braz83 won’t like this
There’s no point in trying to educate a Tipperary man.
Lock the thread
Julio, I think you need to talk to Chocolate Mice.
Caught something about recovery and burn out on the radio driving home from work. Think it was on newstalk.
Seemed interesting enough, must listen back to it.

Why is the high rate of hip replacements confined to GAA players compared to other sports?
The shoulder to shoulder hip to hip challenge wouldn’t help either.
Lack of proper rehab/mobility? Huge and sudden increase in games and training volume for “star” players from 18 with college, county, 21s, club? Long drives before and after training?
The GAA seems to be years behind other sports when it comes to training/conditioning regimes. An awful lot of GAA players seem to be carrying too much timber, most of them barely resemble athletes.
Could have something to do with the fact that they’re amateur.
Yes it was…
I’d imagine most county boards spend more on their county teams than the vast majority of LOI clubs do on their first team squad.
Ah they’d play far more games as someone pointed out above. You’re comparing apples with oranges.
I think the biggest reason is that most of the conditioning programmes are to the highest professional standards but that proper periods of rest are not sufficiently built in.
In the case of most players their job will not allow for the required rest periods these programmes call for hence the high attrition rate.
League of Ireland players don’t look 2 and a half stone overweight.

Most GAA players don’t even have proper jobs.
Not by the time they get out of The Joy they don’t.
Is that the same time they GAA coaches get out of the nonce wing?
