Did something broadly similar for our Juniors last year.
Quite easy to implement and monitor.
Although we couldn't field for a number of games, it definitely set a marker for how serious we were.
Leaving out the 'without management approval' next year, though. 
Head would be wrecked with whatsapps 20 minutes before matches with lads asking to go travelling or to family weddings or to the vet with shitey-arse excuses.
We're going all out next year...

Whatever about other sports that can take plenty out of players how would Golf be taxing?

A spouse with a shitey-arse, perhaps?

This is pure shite! You need to set standards and create goals and what's the plans for the years, expectations and do on, no drinking? Wise up, no holidays unless sanctioned by management? More bollocks no playing other sports? Holy f**k!

I'm as passionate as the next manager and expect the players to put in the same effort as I'd expect them to do, but this is not a professional sport.

We need to trust the players

[Eire90]

how do they monitor drinking do they send goons around to pubs or gawk into peoples windows

Some overpaid manager trying to justify his existence and cost. The problem with all these things is it usually one of your better player(s) who break the rules. It's never number 27 on the panel. He turns up and togs out every week. You wish he would disappear as he's constantly f**king up drills and dropping balls.

insane the way club GAA players are being expected to act as professional, in fact id argue worse than professional. look at Rugby and soccer, lads go for a drink after the game and its no issue sure weren't the Ireland Rugby team having pints during the World Cup. If you've a game on sat or sun, not 1 issue lads going for a few pints after then running it off in training the next week. Need to stop treating players like children.

This. They've probably read some shite by an American guru. He'll be putting Any Given Sunday quotes up in the changing rooms.

[Wildweasel74]

Ah amateur sport they say!!

[Eire90]

but how do they know if someone has a drink do they have spies out and about a bit like east germany.

And prob a mercenary manager on the take... Can't imagine a clubman who's known these players since they were kids putting something like this together (if true of course)
