Conán has assembled a stellar team of coaching minds for this St Patrick’s Day special. All-Ireland winner & camogie coach Sarah O’Donovan joins him in studio, as does long-time soccer & GAA coach Shane Keegan, and Leitrim Senior Football manager Steven Poacher, all of whom give their insights into the evolving world of coaching. Contact time, ways to increase female participation, and the importance of mental resilience are all on the menu (...which also includes stew and curry!) As our regular listeners will know by now, we always like to bring you behind the production scenes here on the Indo Sport podcast! So, for full disclosure, rather than dragging our guests away from their St Patrick’s Day revelry, we asked them to pop in last week to put this together. As such, one thing not covered in our original recording was the news which emanated from Leitrim GAA over the weekend. With that in mind – and as you'll hear – Steven rejoined Conan for the beginning of today's episode, to give his perspective on the unprecedented forfeiture of yesterday's scheduled match v Fermanagh, & the circumstances behind it ??
