GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COACH A LITTLE BETTER... |
| 3 words to describe yourself: |
Fun, Ambitious and
Helpful |

acheivements? |
I'm
very lucky in that I get to play in various national and international
tournaments with my Gaelic Football side Round Towers. We get a lot of
support but more is always welcome! |
| Favourite Team: |
Ireland (and
Crystal Palace!) |
| Favourite Player:
|
Steven
Gerrard - great all-rounder who is willing to do anything for the team.
He is also a true professional too. |
| Sporting Idol growing up: |
Roy Keane - Although
an erratic character off the pitch, on the pitch he was a real leader. |
| What other sports do you play or
enjoy? |
Gaelic Football,
Hurling, football and attempting to play golf. |
| What's the best thing about coaching? |
Working closely with
individual children and helping them reach their potential |
| What's the best thing about working
with futurepro? |
Having a good
laugh with other like minded coaches who know how to get the best out of
each child.! |
| Funniest thing you have seen whilst
coaching? |
Watching a fellow
coach showing off by sitting on the crossbar of a goal. Lets just say
there's a reason we don't let the children sit on the goals!!!! |
| What's your advice to budding sports
stars? |
Work on all aspects of
your game to develop as a whole player and above all, enjoy your sport. |
