Evangelical Mick Bohan keeps his eye on the ball

Mick Bohan has worked alongside Jim Gavin embedding skills in Dublin, he has helped raised standards in Clare, and now his Dublin women stand on the cusp of an All-Ireland final. At the core of everything he does is simplifying Gaelic football’s most complex skills, writes Daragh Ó Conchúir.

“A simple skill is one that is straightforward, requires little concentration and cognitive ability. A complex skill involves a large attention span because they (sic) are complicated and are practised in training repeatedly to make it easier to perform in competition.”
