If you use it right, the warm up is one of the most important parts of the session.
But coaching courses do a terrible job showing you how to make the most of it

If you coach children, it’s important to recognise that learning & performance isn’t linear
Children will learn, forget, perform, make mistakes
Creating an environment where you offer support & challenge, as well as excitement and fun will help give them strong foundations
U-13 hurling this evening. Going to finish with the game ‘Superpowers’. Lots of strategy/decision making involved & a great way way to focus on skills in the context of a game. I’ll run a mini ladder league. 3 games going & teams moving up or down based on their result. #GAA
