LGFA special: 'The importance of self-reflection' - The Player perspective

In the second of a two-part mini series, we explore the concept of self-reflection, and its importance within our sport.

We're looking at this from two angles - first from the coach perspective, as featured in our recently-aired show with the LGFA's Head of Coach Development, William Harmon, and @durkanb2 (schoolteacher, coach and accredited sport psychologist), which you can watch here: https://t.co/uKNLA13BbY

In this second show, the LGFA's Commercial and Communications Manager, Jackie Cahill, is joined by William Harmon and Anna Galvin, recently-crowned @TG4TV All-Star and a key member of the @kerryladiesfoot team that captured the TG4 All-Ireland Senior title in 2024, to discuss the importance of self-reflection from the perspective of the player.

Anna also lets us into a little secret as the Kingdom look ahead to 2024 under new team management!
