@PlayerGaelic Is this a bad thing Philip?? Look at the effect professional rugby has had on the club game. We're moving toward that in Gaa. Leitrim couldn't field.....Waterford, kilkenny, carlow, fermanagh etc further behind the top end juggernauts. Gimme club action everyday of the week.
@PlayerGaelic No im talking about intercounty senior ref top top coaches. Development squads are still volunteer in majority of counties but most "managed" by some one who knows what they're at. The coaches that go to senior clubs probably not the coaches needed at Development level anyway?
@PlayerGaelic I think nowadays in men's football coaching let's have improved and intercounty coaches are excellent in general. Ladies football different tbh. Very poor quality coaching at intercounty level outside top 10 teams.
@PlayerGaelic Coaching is about quality folks. More can be achieved in 15 mins on the training pitch when the players "get it" than the hours of mistaken messages/ lack of clarity. We've all experienced the moment when it clicks.....pure magic for a coach.
@PlayerGaelic Id agree with this. Two different roles. Both jobs challenging in different ways. A good manage should also be able to coach to a decent level and a good coach must manage sessions efv. The coach/manager dynamic is probably the key relationship in making it work.
@PlayerGaelic I think the events are limited in value. You can pick up on how the top coaches coach (theres a great YouTube of Colm Nally taking a club session - excellent rapport, communication, challenge) but after that unless ur coaching a top Snr club (top 4 team) - content irrelevant
@PlayerGaelic Yeah. More than enough. We talk too much and too long to players pre/HT/in session. There's evidence of this and most pro teams dont do IT! Look at Minute9. Eamon devlin. He did a brilliant online session on in game/session communication for Ulster Gaa.
