Coaching Workshops with Eamonn Ryan & Gerry Wallace

​On the 13th January a large attendance of coaches from Eochaill Óg, Ladies Football and Camogie gathered at Club Aras to pick up some words of wisdom from Eamonn Ryan, multi All-Ireland winner with Cork Ladies Football Team. On what was an appalling night, with snow falling heavily outside, the large crowd was testiment to the respect held for Eamonn througout the club. Eamonn concentrated on the basics of gaelic football and put on a very interesting session and everyone left enthralled and enlightened by the man. It was easy to see why he is so successful and teams want to play for him.

​On the 28th January Gerry Wallace held another training workshop and interested coaches once again turned out in force to gain some golden nuggets of information. Gerry discussed the basic principles of good coaching and also performed a practical demonstration in the hall, focusing on hurling. Overall both workshops were very productive and here’s hoping the advice heeded will pay dividends for all Youghal teams in the forthcoming season. Big thanks to Aidan Foley for organizing both workshops. It was certainly a busy January as huge numbers turned out and successfully completed Level 1 Coaching Courses and Child Welfare courses over January. Well done to all!!
