
wouldn't even think about.

For example,
when I was small,

I never wanted to play ball sports,

because I just couldn't
get the hand eye coordination.

Challenge yourselves!
One, two, three!

That's it, Jimmar,
running space, hold!

? We are young ?
Support him, support him!

? We run green ?
Get him! One hand!

? Keep our teeth nice and clean ?
Ah, hard luck!

I'm really, really, like, blown
back by these guys.

There was many elements of fun,

but, no, we just decided to
challenge ourselves

with having a little game of,
you know, the Crossbar Challenge,

rugby style, and

and walk up to the camera,
introduce yourself,

on a little funny line.

All right, Charlie, set it up.

Come on, Charlie!

Let's go!

The name's Butterfingers.

Oh, no! (laughter)

Take two. (beep)

The name's Charlie, A.K.A.
Butterfingers.

Go on, Butterfingers!

(groans, laughter)
Get out of here!

Me name's Darragh, and I'm a
pitcher.

Oh! Oh!
Oh!

Hi, my name's Sean, and I can take
Jordan.

? Feel alright ?

I scored! Who are you taking?
Who are you taking?

(both grunt) ? Got some cash,
bought some wheels ?

My name's Cathal, and I'm
definitely faster than Jordan.

(laughter)
? Lost control, hit a wall ?

The one thing that... (sighs)

I always laugh at is people say
"Oh, dyslexia and dyspraxia.

Oh, it's a gift!"

What is the gift?!

Where is the gift?!

It is a disability,
not an ability, a disability.

And I wear that as a badge of
honour.

You could sit around all day and...
you know, "Oh, I can't read.

I can't speak Irish.
I can't spell."

Big whoop, I can't,

and that's that.

You know? Get back up onto the
horse and try again.

My name is Ois�n, and I'm
guaranteed to win, 100%.

Not bad. Not bad.

Next one.

My name's Brian, and I never miss.

(Jordan laughs)

Wooooah!

Oh! What was that, bud?

Name's Jordan Conway, A.K.A.
The Coach, A.K.A.

"If I miss this, I'm dead."
(laughter)

Woah! Shit!

(shouting and laughter)
Oh my God!

Pile on! Pile on!

(shouting and laughter)

We did this reaction drill,
which was really fun,

and we did a possession game,
which I really enjoyed,

but my favourite thing was
doing the Crossbar Challenge.

And when Jordan got it we all
ran and

jumped on top of him, which was
really fun.

And then we played a bit of
rounders,

and I was in the catcher position,
which I really enjoyed.

Fully game situation for
everything.

? (uplifting music)

(grunts)

Patrick, can you move into
shortstop?

Here!

So today I have something
completely different,

eh, planned for them,

because I just want to see who
kinda thrives

or who kinda, you know, gives up,

so I just kinda want to teach 'em a
little bit about that,

that certain things in
your life you just can't

get without a bit of practice,
so...

I'm going to challenge 'em today

and see how they fare with that
one.

My name is Jacob, and I'm 14 years
old.

I have three brothers.

They're all younger than me.

And, yeah, and I've my mum and dad
living with me, so yeah,

that's basically my family at home.

I want the lads to try different
sports

because it teaches
different things.

Em, and I really want them to try
rowing because

it's a great sport to help
the lads kinda work

together in synchronisation,

to help the boys work as a team
and to help them work as a unit.

Man up! (echoes)

Rowing is a coordinated movement

using 87% of the muscles in your
body, okay, so

we need to be able to
learn to row,

to be able to coordinate
all those muscles together.

So the rowing stroke
is 60% of the effort on the legs,

20% on the core,
and 20% on the arms, okay?

(Interviewer) What would make you,
like, what makes you

comfortable in yourself?

Like... sort of...

I feel myself, I'd say...

doing sports and, like, winning in
a team of people,

like, especially when
you're all, like, quite different.

Like, putting all those differences
aside

and still, like, working together
perfectly.

Look how strong you are with your
legs. That's it.

Look how strong. Aaah!
Look at that.

That's it.
You're aiming for 155.

Okay, everyone, pick up your
handles.

We're gonna do a sprint.
Get ready...

Attention... Go!

That's it, on the legs.
It's a sprint!

Go, Jimmar!

Don't be shy! Woah.

That's it. Two more strokes. Ready?

Down to zero, down to zero.

There we go!

Legs first, back, and then arms.

That's it, that's it.

Eh, I wasn't a big fan of the dark
water.

When I first saw it, it was...

mmmm... it was a bit not nice,

'cause it was like this,
boom!

