How do you condition players so they’re fit enough for the game — without leaving them cooked, flat, or under-recovered?

In this episode, I’m joined by Ciaran Boyle, S&C coach with Tipperary Senior Camogie, to discuss a more individualised approach to conditioning using speed-endurance profiling and micro-dosing speed.

We cover:

  • Why one-size-fits-all conditioning often fails

  • Speed-based, endurance-based and hybrid player profiles

  • MAS, Max Sprint Speed and Anaerobic Speed Reserve explained simply

  • Why two players with the same MAS can respond very differently

  • How to manage different profiles within the same squad

  • Micro-dosing speed to maintain performance in-season

  • Straight-line vs curved sprinting and progression

  • Managing load, recovery and congested schedules

A practical conversation for GAA, Camogie and LGFA coaches looking to improve fitness while keeping players healthy and available.
