First workshop of 2026 done ✔️ Young/new coaches don't need more theoretically knowledge They need more practical information about what works. How to logistically set up a training session. How to organise a training week. That's what these workshops are aiming to do.

I always complain that when it comes to coacb education that there's a real lack of application to it Very little you can take from them and implement immediately Not with this Speed & Agility workshop for coaches on Monday @ 10am in Atlas High Performance

Track & Field should be the foundation of every coaches programming & methodology. It covers every aspect of development from beginner to advanced and it’s very straight forward. It removes all other variables that affect performance. You got better or you didn’t.

One thing about opinions on here: You’ve gotta understand sometimes beliefs are rationalizations more so than true philosophy. Eg. Coach A says you only need to sprint 10’yards, no further. Then you find out they only have room to sprint 10 yards. They may just be coping 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every sport is the same Soccer might just be the worst for it in this country
Missy Mitchell-McBeth@missyMmcbeth

Sport coaches and parents love “sport specific” training because it eye tests true enough that it might actually work. Athletes love it because that 3lbs of band tension means they don’t actually have to put in real work. Strength coaches hate it because they understand the lack of transfer and the waste of precious time and energy resources.

@ncahill1 @irishscnetwork Speed development always. It's the hardest to gain & the quickest to dissipate when we stop training it and it has the biggest impact on the outcomes of games. Crawling, tumbling & wrestling variations for strength work if limited on time. Speed ever present ..

@DeasunO Agreed that they shouldn't be and that information is readily available. I just don't feel they are being guided in the right direction. Based on personal experience with taking students in for placement opportunities. Speed is still not a priority for alot of S&Cs/Coaches/Teams

@sw_elite Ireland has some of the best S&C’s sport scientists in the world. New graduates should not be working with professional athletes. Plenty of information available for students. But yes a focus should be on GAMESPEED in rugby to bridge the gap.

A powerful and fast winger ends Munsters champions cup. Ireland need to develop this type of player. Other provinces are making progress in this area. Game changers.

Getting the balance between running Atlas High Performance like a business and being stuck in the weeds of daily operations as Head Coach is a tough one .. 2026 - more coaches workshops, more webinars, more online coaching

Great to be back after the break .. No need for New Years resolutions this year, just an agreement to: - Build a community that delivers results & people love - Develop a reliable, eager & curious tean of coaches - Be ruthless & decisive in my pursuit of it Seems simple
