On Wednesday, the Connacht star bumped into a 14-year-old at the park, a young man who was feeling down so the former Irish underage player thought nothing of spending a little time with him and having a chat to see if he could do anything to cheer him up.
The pair kicked ball and spoke and Carty imparted some wisdom.
If that wasn't enough, he called around to his house later in the day with a signed jersey and a card that had a note to reinforce some of their talking points.
"Always remember to keep the head up," it read. "Don't mind people who are jealous of you and your soccer skills. "At your age, I wish I had as good a right foot."
Carty went on to offer him abd his family a trip to a Connacht game the next time they are around and, because of him, a 14-year-old who was down is now feeling six-foot tall.
Jack Carty, an everyday hero.
