Merging Physical Performance With Skill Acquisition | Stephen Casey

Free Youth Athletic Development Programme + 5-Day Email Course: https://fhs-performance.kit.com/a441db6d48Weekly Coaching Email List: https://fhs-performance.kit.com/4d8709e773How do we combine strength, speed, skill, and decision-making in a way that actually transfers to the game? In this episode, I chat with Stephen Casey, an S&C coach and skill acquisition practitioner working across GAA and rugby, to explore the messy reality of performance.We discuss:• Why siloed training often fails to improve match performance• Agility as a decision-making challenge, not a cone drill• When strength work improves kicking… and when it won’t• Using constraints to improve skill, agility & game understanding• Why racing & chasing develops speed better than most drills• KPIs (MAS, CMJ, 0–10m, GPS) — useful or misleading?• How to design games that develop physical, technical & tactical qualities• The importance of individualising training instead of chasing generic numbersA brilliant episode for any coach trying to blend S&C, skill acquisition and game-based coaching into one coherent model.
