Is player "burn out" a real problem or just the latest fad?

Individual training plans per player factoring in their wider team committments anyone?

young fella, I take it the hurler you were talking about was my clubmate?? He was playing serious amount of Hurling, getting no rest & all the managers wanted him to play for them.

As well as the physical side of it, there's the mental aspect of it as well, a young player who plays a couple of matches a week as well as 2 or 3 nights training will become scunnered. Far too much, the GAA need to watch this as they will lose a lot more young players
