After the age of 45, you lose 9% of your muscular power each year.
That's why as a 30 year old physical therapist, I’m all in on plyometrics and strength training.
From over a decade studying fitness, here’s the 12 best exercises to increase your power (with tips and demo):
U19 Development League
The U19 Development League is a new initiative from Kilkenny GAA & it kicks off this Friday night, 22nd March, with teams from @DubGAAOfficial, @Offaly_GAA, @OfficialWexGAA & Kilkenny competing.
The concept behind this League is to bridge the gap between inter county U17 & U20 and it’s restricted to players who have not played at U20 championship level.
The Kilkenny panel comprises 31 players from 21 clubs, led by Mark Aylward & his team. We wish Mark, his team & the panel the very best in the weeks ahead.
Ahead of our first game on Friday night, we caught up with Mark to chat with him about the U19 League.
You can hear Mark's full interview with Patrick O'Flynn on the Kilkenny Cats app. Don't miss out on any exclusive content and download the app from the App Store or Google Play. 🐈⬛⚫️🟡
BREAKING: I will no longer be using Pivot Tables. Yup, you read that correctly. Excel just released the PIVOTBY function that allows you to pivot data quickly by writing a formula. 🤯 Watch my latest YT for everything you need to know about this function. https://t.co/JWm6SWjARA
Good read for anyone with an interest in coaching, facilities & player development.

He talks about Relationism v Positionalism (Pep’s approach).
I leaned into Relationism this year in particular in Gaelic Football. Had been creeping there in recent years but went far more in there.
If you are interested in Relationism and learning about how it differs from traditional strategic approaches and say positionalism I suggest you also check out @stirling_j and his work on Fernando Diniz and Relationism in Soccer.
For what it is worth, I still find positionalism is more suited to hurling. It’s really explaining the difference between the 2 sports to me. Worth checking out.
In a world where things can sometimes get too complex
