@PlayerGaelic This shouldn't be a surprise as you want to help players in any way possible similar to the GK's. Do you know if this coach is a former intercounty forward or just a coach with a specialisation in forward play?

There is a county set-up, where one coach works only on scoring from play. He does almost all using opposition….from 1v1s up to 3v3s. He uses video to record and players get regular feedback on strengths and challenges….technique, movement, timing, evasion etc. Surprised?

@coachshanerice @movementcoachkm Hi Shane, when you say skipping, do you mean with a rope? I'm very interested in trying to get GAA players & other sports to use skipping/jumprope as form of basic plyo training, improve spring in Jump & a conditioning tool. Any information you have would be great to hear 👍

As the years go on; I’m doing less and less lifting in the weights room & more on field prep work in the off season. One thing I’m focusing on more than ever now is extensive work through med balls & jumps, Periodization through accelerations & decels. An oldie but a goodie is skipping. Moving through different planes in resisted banded work, all on field. Hypertrophy has its place but never a priority, muscle will come through weights lifted but not sure teams realize that these new rules will bring an even bigger importance of S&C on grass.

Really nice visual on what a week should cover from a strength, power & speed POV. Sprint every week, maybe twice. One massive issue in Gaelic Games now is too much weightlifting and bodybuilding. So you have lads walking around 5-8kg above the weight their top speed is and it also limits the amount of repeat runs they can make. This issue is about to explode into an even greater one. Mindless when play a sport (Gaelic Football) that next year could ask in some players 15-30% more running than last season!! We are heading for an injury epidemic like no other if teams don’t prepare properly going forward. Some of the stuff I’m hearing from Senior Club and Inter County teams around the country already is mind bending stupidity. One leading “manager” (in inverted commas ‘cos hardly deserves the title) has completely ignored the protests of the S&C Coach in the demands of training and running said manager wants to do. Supposedly the highest level of the game. Paid professional ignored. Don’t think this isn’t common. We have to get to the needed KM’s, sprints, High speed runs and all that. But if we do it overweight and too fast we are absolutely going to break down. It’s physics folks, and some of these geniuses don’t believe in it. Credit: @hansenathletics

Thanks very much for having me @donacarneybns 👍 I had great fun coaching all the lads their new skills 💪

Brilliant work by all the students & staff in @FaughartCNS yesterday! They didn't care what the weather was like, just wanted to learn new skills 👏💪👍

SKIPnROPE! What a perfect way to kick off our Junior Sports Day earlier in the yard than with local man Mark McCabe who brought his SkipnRope workshops to the Junior yard for the day. @ActiveFlag #activeschools @skipnrope

We were delighted to be invited into the @IrelandAMVMTV studios to show the presenters a few skills to add to their workouts 😀 💪 Well done @kierancuddihy & Alan Hughes 👏 👍

@DropkickMangan Probably a silly question but why do they not wear all the pads, helmet etc in the combine? Could play a big influence on centre of gavity/bodyweight/arm positioning etc... when kicking or say running & catching for Louis RZ as a receiver.

Rory Beggan went 100% in his Field Goal chart, with a long of 60 yards, in front of 31 NFL teams. To put that into context for Irish fans on how difficult that is to do - it’s like getting an A1 in higher level Maths in your leaving cert. Without a calculator. #GAA #NFL #ipp

There is a group of friends running the Barcelona marathon in March to raise funds to support @simonstowngaels and @MeathGAA Footballer Niall Kane, who’s been battling cancer for the past 18 months. Do support, if you can - link here 👇 gofundme.com/f/running-for-…

Skipping is a great way to keep children active during yard times and a terrific P.E. lesson. It helps a child's fitness, balance, co-ordination & rhythm. Send us a Comment/DM if your school is interested in purchasing a school set. #skipping #jumprope #yardgames #lunchtimefun
