Heard a county GAA minor team bringing on board an S&C coach Also found out that they are doing circuits, tabata work & burpees as part of their training It's actually ridiculous that these people still get roles like this It's even more ridiculous that county boards OK it

Can't believe I'm saying this: I've spent less than a year in the coaching game with Senior Hurlers. Enjoyed in 10 times more than I ever did playing soccer in Limerick for years. Amazing what happens when people are actually sound and value you 👀👀

In Ireland, we don't have an S&C problem. With so many S&C based courses & degrees, it's hard to think that we're producing poor S&C coaches .. What we do have, is an actual sports coaching problem. An inability to coach skills effectively that transfer to games..

Night #1 - teach positions, concepts, slow training down, constrain grid sizes, restrict contact + avoiding high volume of running + higher speeds We can do this while also getting high volume of shorter distance work in, contact prep, ground based movement work + having fun

Just had a nutritionist tell my group of athletes (male senior hurlers) that 80-100g of protein is enough & anymore than that you'll just excrete it .. The worst part? I didn't even question her when she said it .. Now I hate myself.. There's no coming back from this ..

3 times this week I've had female athletes say "I'm not going to train today/do legs because I have a game at the weekend.. The narrative around training for performance has to change because if that's people attitudes then we'll only ever train for 4/6 weeks of the year ...

You can have the best 1v1 skills on the planer but if you can't create/take space, it's worthless .. Acceleration work for the win 🔥

@PlayerGaelic

A player sidesteps an opponent and gets past, only to be caught by the same opponent a second or two later; not because the opponent is particularly quick….more as a result of the player failing to accelerate away after the move. Coach acceleration when you coach evasion.

Lots of teams starting pre-season and using gym spaces/PTs. While for most it's a novelty, there's a few problems why it won't be as productive as you'd like: A thread 🧵 ➡️ Too much focus volume / bodybuilding style training Soreness is a poor indicator of a good session ..

Tough week ahead being a twitter coach 😴 This country will always be stuck in the dark ages of coaching while people who are afraid of change & confrontation still hold "positions of authority" Change is necessary, it's awkward & it's time consuming ➡️ but it's needed

It's not a win - but continuing to show that this group can and will be competitive is great to see .. Not long since they expected to be beaten every week to now being disappointed by not getting a win .. We'll continue to build on it as always ..

This is such a key point. Hurling coaches are insistent on letting play go because "it develops a competitive environment" But, come game day, are the first noise in the dressing room berating players for giving away fouls 🤦🏾‍♂️ It's actually nuts 🤣🤣🤣

When coaching evasion and tackling it is imperative to referee the game rules once the initial understanding has been developed. Watch here for carrier fouls and tackler fouls…there’s plenty of both. It can lead to an unsupportive learning environment.

S&C for youth athletes? Just start 🔥 Earlier they start, more likely it is that they'll keep it up, whether they continue to play sport or not.. But yet there's still people out there that will try and convince you it's not worth it 🤦🏾‍♂️
