Developing Gaelic Footballers: Tips, Tricks, Fails and Fixes

This book is made up of 365 entries; not in the form of a diary, not in topic chapters, but set out in a random fashion. It’s a compendium of coaching tips, tricks, fails and fixes, designed to start you reading and make you want to check the next entry each time, just to see what you’ll get. The number 365 suggests the notion of a ‘Thought for the Day’ for coaches, with copies of the book resting on bedside tables across the country and the readers picking them up to digest one message per night over the course of a year. Who knows?Regardless of how you decide to read the book, do take time to reflect upon the entries, to debate them with others and to use as you see fit. There’s something in here for every coach, player, club and county.Much of the content will steer you towards development of the individual. When you read the abbreviation ‘PDC’ (Player Development Coaching), you can be sure that the focus is on the player rather than on a team. Both will benefit.To help you keep a record of listings that are of particular interest, I’ve included a ‘Favourites’ page. Happy browsing.Philip [email protected]
