In this episode, David conducts a solo podcast to discuss some considerations around speed & agility development for the GAA athlete.

The purpose of this episode is not to dive deep into the research but rather to get you asking questions about your own training or the training you do with your players. After this episode, we would hope that you come away with a different perspective on speed & agility training and pick up some concepts that you can apply instantly to start seeing progress.
