Jason Forde feared the end of his Tipperary hurling career when Liam Cahill called him in October. Major squad turnover followed, with Patrick 'Bonner' Maher and Dan McCormack retiring and Cathal Barrett being axed. Forde was relieved of free-taking duties and reduced his gym workload. Those changes allowed Forde to rediscover his best form after a disappointing 2024. The combination of altered responsibilities and adjusted training contributed to a revitalized performance level for the experienced Premier forward.
