Skill Development in Gaelic Games It was an enormous honour to present on skill development at the Gaelic Games conference in November. My presentation, alongside many others, is now available via Tobar - Gaelic Games Learning: youtube.com/watch?v=_OtGhI… Here’s a short 🧵 on some ideas I covered.

Our brains are fried. You try to read a book—can’t focus. Sit with loved ones—your mind drifts to work or notifications. Feel a buzz in your pocket—but there’s no notification. We’re not just distracted. We’re digitally disoriented. Here’s what’s going on—and how to push back

Horse racing is a weight classification sport. Athletes are making and maintaining weight everyday. Historical methods are thankfully being practised less and less. Today, more jockeys are using exercise to assist their weight loss strategies. It's a tough sport 💪🏻🇮🇪🐎

The Kerry GAA Player Development Programme exists to help support, empower & equip players with the tools & confidence to improve their lives on & off the field. So they remain healthy, mindful & fulfilled throughout your time with county, club & school #thepersonbehindtheplayer
