Katie Taylor and Paul O'Connell in What Drives You video

Toyota has released the first in a series of videos featuring exclusive footage of Ireland's leading sports personalities and Toyota ambassadors exploring what drives them, writes Trish Whelan.

The first installment can be viewed at toyota.ie and Toyota Ireland's youtube channel youtube.com/toyotaireland and offers the viewer an intimate glimpse into a day with
Olympic boxer Katie Taylor and Ireland rugby captain Paul O'Connell.

The two sporting legends try to spend a day in each other's boots, with Paul sparring with some promising young boxers from Katie's gym, and Katie learning how to kick and pass on the pitch with Paul and a team of talented young rugby players. The pair ask each other searching questions about their respective disciplines, their training regimes and about what drives them.

The series of web videos are themed around personal and professional drive and the pursuit of excellence and feature Katie, Paul, Ireland fly half Jonathan Sexton and Dublin GAA captain Stephen Cluxton.

The next installment of the video series will feature Ireland's Jonny Sexton and Stephen Cluxton testing out each other's kicking skills and will be launched in November.
