Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The truth about half-time team talks: from an expert with Brazil & GAA counties
Q: Is there still a value in a manager just flipping a lid and an emotional team talk?
If trust is high between the players and coach, emotional responses can be impactful, but if done too often, they lose their effect.
The truth about half-time team talks: from an expert with Brazil & GAA counties
Q: What would be the biggest mistake that you would see coaches make from your research and working with teams when they come in at half-time?
The biggest mistakes include failing to emotionally regulate before addressing players and providing excessive messages during the half-time talk.
Why can’t more Gaelic footballers use both feet? Are we coaching the solo wrong?
Q: What should coaches do to improve weak-sided kicking in their teams?
Coaches need to prioritize small-sided games and ensure that players regularly use their non-dominant side in practice, as merely focusing on the dominant side will not yield balanced skill development.
Why can’t more Gaelic footballers use both feet? Are we coaching the solo wrong?
Q: What are the big findings from your research that surprised you?
The research showed that even among elite players, about 80-90% are still very one-sided, contradicting the belief that two-sidedness is necessary for success in County football.
Why can’t more Gaelic footballers use both feet? Are we coaching the solo wrong?
Q: Can you explain the whole idea of laterality in Gaelic football?
Laterality refers to limb dominance and how it influences skill performance. It examines whether a player is left- or right-sided in various skills and emphasizes the goal of developing players to be able to use both limbs effectively.
