Let’s work together with the goal of improvement for the coming year. Complete Enquiry Form including some details of your experience, team involved with this year and potential areas of focus or improvement.
Athlete Development programs are provided to improve physical performance across the board. This can include OFF, PRE & INSEASON Phases of the Teams Annual Plan. Programs are aligned with the playing style of the team & delivered in conjunction with the technical and tactical preparations.
A program or exercise doesn’t need to be fancy / complicated to make a difference. It is about selecting a tool that meets your group’s needs and completing it consistently in the right amount and at the right time! Then it’s the application of coaches and players alike, which will decide what improvements, are made. All teams are training, but some are improving more than others!
”A suitable program run well and good things can happen”
Option 1: I am fully integrated as part of the management team, overseeing the physical preparation program. I am in attendance on regular consistent basis at gym, pitch and games. Gym based programs are designed depending on where athlete is right now, time of season, and injury history. Pitch based preparation are designed in conjunction with the coaching requirements of the group. The planning + monitoring of load is key component here. Hard work / intensity is key but is it about the right work at the right time = ensuring high quality training / playing and minimising risk of injury.
Option 2: I am integrated as part of the management team but support is provided through combination of on and off site support. The detail required here will depend on the skillset of other members of management, where the team is right now in their physical / performance journey and potentially the training location.
Option 3: I provide external support / advice to a management team who may already have one or number of people completing S&C type duties. There is a commitment for the season and it is about spotting areas of growth for both the management and team and then agreeing on the right intervention to support this. For example this could involve overseeing the the Gym based S&C, dealing with an area of the pitch based preparation or could be focused on the planning, scheduling or monitoring of the overall program.
Option 4: A program may be required for a certain time of season or a coach may require a SOLUTION to a particular part of his/her training program. For example it may be in relation to appropriate warm ups or supplementary fitness session’s or the when & how of speed development in a team environment.

TESTIMONIALS
“I have worked with Paudie for the past three years in his capacity as Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Kenmare Shamrocks Senior football team. As a senior club in Kerry, we have a very demanding schedule between the Senior Club and County Championships, as well as an extensive County League programme. The games are played week on week, but our injury profile over the past three years has been incredibly resilient, thanks to Paudie. The knowledge that he brings in terms of injury prevention is enormous.
His attention to detail is hugely impressive, and he thinks deeply about the S & C programme he sets for the players, regularly tweaking it as he deems fit, depending on training and match schedules. He regularly takes the lead in training sessions also, where the players always respond to his enthusiasm and expertise. He replicates match-specific situations, and everything worked on in a session has a purpose.
The quality that sets him apart however is the breadth of his football knowledge, which perfectly complements his S & C expertise, to provide a fully rounded base for players to rely on. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Paudie, he has been a valued sounding board for me and the rest of management throughout our time working together, and it has been our very good fortune to have him on board with us.
I could not recommend Paudie highly enough to any coach, team, or individual athlete who wants to explore the ceiling of their potential, and not leave things to chance”.
I have worked with Paudie in his role as S&C/Coach of the Eire Og senior football team from 2019-24. Over this period, Paudie’s commitment to developing us collectively as a team and individually as players and athletes has been first class. Paudie’s application and attention to detail in the various elements of athletic development and coaching are his greatest strength’s. From S&C to skills execution to tactical awareness, Paudie’s ability to create a culture of self improvement and teamwork makes playing football enjoyable and rewarding.
