One of the key drivers for Leinster GAA Learning and Development Staff is Better Coaches Make Better Players. This concept is at the fore front of all Coach Education activity within the Province. As such one of the areas we are looking to offer greater assistance in, is Performance Science Support for Coaches, Clubs & Players.

Something that Clubs & Coaches may not be aware of is the level of expertise available to them, through our staff. Each County, has a designated Games Development Staff Member who is available to provide support in the following areas:

• Athletic Development Planning (Nursery to Adult)  
• Strength & Conditioning Advice/Support/Courses
• Player Education (Nutrition, Lifestyle, Recovery etc)
• Facility & Equipment Advice
• Performance Analysis Training
• And Much More
