Coaching Tips

John Morrison Welcome to the online catalogue of coaching related articles kindly provided by John Morrison.  John has made available a number of articles in a series he pens entitled 'A Sporting View'.  The articles are produced on a regular basis and are based on John's observations and views as we progress annually through the GAA calendar.

A selection of the back-dated articles covering many years, and recent editions will be made available and these will provide some very interesting reading to players and coaches at all levels as a new era dawns in Leitrim GAA. Each article deals with a specific theme and offers some thought provoking opinions and advice

Note that John has recently produced an excellent animated games coaching DVD in conjunction with GaelicPerformance.ie. Click here for more info.
