The 11th
O’Neill’s Ulster GAA Coaching & Games Development Conference will take
place on Saturday 21st February 2015 in the Glenavon House Hotel, Cookstown.
The theme
of this year’s conference will be ‘Building Blocks to Improve Performance’ and will
focus on the key skills of kicking and striking. These are key elements within
our games that, if perfected and executed well, can lead to an open, exciting
and fast spectacle.
The
sessions will focus on the technical aspects of the skills but also on how
these skills can be embedded into games to improve decision-making under match
conditions.
Skills
execution also depends on being in the right frame of mind and well conditioned
to execute the skills in the game environment. The afternoon sessions will
focus on the scientific preparation of players to perform the skills of Gaelic
Games.
The
delegate cost of £25 includes lunch and delegate pack.
Special
guest speakers at the conference will be Ireland International Rules manager
Paul Earley, and the former Kerry and Mayo coach Donnie Buckley.
There will
also be a series of informative workshops, including:
