Limerick’s Stephen Lavin - blazing a new trail for the modern coach and player
Description
I want to say a big thank you to PST Sport for their continued support as title sponsor for this project. Go to pstsport.com for world class delivery of all your artificial grass pitch needs.
Stephen Lavin played senior inter-county football for Limerick for the best part of 13 years. Having finished playing several years ago, the school principal now finds himself as the head of the Limerick GAA football development squads, following on from the foundations laid of Paul Kinnerk.
Stephen coaches UL's sigerson team and during covid, himself and his two brothers started a passion project that is now Game Sense coaching. The website is a fantastic resource for GAA coaches with huge amounts of detailed information for coaches of all age groups.
We get into the nuts and bolts of his philosophy on coaching, the overlap between teaching and coaching, lessons learned from Paul Kinnerk and plenty more.
Similar to both of the previous two seasons, I've set up this podcast with a dual purpose in mind, firstly to provide some thoughtful debate for coaches, but I've also linked up with the Lily Daly Foundation, who are a new charity raising funds for the heart ward in Crumlin children's hospital and Ronald McDonald house. For more info, listen to the podcast about the Lily Daly Foundation.
If you found some value in the podcast, it would be great if you could donate any amount, no matter how small to the Lily Daly Foundation through the link here: https://bit.ly/3t9EtfI
