This episode features guest Kevin Mulcahy from Cork, Ireland, who is an S&C coach with experience coaching Gaelic Football and Hurling. 

The episode explores... 

• The historical context of these sports and their contemporary changes, including rule standardisation and the impact of lighter balls on game dynamics.
• Challenges in youth sports development, such as facility access and the influence of successful teams on community participation. 
• How ideas from ecological dynamics are becoming more prevalent across Irish sport and how that is translating to elite success as well as a growth in participation. 
• Kevin shares insights into integrating human movement, strength, and conditioning into Gaelic football coaching and fostering leadership within teams.
• We explore design principles for training and practice - how Kevin integrates principles of human movement with principles of team dynamics and principles of invasion sports. 
• We discuss how action capacities differ from action capabilities and also look into 'interaction capacities and capabilities'. 

Hope you enjoy.
