National bosses share a life in the day of Irish coaching elite

BRIAN KERR and Eddie O’Sullivan joined forces in Dublin to call on national coaches to implement long-term coaching strategies in this country.

Ireland’s soccer and rugby bosses also used the opportunity of a coaching workshop to share some fascinating insights into how they prepare their teams for competition at the highest level.

Speaking at a seminar in DCU organised by the National Coaching and Training Centre in association with Lucozade Sport, the duo agreed there were no quick-fix solutions at international level and highlighted the need for a coordinated approach to coaching from the grassroots upwards.
