Sports psychologist for Jimmy Bruen

G1032

Word is that a club in Galway are practising 4 evenings a week for the Jimmy Bruen while also getting help from a sports psychologist.........

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is way way too excessive? It's an amatuer sport and not even top level at that. What next? Physio before and after training/matches?

At Feile na Gael this week 1 of the clubs didn't put their team in for the parade as they thought it would affect their game the next day, another team had a dietician, this is under 14 GAA, do you not think that a game like golf which has a history of money in it would not try everything they could?

What I think is that this kind of thing is excessive and completely unneccessary. It's a Jimmy Bruen match, not the Ryder Cup.

Personally I'd think it's too much, but each to their own, once they don't cheat they can do whatever they want, I think golf is a wonderful simple game where you have a stick and a ball that you have to go into a hole, if someone wants to make it harder or get an upper hand let them at it

It could work, but it could also put unnecessary pressure on the team as the club will have spent all this money on fine-tuning the players, that if it doesn't go their way, they might crack more than any normal team. I think it's OTT but it's the clubs perogative to win and as Clareman said, as long as they don't cheat it's up to them.

Who cares what they do... not really important, let them at it.

If they want to practice 7 days a week and get in the man united backroom staff so be it. For the record yes I do think its OTT but at least the team seems committed to say the least!

I remember Joe Kiernan speaking on the late late, that his Armagh team received all sorts of ridicule when he took the team away on a foreign intensive training camp with good weather on their backs, they were one of the first to do it and GAA is an amatuer sport. Low and behold a year later and they were all at it, fair dues to the club in question thinking outside of the box

Undoubtedly my favourite post that I've read in the week since I discovered this forum.