Like, five metres down,

pitch black water was a bit...

It wasn't like slowly
gradual, like a beach.

It was just boom, down,

and I didn't know where the bottom
was,

and it was a bit scary.

And then we got in the boat,
and the oars were giant!

And put your hands out in front of
you, guys...

Okay!

Then turn the blades over,

okay, now lift the handle and pull
the blade

into the... into the body.

That's it. That's it.

That's it. Asher... Yeah? That's
it, that's okay, Charlie.

And we go again.

Okay.

Nice, flat hand. Yeah, that's it.
You're okay.

Jimmar, do you have your phone in
your pocket this time?

That's it.

Today was a challenging day.

Like, we did rowing, right which I
thought was just gonna be like

canoeing where
you get in and you just...

you just go for it.

No, it's just nothing like that,

and you have to, like...

Obviously, you're with the other
lads,

so you have to move in coordination

and you have to synchronise it,
which is really good

for, like, team bonding,
I guess,

and like, teams, like, it's a really
good team sport

'cause everything has to be together
and you have to communicate.

But God, it's hard.

The other thing about...

about rowing,
no matter what the shape, the size,

and again, some people, again,
back to those field sports,

they may not be able to move
that quick on the field sport.

Maybe they're carrying a bit of
weight or they have a little bit...

kinda, eh, not in the...

not in the shape of the other
kids.

They can come in here, you put them
on the water,

and they're exactly the same.

Took us... in about...

I'd say, a solid 25 minutes,

we made about maybe... 400 metres?
400 metres in 25 minutes!

Like, what?!

And then loads, like, the boat was
like, sideways for a bit,

like, it was going sideways.

Like, overall, I like to be in
control.

There's no control over them
things.

Jordan, keep those oars pushed
out.

Yeah. Push out, push out!

That's it.

Push out!

Put your blade into
the water square, okay?

Just square, with your wrist
straight.

That's it, Jordan.
Just making sure,

just look at your oars, Jordan.

Making sure they go in square.
That's it.

I can feel myself getting a little
bit frustrated with myself. I know,

I know. It's when you keep knocking
yourself, and...

Yeah, 'cause it wasn't going right
at first, the hand,

so I was getting a
bit annoyed.

It's really funny because you

actually started at the same
level as everybody else.

Yeah! Yeah! Do you know, and you
had the same

trouble that Charlie had, or
anybody else had,

even though you would be
quantified as a good sportsperson.

Yeah! The lads there, like, I took
inspiration from Hugo back there,

like, he was getting it wrong,
but he just

kept going through it, kept going.

It's like, you know what, like,

I'm gonna be like Hugo,

and it's like, just calm down
and go through the motions.

And it did work near the end.
You got... you got it.

It is one of them sports that, you
know,

makes you feel good about
yourself,

'cause when I was in sync
with everyone else,

like, I finally... "I'm finally
working it!"

And it kinda clicked, yeah.
It is! And

it was the most enjoyable thing,
just... Yeah, yeah.

It's as simple as just getting in
sync

with the row,. I know! And that was
lovely, I just...

I just wanted to keep going.

I found it very fun.

Like, if I quit football,
I might think of

joining rowing.

I'm just asking, eh, was it ever,
like, really hard to get into it?

Like, when you first started, was it
really, really hard,

or was it like... did it come
naturally to you?

I got this name in the club,
in this club,

as "the underwater sculler", so

basically, I spent more time
flipping over

than anybody else in the club.

And they actually... that was my
name.

I was most of the time, em,
swimming!

Eh, but I found a real home in
rowing,

em, it really rewarded my hard
work,

and it was really a hockey stick of
progress.

Once I committed and learned the
technique,

it was kinda just... it was a
natural progression.

It's like you're all connected,

like, you're all one person,
and you're just trying to win, like.

You don't have any other
disagreements or thoughts.

You're just trying to go forward.

? Moncrieff "Like I Do"
? Holding on to skin and bone

? Your wasted love that's not
your own ?

I think the basics is our one

big thing we need to work on, or
worry about and work on, like,

just getting to first base,

or just making sure we catch the
easy ball coming to us,

not worrying about

throwing the ball before we
actually catch it,

and then dropping the ball
and then throw doesn't matter.

You know the way? So,

it's worrying about step by step
by step

instead of planning three
things

before we even have the ball in
our hand.

Right, Jimmar, you jump back.

You're there.
Okay.

Right, so we've a run around first.
So either the first or second base.

Yeah, move it in, Charlie,
that's it.

Alright?

Good to go.

But if you're on your knees,
it's harder to get back up.

