Tadhg Leader quit his job at JP Morgan started his new venture ‘Leader Kicking’.
It was somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean that Tadhg Leader decided to push all his chips into a most unlikely venture, a business that would rise and fall on how proficient Irish players were at kicking an American football.
He had just brought two Irish hopefuls to college camps in the US. Ross Bolger and Ronan Patterson were rookies in every sense. Everything from the equipment to the snaps and the surroundings were new. But with the pressure on, Bolger and Patterson had blown the doors off in front of enough of the right kind of people to generate the momentum Leader’s project needed.
