Nadine

Off the Ball GAA and the most important thing for Ireland is not necessarily money it's the space to breathe as a game because there are brilliant volunteers all over Ireland trying to promote the game but you can't promote the game if you haven't got the time to play it join in the obsession subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join

It's such a community.

It's not coming up to train with your team.

It's coming up to train with your family.

Like, it's just, it's beautiful here.

Yeah, so I'm Nadine and I am secretary for the female side of the club.

That's my role.

And do you play Nadine or do you coach?

I play and I help out with under 13 girls, the team that are actually playing there behind us.

Yeah, so I seen the email come through and then Mick Finn, who's a massive advocate for our club, for the female side, sent the email out and I got on to Julie and I said, will we go in?

And yeah, went in together and it was a brilliant programme.

Yeah, to be honest, just going in to get extra knowledge.

But when I went in, I wasn't expecting to learn a lot that I would put into my own match days.

I thought I was like, oh, I'll get loads for the under-13s.

And then it was so much that I learned for me on game days.

Oh, no way, like what?

Even just the times you eat before a match, I would have thought it was a lot easier.

closer to a game and then they had this timetable where it was spread out and I was like wow or like your water intake anything there was just so much information that I learned for me and them it was a great program

Yeah, definitely a big difference.

And when Julie, Melissa and Emma did that Elevate You programme as well to do the pilot programme, there's been a massive difference.
