@PeterShawMSc @SetantaCollege I have ya, thanks!👍

@brianwdublin @SetantaCollege Hi Brian, think this was limited to undergraduate students of Setanta.

Last Friday I delivered two sessions at the @SetantaCollege conference. Opening with a keynote on Talent Development Environments - how we design play and environments to support athlete growth. Later ran a skill acquisition workshop on Ecological Dynamics & the Constraints-Led Approach. Great discussions all round.

@DeasunO @ncahill1 @Mike_Quirke @markstkhlm This is class Des!

@ncahill1 @Mike_Quirke @markstkhlm Here is an example of a good environment for foundation players. Yes it should only happen if the environment is good. When it is it can be very beneficial.

Ahead of a new podcast series coming in May, I came across this gem from Dr Mark O’Sullivan on nurturing young talent globally. @markstkhlm Are underage talent academies really the best way to produce elite athletes? #coaching #youthsports #parenting #fyp #sportsparents @GaelicSense @PlayerGaelic @YouthSportTrust @Coachdiary @CoachJonBeck @DRG_Coaching @coachingbadges @FAgeCoaching @CoachingManual

@GaelicStatsApp @m_brosnan Without a doubt!

@brianwdublin @m_brosnan And I think that’s where we get bogged down in the idea man to man v zonal Structures we need ofcourse but to harp back to it, your thinking has to move to a more fluid process away from such rigid thinking

“Winners write the story every year but the part of Kerry’s success that got overlooked was that they had easily the best defensive system of any team in Ireland last year.” It a far stretch to say they easily has the best defence

@m_brosnan @GaelicStatsApp Thanks Maurice!

@GaelicStatsApp @m_brosnan Would it be an idea that locking onto one man in an ‘x’ type run is ok out the pitch but in the scoring zone it’s easily taken apart with a simple screen?

@m_brosnan @brianwdublin I’m not sure it’s an either or and almost comes down being able to react to make the better decision. If we can coach players to “think systems not structures” this helps them make better real time decisions The good thing is, we will be coaching better all round footballers

@m_brosnan @GaelicStatsApp Whats your take on ‘calling the switch’ vrs ‘staying locked on’ to one player? Does it depend where you at on field in your opinion or what are you seeing teams doing?

@GaelicStatsApp I get your point, but the way they defended in the final was clever. Sat deep/called switches constantly because Donegal didn't carry into contact or shoot from outside. That's why Kerry's tackle count was so low. Wrote about it recently; they were really well-coached

@coachcaff Definitely! Looking forward to it!

@brianwdublin Do. Just mixed it up. Keep them focused not bored.

Early pre-season doesn’t have to mean long, boring runs. We mixed aerobic running with small-sided games last week — far better engagement, better intent, better outcome. Same engine work. Better buy-in. #GAA #PreSeason #Coaching #Team #sport

@colmnally @Westmeathcoach1 @westmeath_gaa Best of luck👍

Coach education in full swing. @Westmeathcoach1 @westmeath_gaa

@DeasunO @BrentfordFC Well done Des! 💪 What were your highlights?

I had a very productive and enjoyable time visiting my friends in @BrentfordFC Academy - Thanks Gruff Parsons and team. It is top level academy and a very caring and progressive environments. Brentford are a very smartly run club.

@m_brosnan Hey Maurice, how’s things? Could you send me the slides please? brian.white263@gmail.com

I was at the Performance Analysis Community event/Setanta coaching conference/St Joseph's coaching clinic recently. Few quick takeaways from them here. Nothing groundbreaking, but some excellent presentations anyway. Two-pointers♟️ Prepping scenarios 🧠 Learning from defeat 🔄

@MichaelGerardD Excellent!

@brianwdublin Although the game encourages ‘Speedy Scoring’ the increase in defensive pressure was really notable as well as they tried to stifle attacks at the earliest opportunity 🙌

💨🏐🥅SPEEDY SCORERS🥅🏐💨 -Set up a series of 3v3 4v4 mini matches ⏰If your team scores within: 5secs = score trebled 10secs = score doubled 20secs = standard score ❌cNo score after 20 = new ball in for new play to begin Continue for 5mins 🏆Highest scoring team wins

@ConanDoherty @SkerriesHarps @PaulGarrigan1 Congrats Conan, Anthony, Paul, Dinny and all…a credit to the players for digging it out and a credit to yourselves for pulling it all together 👌👍

The only thing better than playing football is watching better players play football. Especially when they're your club mates 💙
