What do you guys think of these articles?

I had a quick trapse through it and was interested in his stats on the jab lift as being the preferred choice of ground possession or something similar based on the four teams in the AI semi finals of 2005. I wonder did he go any further into the analysis of the jab lift in terms of one hand as opposed to two hands as it is my observations that the one had is used more often however a lot of coaches don't actually coach the one handed lift due to the inherent risks of missing the lift.

IMO it should be coached like every other skill.

Hmm  now that would be a good question worth answering,  I think your right it should be coached  but I can't see its value if you have a man marking you its too easily flicked off, and if your aiming to  play at the highest level I can't imagine you would be marked lightly.

I liked the goal achieving article, it  kind of set a light bulb of in my head when he linked them from 1 month to 1 year to 3years  to BHAG.

IMO if you want to maintain a sprint and lift the ball at the same time then you must execute the one handed jab lift. In a lot if instances the body position and use of the catching arm are used to shield the ball from being flicked away, another skill that needs coached.

I'd love to see the stats on the likes of Henry Shefflin and Tommy Walsh as from my observations they extensively use the one handed lift. The only man I can think off who used the two handed lift almost all of the time was DJ Carey, hardly a bad one either.

Aye you only see the bits on tv where they lift the ball in open space , its nearly impossible to do under good pressure i believe therefore its pointless coaching, besides the kids do it themselves why not coach them something more  useful.

Most kids wouldn't have the wrist strength under 14 anyway to carry out the one handed lift anyway, but I wasn't  talking about kids.

We'll beg to differ on the one handed lift as I've seen it done numerous times under 'good pressure'.
