Early Life
Jackie Tyrrell was born in Kilkenny in 1982. He received his primary education locally before later attending St. Kieran's College, a famed hurling nursery in the city. It was here that Tyrrell's hurling skills were developed and nurtured by the many hurling enthusiasts there. He won back-to-back Leinster colleges' titles in 1999 and 2000. This latter victory was later converted into an All-Ireland colleges title after a defeat of Gort Community College. Tyrrell later studied at the Cork Institute of Technology and at the Limerick Institute of Technology. It was at the latter institution that he won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal on a team trained by Clare's Davy Fitzgerald. Tyrrell won a second Fitzgibbon Cup title two years after his first in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Early education can only promise to help make the third and fourth and fifth years of life good ones. It cannot insure without fail that any tomorrow will be successful. Nothing “fixes” a child for life, no matter what happens next. But exciting, pleasing early experiences are seldom sloughed off. They go with the child, on into first grade, on into the child’s long life ahead.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“Each dream finds at last its form; there is a drink for every thirst, and love for every heart. And there is no better way to spend your life than in the unceasing preoccupation of an idea—of an ideal.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
