Why Injuries Happen & Psychology in Modern GAA Management - The Backdoor Cut Podcast #018
This week we dive into the physical and mental challenges of intercounty GAA players, combining personal experiences with discussions on injury management, the role of sports psychology, and the impact of coaching philosophies. We give our take on both the Ulster & Leinster Finals.
We also examine the broader issues within GAA, such as game accessibility and fan engagement, emphasizing the need for better broadcast strategies and social media access.
Additionally, we explore the idea of 'obsession' in sports, debating whether total and complete commitment is absolutely necessary or a more balanced approach can also lead to success.
