O'Neill's Ulster GAA Coaching & Games Conference 2017
The 14th O'Neill's Ulster GAA Coaching & Games Development Conference will take place on Saturday 18th November 2016 in Jackson’s Hotel, Ballybofey, Co. Donegal.
The theme of this year's conference will focus on the ‘Development of the Person and the Player – Warriors and Winners’
The initial workshops will look at creating the right structures for players to develop. Presenters will highlight skills to enhance players at academy squad level, the key relationship building required to motivate and grow players and also the stresses and strains experienced by players, which may affect their mental wellbeing.
The afternoon sessions will be focused on keynote addresses by a number of coaches, who have demonstrated vast experience of developing teams and individuals to perform at the highest levels.
The delegate cost of £30/€35 includes attendance at the conference and lunch. Delegates who pre-book through the Eventbrite website will also receive a gift from our sponsors O'Neill's Sportswear.
