Being a team mentor.

Loving it and living it…

@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter Dublin ladies did incredibly well to win AI’s in 23/25 after huge upheaval

An almost underrated achievement

[Shane Wall @ShaneWall82]

@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter Maybe the case study is how to remain competitive during the change

What are the multitude of factors at play?

Squad depth, age profile, team cultures, backroom teams, preventing injuries, co boards. Then the immeasurable like the type of character that can leave a group

@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter Team in last champ game v Donegal

@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter And as regards lads v ladies retention…

Mayo played Tyrone in 2021 lads final

2021 v 2025 teams. Open to correction but taking 2021 v their last championship game in 2025 it looks to me like roughly 5 mayo survivors v 10 Tyrone

So I make it 13 ladies v 15 lads survived

[Shane Wall @ShaneWall82]

@m_brosnan @Shane_Mangan @Mayosupporter As regard Meath ladies v Dublin ladies, not much difference in numbers lost from 2021 to 2025

2021 v 2025 finals. 13 survivors available. 7 Dublin v 6 Meath

2026 could be a diff story…

All time great Christmas present for kids who can’t stop kicking indoors

6 years old and still going strong

Less noise and less likely to break shit up indoors

🎅 🎁

[Shane Wall @ShaneWall82]

Another great little adventure. New friendships and memories made along the way. As always the gossun there to keep be company

Congrats @SkerriesHarps and @AnthonyMalone76. Some real gutsy wins along the way that none of us will forget

If you’re moving onto the Astro to keep your teams going over the winter here’s three games players love.

Our Astro is caged off with four goals but hopefully something to be got out of them if your conditions are different.

Watch the top players get their heads up

Before performing the skill there’s scanning, understanding & deciding

Not sure we help develop players enough in these 3 areas

Can we align our games, activities & coaching behaviours to help players perform the above in the chaos?

[Shane Wall @ShaneWall82]

The dream is to assist and encourage players to:

🏐Observe the environment
🏐Understand the situation
🏐Make the right decision
🏐Execute the skill

Some games to help develop points 1-3

Born from this excellent pod

Mark Jackson doing Mark Jackson things at the weekend…

🚀 Two 2 pointers
🧤 Two point blank saves
🧤 One normal time penalty save
🧤 A save in the penalty shootout
🚀 Scores the winning penalty in the shootout

Have fun stopping that one…

High quality basic skills
Incredible athleticism
Elite desire and hunger

But maybe most importantly a great team player, as typified by her wristband bearing her injured team mates initials

Congrats to Orlagh and the dubs on an outstanding performance

When ye just can’t get enough of it in Galway

[Shane Wall @ShaneWall82]

Spent two years working with this legend and she’s one of the very best in the business 👸

Did a remarkable job keeping the team competitive, picking up a Leinster and a promotion all through a huge transition of players

Best of all she did it with a smile 😊

U15 session a couple of weeks ago for anyone interested. Boys enjoyed it

Trying to put a bit of focus on the non dominant side

The dream is to be as comfortable on the ball as the Kerry boys 🏐🤤

Any improvements, let me know

[Shane Wall @ShaneWall82]

Has there ever been a manager like McGuinness?

All his teams are next level when it comes to the basics

Desire, running, competing, contesting, level of focus and concentration

Everyone maxing themselves.
Incredibly admirable from the outside, inspirational on the inside.
