TESTIMONIALS

I have worked with Paudie over the last five years in his role as S&C Coach / Coach of the Eire Og senior football team. 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 has significantly improved our team’s performance over the last three seasons.  (Premier Intermediate Champions 2019 & Senior A Champions 2020)

I worked with Paudie when he was the strength and conditioning coach with the Tipperary senior footballers. I had suffered a number of soft tissue injuries previously so had to be mindful of this when training. I found Paudie extremely helpful with managing my training load both in the gym and on the field. He was extremely professional and tailored my training plans to suit my individual needs. I suffered no injuries while Paudie was S&C and he played a big role in this.

I also felt I took my aerobic fitness on the field and my power and strength in the gym to a higher level under his guidance. Paudie’s attention to detail was second to none. I am very thankful to Paudie for how he helped me and would recommend him to anybody.

I first worked with Paudie with Cork and subsequently with individual athlete development programs and found him top class to deal with. His programs were specific to me and tailored towards football and the club and county season. It was a huge help having an organised program to peak at the right time of the year and something I wish I had started earlier in my career. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who wishes to develop themselves as an athlete.

I have engaged with Paudie in relation to a number of underage teams, specific players and squads from club to development squad level in recent times. His sessions have been exceptional additions, a highlight, to many of my teams seasons and to myself as a coach bringing an injection of freshness, unparalleled experience and attention to detail.

As coaches we are always looking to improve ourselves and constantly looking for ways to look outside the box. Paudie has always ensured coach education and mentoring was part of his approach to delivering targeted sessions to my teams and athletes.

Through initial phone calls prior to the sessions, during his time working with the teams and individuals and at the end of any of the sessions, he would always discuss, explain and challenge the philosophy, principles and ideas surrounding the targets of the sessions. It always meant that his contribution had a more long lasting positive effect on my coaching and the team’s and athletes performance.

His key strength throughout all engagements has been his communication with players. When dealing with players at teenage level, how we communicate aspects of our game is crucially important for the development and understanding. Paudie is an extremely impressive communicator, meaning solutions to aspects of athlete development and the game and their importance in relation to the game are clear, simple and concise.

Players have always come away with an increased awareness with regards to their performance and roles with greater confidence and enthusiasm. I would highly recommend Paudie in any aspect of coaching and guidance for any athlete, team or coach who want to be better, who want to succeed and meet the greatest potential they can.

Paudie’s preparation, level of thought, and overall attention to detail is always exceptional.
What sets him apart, however, is that he has the knowledge and experience to back up that preparation, and the ability to implement it.

Paudie puts a huge emphasis on match specific training sessions. This exposes players to many conditions and challenges which lead to significant individual and team development. He is an asset to any team.

I was very thankful for Paudie’s stewardship, when a daughter of mine was pursuing sporting excellence and he methodically assessed and fine tuned her technique and performance by implementing suitable training programs.
