Managers happy as Cork tackling burnout blight

Newly-appointed Cork underage managers Derek Kavanagh and Diarmuid O’Sullivan believe the development squad programme rolled out by Rebel Óg officials last night will eliminate burnout amongst the county’s most talented youngsters.

The programme, centred on player education, will see Cork’s elite hurlers and footballers from U15 upwards work with UCC sports scientists in areas concerning flexibility, fitness, gym technique and video analysis at the Mardyke arena.

Moreover, each member of the county’s U15 and U16 development squads are logged onto an online portal which will allow managers monitor the amount of training sessions and games an individual is clocking.
