Munster Council pointing the way forward

LAST Saturday, in the magnificent Mallow GAA complex just outside the town, around 200 club coaches gathered for an all-day coaching seminar sponsored by the Munster Council.

It featured presentations from the likes of Kerry legend Eoin ‘Bomber’ Liston, Cian O’Neill (trainer of the Tipperary senior hurling team, among others), Gerry Fitzpatrick (sports psychology lecturer in WIT and acclaimed strength & conditioning coach) along with a host of top Games Development Administrators from the province.

It was an impressive day’s work, a very positive indicator of just how far the GAA has progressed in recent years in creating a well-organised structured coaching process, incorporating all the most modern thinking and ideas.
