We're looking at this from two angles - first from the coach perspective, as featured in our recently-aired show with the LGFA's Head of Coach Development, William Harmon, and @durkanb2 (schoolteacher, coach and accredited sport psychologist), which you can watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=K-x-W_… In this second show, the LGFA's Commercial and Communications Manager, Jackie Cahill, is joined by William Harmon and Anna Galvin, recently-crowned @TG4TV All-Star and a key member of the @kerryladiesfoot team that captured the TG4 All-Ireland Senior title in 2024, to discuss the importance of self-reflection from the perspective of the player. Anna also lets us into a little secret as the Kingdom look ahead to 2024 under new team management! @southerngaelsky @MunsterLGFA @SportTG4 @ConnachtLGFA @LeinsterLGFA @UlsterLadies @_annagalvin #LGFA
