John McNamara: Championship minutes, expressing yourself and being present

Our guest this week is current Tipperary Minor football manager, John McNamara. John chats to host Fergal about how critical the Minor grade is for developing successful Senior teams, the importance of getting high-intensity championship minutes, and the difficulty with competing during the Covid-19 pandemic. McNamara also outlines his own coaching philosophy which is centred around the player as a person, and creating an enjoyable atmosphere for young athletes so they can bring self-confidence through to every aspect of their lives. Every Tuesday well known Irish stars will share memories from their early sporting careers and reflect on the defining moments from playing Minor and how that shaped them both on and off the pitch. For more information on the Electric Ireland Camogie Minor Championships got to https://www.electricireland.ie/camogie-minor-championships. For more information on the Electric Ireland GAA Minor Championships go to https://www.electricireland.ie/gaa-minor-championships. Produced and hosted by Fergal O’Keeffe at https://lume.ie #ThisIsMajor Hosted on Acast.
