Tomas Quinn: Setting summer goals far easier than taking them

As May turns to June we have seen the first few weeks of championship football with provincial championships throwing up a mixed bag of competitiveness and quality.

With every county having either played or now on the last countdown to the start of their campaign we know all 32 teams are engaged in a similar practice, setting goals for where they want this summer to take them.

Setting goals is easy, but actually achieving those goals is a different story. You can set a goal, you can imagine yourself achieving that goal in the future, but the steps to actually reaching achievement can often be long and challenging.
