This week we were joined by Eoin Clarkin. Eoin is currently balancing two roles as S&C for Arsenal Senior Women's team and The Irish U21 men's team. He is able to draw on a wealth of experience from Dundalk FC, UCD, Kilmacud Crokes and his work in the private sector.

We discussed the importance of communication and planning for International camps as he has seen it from both aspects. We looked at cultural differences between teams and sport while also discussing some of the physical and psychological considerations when working with female athletes.

Towards the end we delved into some interesting points around how we balance our knowledge of the technical/tactical aspect of the game with our physical responsibilities.
