Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2149016/fan_mail/new] What does it take to go from a small village in Northern Ireland to becoming the starting kicker for the New Orleans Saints? For Charlie Smyth, the answer includes years of dedication, an obsession with mastering his craft, and the courage to pursue an opportunity most people would consider impossible.  In this episode of the Overruled Podcast, David Vicknair sits down with the Saints kicker to discuss his remarkable journey from Gaelic football to the NFL. Charlie shares stories about growing up in Mayobridge, discovering American football, navigating the NFL International Player Pathway Program, earning his spot with the Saints, and embracing life in New Orleans. Along the way, he offers valuable lessons about discipline, preparation, process-driven thinking, and what it means to bet on yourself. Here’s what we discuss in this episode: 🏈 Charlie went from never kicking an NFL football to becoming the Saints' starting kicker in less than two years. 🇮🇪 His Gaelic football background helped develop the leg strength and discipline that translated to the NFL. 🧠 Success comes from focusing on the process, not obsessing over outcomes. 🎯 Elite performers often share a common trait: mastering the fundamentals repeatedly. ⚜️ New Orleans has become a second home thanks to its passionate football culture and strong sense of community.
