About me
I play junior club hurling on the Clare coast, which means a lot of wet grass, a lot of wind and a pitch that is more puddle than pitch from November. I have a day job and a young family, so my training fits around both, usually in the dark.
Each Monday there is one idea: a drill off a stone wall, how I tape a grip so it holds in the rain, what I do on the Tuesday after a heavy match. Some of it works and some does not, and I say which. I write for players who have a hurley, a ball and not much time.
