GAA’s weight game doesn’t have to be a costly exercise

Anyone seeking evidence on the obsession for strength and conditioning which has swept through the GAA should have been at a seminar in Belfast.

The key speakers were Mike McGurn and Mick Clegg. When McGurn’s credentials are touted, it’s often pointed out that he has coached professional rugby teams.

That’s impressive. But to my mind, the most impressive part of McGurn’s CV rests in his association with Anthony Tohill.