Brilliant. Go, go, go.

Okay, second base.
Second base!

Brilliant.
That's it.

Good stuff.
Well done, Jimmar, brilliant!

? He don't love you like I do,
like I do ?

At the start of COVID, I was very
worried

'cause, like, I was hearing all
these things about,

oh, people with asthma, you know,

they found it trouble... trouble to
breathe, but

I was fine then after, and I'd
only got COVID once,

but that was when it died down
completely

and I had my vaccine and
everything, so...

I found it really hard to, like,
find stuff to do,

so I ended up eating a lot and

became over... really overweight
for a while.

I don't really know, I'd say a bit
of it

was because I hadn't seen my dad
in two years, like,

and a bit of it was, like, stress
that...

he's going to be really different
and get annoyed that, like,

I hadn't tried to reach out to him

to see him in the last, like,
two years or so.

But then I ended up seeing
him and it was really nice.

We started doing stuff
and it was just really fun.

It was basically like cabin fever.

Like, it was just, like, staying in.

I didn't even leave the house
from June to December.

It was that kind of thing, like,

my parents were really scared, so,
like...

only they would go outside, and...

and when they bought food, they,
like, washed it very thoroughly.

It was very boring for me,

staying inside for, like, months and
months at a time.

I'd wake up, get breakfast,

and just straight on the computer
for, like, 10, 11 hours.

? (upbeat rock music)

My name is Peter Bull, and I'm
a professional gamer in e-sports.

Over COVID, I couldn't really see
friends

in person, so gaming allowed me to

connect with people rather than
in person, over the Internet.

Let me introduce you to Peter,
the professional e-gamer, lads,

so say welcome.
Is his name not Patrick?

(Jordan laughs) How many frames can
your computer go?

(laughs) The questions, we're going
to go right in with questions,

'cause they've so many questions.

I wouldn't be the biggest gamer
ever.

I just never really took to it.

It just was never really my thing,

but it was actually interesting that

Pacbull could get such a big
career out of it and everything.

So it was interesting.

It's something that I've really,
you know,

focused on this year is, uh,

taking care of my health outside of
the game, because...

it's pretty easy to get lost, uh,
with time,

when you're playing games,
you know,

you can play for too long,
basically.

I've been, you know,
going to the gym,

eating healthy, and it's something
that

I've seen boost my performance
in-game, because...

yeah, with a clear...

clear head, you can...
you, of course, play better.

I'd say there's, like,

there's two groups
in the group, if you get me.

Like, there's two different types
of personalities in the group.

Like, I'd say one would be more,
like...

tech and all,

and then the other
would be, like, athletic and all.

I think everyone respects
each other, like,

because we all have our
strengths, like.

Gaming has also kinda been a way of
therapeutic for us,

because sometimes life can
get a little bit on top of you,

and the only way for me to
kinda switch off from

rugby or, you know, work,
whatever it is, is just to game.

I would say there's definitely a
lot of, eh...

a lot of benefits to gaming
in moderation,

such as for me personally,

I've learned a lot of leadership
skills, in my role, in my team.

Do you ever have any bad
experiences with mates online?

'Cause I know whenever we're
playing Pro Clubs or what not

in FIFA, there's some scraps in
the party, like... (laughter)

It's true, though, like!

It's hard to take
of responsibility sometimes,

but ultimately, that's the only
way that you can improve.

And again, I think e-sports can
kind of

translate a lot of, eh,

a lot of times into other aspects
of life, you know.

We met a professional gamer,
which was the last thing

I had expected

'cause, eh, never really associated
gaming and sport,

but when you think about it,
they're quite similar

with, like, commitments and
dedication,

and, like, the focus that you play.

I'm close to sick!

Is Hugo winning?

How many CCs is this?

Hugo is in the back there. No, I'm
losing! Relax, Hugo, relax!

What?!
Hugo, come on.

Oh, no!
He's gonna bump in!

Is he gonna take... (laughter)

Yes, Hugo! Good man, Hugo!

(all cheer)

We did mostly rounders today,
so that was kind of fun,

and then a gamer came in to talk to
us, and Hugo beat him!

So I think Hugo is
the professional gamer now.

But, em, I'm going to go to bed.

(beep)

Some lads, I kind of feel like are
tasting,

you know, a bit of freedom,
you know,

eh, some boys... Nine!

..are kind of becoming wilder than
others.

I want some speed!

Em, I feel like I'm dishing out a
little bit more discipline

as the days are going on.

That's not your slope, is it?

You've got ears, bud!
Use 'em!

I told you not to go down, and you
didn't listen.
