Our u16s are entering the final stages of their 3 year plan and it is great to see all the work they did in previous years becoming so apparent. All of our academy athletes must complete 12 months of ressistance band...

How many of you learned how to run properly as a kid? We are all taught how to kick a football or strike a sliotar but almost none of us were taught good running mechanics Or is it just a coincidence everyone in the 100m final runs very similar?

Being fast, athletic and powerful is an ability very few have on a sports field. Here at @WaterfordGAACG we try to ensure our academy squads know this and understand it is a long and hard working journey to become a highly functioning athlete

10kg weighted pull ups, these kids amaze me sometimes. Can't wait to re-test them in 2 weeks after our most productive winter to date. Thanks as always to our venues for providing such fantastic facilities. Great environments for the lads to grow, develop and learn

Rotational speed and strength, a great skill that bridges the gap between gym and on-field performance

@PerformTraynor @officialgaa Do you have a graphic to show it from the other side? Would be really interesting to see it from the hurling side as a comparison

I'm always blown away by the commitment some people give to the cause, and these guys are no exception. Getting through 200+ kids for testing on a late Friday night to help further the AD programme A pleasure to work with and provide some semi-useful advice too 👏

@Ronan_Devlin @WhelanGavin @darrybunne @WaterfordGAACG @EoinMorrissey88 ...the outcome. Every elite athletes' path is different, so it's hard to know exactly what works. We believe what we are doing will help improve our lads' athletic ability, but we also hope they will make friends and a lifelong love of sport and staying healthy because of it

@Ronan_Devlin @WhelanGavin @darrybunne @WaterfordGAACG @EoinMorrissey88 I believe that athletic development and strength in young athletes can take numerous forms, so putting no value on it is almost impossible. Kids do atheltic movements every day, so I guess it's just the amount of value you believe that movement will add to help achieve...
