Keeping it simple key, says Kingston

Outgoing Cork hurling selector Kieran Kingston says nothing prepares coaches for the cutting edge of senior inter-county team preparation.

The Tracton man, stepping down as a selector due to work commitments, pointed out even coaches with a lengthy apprenticeship working with underage and adult club teams can find the step up a challenge.

“Most senior inter-county teams — in both codes — try to involve guys who have some experience coaching at club or underage inter-county level,” says Kingston.
