Thatās the nub of it really. So much expected from
Such a young age nowadays. Shur all you can do is help them, encourage them, and try encourage them to be good teammates and hope they develop a decent amount of resilience that will stand to them in life outside sport. I enjoy watching them play, Shur itās torture in its own way but I like watching a young lad develop both as a player and as a person. They wont be winning all round them but theyāre making friends and hopefully have lads whoāll have their backs in other walks of life off the field too.
After that itās all a bonus.
Happy Fatherās Day lads. Having a grand aul scone and coffee in bed here

Iāve been involved in coaching teams of all ages for the past 15 years or so and believe me, it sounds like heās doing fine. The click can arrive at any age and the best thing you can do is maintain their interest for as long as possible and play with them outside of the organised coaching as much as possible.
The hurling is a tricky one because of the coordination, but just keep plugging away. I donāt know your own experience, but it would definitely be worth asking one of the āexpertsā from the club to take a look and see can they spot anything he could improve with the technique.
Not everyone can break down the hurling skills to a coachable level. It might sound mad, but with the parents permission, Iāve recorded kids striking from the hand and slowed it down to show the parents what the child is doing wrong and how they might help them correct it. The video makes a massive difference.

First one here too.
It will be low key. Little manās morning nap was much shorter than hoped so not a great start to the day.
I had a few pints yesterday so thatāll do me,

Got my first CĆ¹l Camps backpack this week. Feel like I can properly join this thread now as I always viewed them as the quintessential Irish dad accessory.
Look forward to using it on many lads weekends away in the future.

We had podium finishes in the 60m & 100m sprints at junior infants sports day the other day. We won the sack race, had a disaster in the egg nā spoon relay (cheers for ruining our medal chances SeĆ”n 
) but rounded things off by comprehensively winning the long distance race (lap of the GAA pitch inside the gates of St Anneās Park). Our junior parkrun experience told here as we ran a measured race from the gun & didnāt waver when others tried to upset the form book with surges & erratic sprints & pace changes. We went through the gears & picked off a few toiling competitors before striding clear impressively & winning at our ease.

You canāt get a holiday flight without seeing the cul camp bags. We use them ourselves.
