There’s more to training than sweat and tears

All over the country teams are back training, aspiring and vowing to “work hard” every night.

But how many teams will just settle for having built up a serious sweat and the comfort that comes from collective effort and suffering, and how many of them will go to that higher place of not just having worked hard in their session but having worked hard on their game?

There is a significant difference between the two, and it was one of the strongest take-home points to come from last weekend’s annual GAA Coaching Conference in Croke Park.
