On Monday Rewind, Derek McGrath discusses Maurice Shanahan opening up about depression and elite athletes' struggles with playing at such a high level with Oisin Langan.

Shanahan, an All-Star hurler, who had an excellent year by anyone's standards, opened up at the beginning of November with his struggles.

McGrath believes managers have a duty to open up to their players and understand them on a deeper level than what they can do on the field. The Waterford manager believes that passing problems on can help and says what Shanahan did took "real courage".
