Young: Lockdown has stripped away players’ identities

This is a ‘really challenging time’ for players, says Damien Young, performance analyst with Tipperary hurlers.

Damien Young, performance analyst with the Tipperary hurlers these past 12 years, caught up with a friend, via Zoom, on Sunday last.

It was a conversation typical of this lockdown period. The questions posed were the same ones we have all been asked in recent weeks: How are you managing? How are you adapting to working from home? How are you finding the restrictions? And so on and so forth.
