Joe O’Connor, who was a fitness coach with the Clare (2013) and Limerick (2018) All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winning teams and 2011 Christy Ring Cup champions, Kerry, has teamed up with the GAA and Sure to produce four movement and fitness videos he believes will give players the right physical foundation for a return to collective training and playing. He said, “My thought process around the four videos was that, players should be preparing their body for a return to play. A lot of injuries happen because players don't have the acceleration, deceleration, and change of direction training done. Loads of people are out jogging at the moment which is great, I'm a runner myself, but you can't just develop aerobic fitness and think you're going to be structurally able to accelerate off the mark without putting yourself at risk. So, the four videos are basically around building the foundation of that, then making you stronger, then looking at acceleration and power, and then looking at change of direction. Just to prepare people for a return to football, hurling, and camogie.” Full Story Here
