Clifford, unlike many forwards, uses the appropriate hand based on the defender's side. Here, he uses his non-dominant hand. It's subtle, but is the appropriate limb in that situation. Despite common perceptions, this is not a common ability at intercounty.
Brilliant news this evening as Coolmeen/Kildysart & Fergus Rovers have both claimed Cup titles at the Feile Peil na nOg. Huge congratulations to all involved
Proud to present my final year project today at ATU Galway. An amazing way to wrap up four great years studying Sport & Exercise Science.
Thanks to my supervisor @SamanthaGlynn21 and all ATU staff for the support and guidance. Grateful for the experiences and connections made.

Award 1 Child Course - Session 2
🗓️ Aibreán 14ú
📍 @cbsennis
📚 Psychological Focus & Communication Skills with @PaudieButler
Take Home Learning:
- Building rapport is imperative when supporting a learning environment for young people.
- Ratio of 9:1 (Demo:Explanation) empowers the modern learner who prefers visual & kinaesthetic cues.
- Effective communication involves a two-way feedback loop, whereby the child is willing to respond and the coach is willing to listen.
- 5Cs - Competence, Confidence, Concentration, Composure & Commitment.

U16 Football Development Squad Training - @coistepeilclare@GaaClare
🗓️ Márta 6ú
📍 Páirc Astro, Cill Mhichíl
👥 30 Players
Clár an Lae:
Round 1 of Internal Games took place on Thursday evening, with a focus on executing 3 key skills in order to score, apart from conventional goals & points.
Skills in Focus:
- Players were rewarded for kick passing to grass (outside shoulder of receiver), team pressing the opposition back over a designated line and clean catching a kickout or advanced mark.
- Turnovers were a result of taking a solo/bounce inside first six steps, standing up after passing the ball and delivering a straight ball to a straight run.
All games were videoed - the education continues on @Nacsport Hub.
Kudos to all players & coaches for adopting the conditions - games were competitive and high scoring 👏🏽
