@movementcoachkm @CahairOKane1 Interesting.. was chatting to another coach about our minors slow start to away matches, early on a Sunday morning! Was toying with the idea of doing a small warm up and getting the energy up before getting in the cars to leave 🤔

The victim who was well known to gardai and a prominent anti-asylum seeker protestor, met his killer or killers by arrangement in the Kill Avenue area at around 8.30am this morning https://t.co/80tEv22B5j

@PlayerGaelic I think its an area of coaching that I am way behind in.. spotting issues with individual players and having the confidence and knowledge to correct them ☹️

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

Look what just arrived! Itching to crack in to it @colmnally

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic Do you think there is some snobbery/ego’s at clubs? Comments like “he never played senior, what would he know” or “you cant learn football from a book” 🤔

@Coach_Temisan Was going out to a session last night in the wind and rain, wife said why dont you wear your big jacket.. answer: I cant run around and take part with it on 👌🏻

@fhsperformance I think if a club prioritised the development of weaker players at juvenile level with better coaches/programs they would to see a lower drop off rate going in to adult level.

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@gocall01 @PlayerGaelic Same issue with minor team! Seen advice on here last week advising forwards like that to play with their back to the sideline, will be trying out this week!

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@CiDeely And its the hardest part to get right!

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic Give the players (minor team) more info! I have started to share player/team test results, player profiles, upcoming training sessions, with the group & seeing great results. Players ready for sessions now & know what is expected.. tempted to put out starting 15 the day before 👀

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic A compendium of games is sufficient 😉

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic I love this! I do this in SSG’s, give a challenge to one team and the opposing team has to work out what that challenge is..

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@movementcoachkm @PlayerGaelic Brought 3 clubs over for a “blitz”, split 20 players in to 2 teams of 10, streamed, “A -10” playing best 10 from other teams, “B-10 played next 10, 7 aside, change 3 players every 6 minutes, played 9 mins a half, all matches competitive, all players equal playing time 👌🏻

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic Loads! Send development coaches to clubs to take sessions, better use of coaches in the county with award 2 or higher, encourage clubs to have coaching structures/forums in place, videos to highlight technical side of coaching, more engagement with coaches thru coach developers

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@live4footy @coach_kevin_m Yep 👌🏻 we set the start time 15 mins before we actually start, lads get to chat in the dressing room and do a bit of free play before the session starts… no big deal

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@kieronbutton17 @TheS_Resource Different sport, same problem.. our issue is training facilities in winter months for our juvenile teams.. small spaces, great at short range passing but struggle with kick passing over longer distances

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic I find it helpful to start the defender in different positions.. sometimes in front, sometimes from the side and sometimes chasing 👌🏻

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic Great idea! We’re working on “first pass forward” when we turnover the ball.. might give the teams a specific player to hit when that happens in our next training session and see how it goes 🤔

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@PlayerGaelic No, no and no.. in my opinion.. stance too wide, left food planted and arms too low 😅

[Laurence Rogers @rogers_lar]

@iGaelicCoach Great graphic! Was just going thru this on tacticalpad with a new mentor for our minor team on Tuesday! Fun part will be designing sessions to teach it to the players 👌🏻
