Born in Kilsheelan, County Tipperary, Power first played competitive Gaelic football in his youth. At club level he played with Kilsheelan-Kilcash.

Power has also been heavily involved in team management and coaching. An All-Ireland-winning manager with Tipperary in the minor grade, he has also taken charge of the Tipperary under-21 and junior teams.[1] Power was the manager of the Wexford senior team from 2014 until 2016.[2][3]

In September 2019, Power was named as the new manager of the Tipperary senior football team on a two-year term.[4][5]

On 22 November 2020, he managed Tipperary to their first Munster Football title in 85 years.[6][7][8][9]

In the 2020 All-Ireland semi-final on 6 December, Tipperary again faced Mayo. In foggy conditions and losing by 16 points at half-time they eventually lost the game by 5-20 to 3-13. [10][11][12][13]
