Use what he has to build what he doesn’t. 🔵

Gaelic footballer, Aerobic profile. A real engine. But he lacks acceleration, general strength and sprinting power.

The easy mistake is more running because he’s good at it. We do the opposite. His engine becomes the tool that lets him sprint more.

The main block: 6 second sprints, 24 seconds rest, as many reps as he can hold within 5% of his target speed.

Once he drops outside that, the set is done. First session, he got 12.

A big aerobic engine refills the sprint fuel tank faster between efforts. So he gets more good quality sprints than most players would. Then we finish with upper body strength and size work to build the frame.
12 is the number to beat next time.

Hybrid on paper. Not yet on the pitch.

This hurler tested as a Hybrid profile. His speed and his engine sit in balance. But balanced is not the same as big. The ratio was good.

The raw numbers were low across the board.

Strength, power, endurance and capacity all have room to grow.

So the off season job is simple. Build the whole athlete.

Three big sessions a week, each one covering a few qualities at once.

This one: jumps, sprint drills and short accelerations, then heavy lifting. Trap bar deadlifts every minute on the minute, back squats, slow lowering RDLs, finished with hamstrings and calves. Add a game of 5 a side once a week and he’s touching speed, power, strength and running every week.

The profile tells you the balance. The numbers tell you how much work there is to do. You need both.

Save this if you coach a player who looks fine on paper.

Return-to-play done right: train the quality, spare the tissue. 🚴‍♂️

This is an aerobic-profile soccer player — 20, Leinster Senior League — early in his comeback from injury. One team session a week so far. His off-season job is a big one: build the alactic capacity, speed and repeat-sprint power that profile is light on, and we’re going after it at every chance.

But you can’t bury a returning athlete in running volume.

So we use the Watt Bike.

Those sprint efforts still demand force and leg speed — he keeps developing the exact quality we’re chasing — but his legs get a break from ground contact and running load while the injured side catches up.

Pair it with upper-body strength and the session earns its keep without over-stressing what’s still healing.

Same goal. Smarter delivery.

That’s the difference between training a profile and babysitting an injury.

3,555 inter county players just told us what they want. Are we listening?

76% of male footballers want no more rule changes. They’ve spent a year learning to read this game. Let them get good at it.

85% want their performance data shared to help manage workload and injury. That same data could tell us if the rules are actually working.

And the bodies are taking a hit. 74% got injured this year. Nearly half of them were out a month or more. 49% had two weeks or less between club and county.

Leave the rules. Share the data. Look after the players.

Should every county have to share its GPS data? Tell me below.

Kilmaley ditched the bands before games, moved gym work to players’ own time, and went to training with one clear aim. Train hard and hurl for an hour.

That intention is the best part. When everyone knows why they’re there, training gets better and the group pulls together.

But two things still matter. Senior hurlers need to lift. And you need some running to build the engine. Drop those and it will catch up with you.
