© GAA Where’s the Evidence?..... Data Collected from the development squads points to areas where players are underdeveloped. Data Collected from U14, U15, U16, U17, Minor, U21 & Senior squads show that many of these areas are not addressed and in some cases deteriorate as players mature. The Data clearly shows that we are not developing the physical aspects of the player

© GAA What are the obstacles? To achieve optimal Development (Physical & Skills) we need 4 key things: 1.A Structured & Planned Practice Regime 2.A Structured & Planned Training Regime 3.A Structured & Planned Competition Regime 4.A Structured & Planned Recovery Regime
9
© GAA Coaches have limited knowledge in specific areas Poor activity profile of our nation Limited functional competency of our youth Contradictory advice from all involved in coaching & training More Obstacles………
10
© GAA Solutions…… Plan & Structure Practice, Training, Competition & Recovery for players as best we can Educate the players on what matters – what will improve their performances Reinforce this in training by taking time out to train the different components of fitness Keep it simple,,,,,,,,,,stupid Take a long term approach to the players physical development – what is the worst aspect of the players current physical development – give them the space, time and support to work on this. Create a culture within you’re team and club to address and support the long term development of all players.
11
© GAA Practical Examples & Ideas……. There are no shortcuts Old school can be best – in moderation We need to teach players how to run, move, jump, roll, twist, turn, accelerate, decelerate We need to make players mobile & flexible to be able to do this We need to make players strong enough to do this We need to make players develop theire cardiovascular system to keep on going We need to ensure players have a healthy and optimal body composition to do all of the above.
12
© GAA Reality on the ground….. No equipment Don’t know how to use equipment – if there is some there Don’t know how to teach exercises Don’t want to hurt the player – do too much Players at all different levels – especially 12- 17years Too many players for one coach to watch
13
© GAA Get on with it – no one else will…… AND everyone else is…..

15
© GAA Body Weight Conditioning Examples
16
© GAA Earn the right to Progress Players should only progress to higher levels of training when they have surpassed the current level they are on Weight training with resistance should only be introduced when body weight is no longer overloading the player enough Weight training should improve a players physical condition when introduced at the right time and in the correct way If players are challenged enough through body weight and other forms of training the need and desire for weight training is reduced Beware of the trainer that does all conditioning using weight training – is it improving mobility, power, speed, flexibility, improving intensity, balance, control, ……..
