Last week over 100 coaches attended a very successful "Learning to Train" course delivered by Richard Ferris.
The next course is next Monday night 2nd February in Cross and Passion College Sportshall starting at 7.30pm.
It is an observation session which is delivered by one of Ulster's top coaches - Tommy Stevenson.
This workshop is a follow up to last years successful Strength & Conditioning course.
It will show the importance of strength & conditioning for Hurling, Camogie & Gaelic football.
The aim is to provide coaches, parents & players with an introduction into the role and methods of S&C within sport.
It has been illustrated scientifically that S&C has potential performance benefits on the field.
Topics will include core stability, weight training, power exercises, medicine ball, swiss ball and functional movement.
This course is delivered by Tommy Stevenson who has been working with the Armagh squad for the past 3 years and is the current Strength & Conditioning coach with the Antrim Senior hurlers.
Again, please encourage as many coaches, parents and players to attend. It is free of charge.
I hope to see many of you there next Monday night
