Agility is more than just running around cones. In this episode, I chat with Paul Talty — S&C coach and PhD researcher on Change of Direction and Agility in Gaelic Games.

We cover:

• The real difference between change of direction and agility

• Why decision-making and anticipation matter as much as speed

• Key findings from Paul’s research on Gaelic Football

• How coaches can prepare players for sharp cuts, turns and 1v1 battles

Paul has coached with the Mayo Senior Footballers, worked across top GAA clubs, and spent 5 years as Head of Performance with Swim Ireland, travelling to two Olympic Games.

This episode blends science, coaching, and practical takeaways for anyone serious about improving agility in Hurling or Football.
