Training cap not the answer to burnout problem, say managers

A LIMIT on training sessions will not solve the escalating problem of player burnout, say a number of senior inter-county managers.

Director General Liam Mulvihill will suggest a capping of training in his report to Congress next month, in a bid to combat fatigue. However, the general feeling among managers suggests the problem goes much deeper than that.

"I agree with Liam that something needs to be done but the problem doesn't lie with the inter-county game," Monaghan football manager Colm Coyle said.
