Coaching Assistant
Kildare Gaa
County Kildare, Ireland
My experience at Kildare GAA was greatly beneficial to me, as I gained hands on experience working with teams while also being able to observe and learn from professional coaches.Some of my responsibilities included: Assisting coaches with both the minor hurling and football teams, along with the U20 football squad. Preparing players prior to training sessions and competitive matches. Assisting in the conduction of gym-based training sessions, observing weightlifting techniques and correcting exercises when needed. Taking part in a strength and conditioning case study, involving monthly programmes that focused on multiple aspects of athletic performance, such as resistance training, linear acceleration, max velocity, plyometrics, change of direction, agility, aerobic and anaerobic capacity.
