It's been a very busy few weeks for Darragh Power. Last week he played in the 2020 All Ireland U20 Final Tonight, Darragh will captain Dublin in the Leinster semi final v Offaly.
Darragh is joined by Eoin O’Connor in the squad for tonight's game.
The very best of luck lads.
Young boy told me off in training tonight for coaching the player on the ball whilst reffing.
'Why do the refs tell you what to do!?'
I asked what he meant.
He said I was alerting the defence to a pass he was going to make anyway.
He had a fine point.
Lesson, from an U9, learnt.
With matches this weekend, a few things worth considering.
Children should not be giving up sport because:
-They're always a sub
-The coach is too serious
-They're afraid to make a mistake
-Winning matters
-It's not fun
Remember, it's sport, they're children & it's just play.

Great quote half way in:
“Kids don’t want to lose if they’re trying”
Or if they’re going to lose they won’t try!
small races/competitions against their friends in 3s and 4s, to give them a chance of winning, not against the whole team where the same always win so others don’t try
