Rob Mulcahy is a native of Kerry but has been the head of athlete development with Clare GAA for nearly 7 years. Initially, he worked under long-serving Clare senior football manager Colm Collins as a strength and conditioning coach, with his time now more focused on developing the physical characteristics of the young players within the county.

Rob talks about the 'syllabus' they use within Clare GAA, their use of bio-banding at development squad level, the benefits of kids playing multiple sports, reasons for the drop-out and much more. 

Similar to both of the previous two seasons, I've set up this podcast with a dual purpose in mind, firstly to provide some thoughtful debate for coaches, but I've also linked up with the Lily Daly Foundation, who are a new charity raising funds for the heart ward in Crumlin children's hospital and Ronald McDonald house. For more info, listen to the podcast about the Lily Daly Foundation.

If you found some value in the podcast, it would be great if you could donate any amount, no matter how small to the Lily Daly Foundation through the link here: https://bit.ly/3t9EtfI
