O’Neill’s ‘tough’ training keeps Kerry ‘focused’

Long-serving Kerry defender Marc Ó Sé has been singing the praises of Cian O’Neill, the Kingdom’s new physical trainer.

Ó Sé says O’Neill, who had stints with All-Ireland finalists Mayo last year and the Tipperary hurlers before that, is keeping the Kingdom “focused”.

Ó Sé admitted: “Cian is excellent. Freshness is important. He’s pushing all the players. Training is very hard, very tough, it’s only January but already the bodies are feeling good. The new regime is very tough but I don’t think there’s a team in the country that isn’t finding it tough. That’s what you want to do, to challenge yourself.
