@KieranMcC_SS @Lacey_Brian is this the first bouncer ?

Brian Hurley with a new twist on the two-pointer. Surely should get a bonus point for the bounce.

@Coachgriffin88 I would tend to agree

I don’t program Nordics very often. Why? They’re bloody tough. Most athletes aren’t good enough at them to get much out of them & for those that are good at them, they’re brutal on the hammies, so they can’t be doing them all the time. Often, I think there are better options.

@doctorinigo @RobbieBourke Great post

VO₂max represents the cardiorespiratory adaptations to exercise. It is a great metric but not the endpoint. In elite sports, we learned this decades ago. Two athletes can have the same VO₂max, yet perform very differently as the differentiator is not the cardiorespiratory capacity but the local metabolic adaptations at the muscle and cellular level which are represented by lactate. That’s why lactate became central. It tells us how well mitochondria handle energy, how efficiently fuel is used, and where metabolic limitations really are. Longevity will follow the same path. VO₂max is a useful global marker, but it’s a proxy. Metabolic health at the cellular level is the real driver of performance, resilience and long-term health. We moved beyond VO₂max in sport. Longevity science will be next.

@FAIreland A top man, brilliant appointment

FAI are delighted to confirm the appointment of John Martin as Director of Football.  Shane Robinson takes on Technical Director role on permanent basis. 👉 fai.ie/latest/john-ma…

@EamonnFlanagan Must dig out my old kits 😂, I had a wooden one made special also

@ohora0013 Congrats Diane

Thanks you to every single person for the well wishes to myself and the management team! We are all really looking forward to getting stuck in! 💚❤️

@RJPcoach @SessionShareNet @BreakthruSoccer @coach_kevin_m @JB_SoccerCoach @CRobCoaching I can’t see any issue in having it at hand. Players see you’re prepared and probably appreciate it?. Of course if you over look at it and it becomes too much scanning the page, yes that’s not great?

I enjoyed this informative video. Gives a good window into prepping a county team but some great lessons to be applied at club level too. youtu.be/aWFjzJExmZY?si…

@irishscnetwork Well done on running a great event, sorry I couldn’t make it. Was it recorded ?

That’s a wrap on the Irish S&C Conference 2025! A huge thank you to our speakers, our MC @PhysCstudy, exhibitors, sponsors and of course everyone who attended for making it happen. Will we see you in 2026? #iscn #Irishsc

Good primer drill here, check out the rest of the vids also on that series. I got some great ideas from it. For big groups, these type of things are gold to get some great work into teams. youtu.be/TLpkUJuVJ9o?si…

You don’t have to be a hurling coach to appreciate this great coaching vid. Player development and coach development. youtu.be/XMx7N9Q01qo?fe…

@Lacey_Brian 4 points for a goal ?

FRC rule enhancements have been excellent. However, the Kick Out Rule needs to be tweaked. There has not been enough clean catches medium/long. Change Kick Out Mark to on or outside 40m arc rather than on or outside 45m. That will help the game i.e. more catches more quick kick passes up to front 3.

@MrCoachMoon @pntrack Great idea !

New wristbands have arrived! 🏴‍☠️ Girls •19mph •18mph •17mph Boys •20mph •21mph •22mph •23mph 1000+ Truck Stick - Big Nasty @pntrack ⚡️

youtu.be/GwsG1fw1xEU?si… This is very good and well worth a watch.

Super content here

Players can slip through the cracks, it happens in every setup. I’ve seen it at county and club level and before you know it your key players have barely trained. Here are a few strategies to stay ahead of the chaos and keep your squad together. functionaltraining.ie/the-players-wh…

@DubGAAOfficial Super super Win! Well done to all

Wow 🔥

@irishscnetwork I use them a lot to be honest, weightlifting shoes too, fail to see major drawbacks if done in small doses.

We all know the use of heel lifts or squat wedges can help athletes with poor ankle mobility, but are they used anymore? 🤔

@CoachRGarner One of my favourite quotes. I use it a lot.

My all-time favorite quote/scripture for S&C coaching is “You can’t be a prophet in your own town.” Parents/Coaches/Athletes rarely think the coach they have is better than the guy down the street or a state away. Their word means more. No matter the results you’ve built.

@CoachRGarner Good idea here

Metabolic Conditioning Day. One of my favorite tools to start summer with. 15y up and back. 25s between reps. 1:00 between sets Sprint - Carioca - Power Skip - Shuffle - Backward Sprint - Sprint. Rest. Repeat.
