Strategy, Structure and Systems Planning and Preparation for a County Senior Team
Planning: Quality knowledge and understanding is essential when putting together a backroom team Agreement from the backroom team on a strategic plan on the way forward Build a sound and durable structure that will withstand the challenges of the year/s ahead

What is Periodisation? Periodisation is planned long-term variation of the volume and intensity of training to prevent overtraining and promote optimal performance at the desired time.
Defining Volume and Intensity Volume- amount of work performed per exercise, per day, per month (sets x reps) Intensity- the power output of the exercise (power = work/time)
Estimating Volume and Intensity • Training intensity- Average level of exercise intensity, per week, per month • Exercise intensity- Monitored by calculating the relative intensity (% of maximum exertion) • Training volume- estimated by volume load • Exercise volume- estimated by average % of exercise exertion
Periodisation Cycles Macrocycle -long period of time, one year Mesocycle - medium length of time, several weeks to several months Microcycle- short length of time, one or more weeks
KEY POINT Periodisation involves shifting training priorities from non-sport-specific activities of high volume and low intensity to sport-specific activities of low volume and high intensity over a period of many weeks to prevent overtraining and optimise performance.
Matveyev’s Model of Periodisation: Appropriate for Novice Athletes
Modifications of Matveyev’s Model of Periodisation; for Gaelic Games Players
Periodisation Periods • Preparatory- • Transition- • Competition- • Maintenance- • Peaking • Active rest-
Transition Phase Modification to Matveyev’s original periodisation model, break between high volume training and high intensity training
Competition Period In Gaelic Games with long season, may last 9 months Peaking- very high intensity and very low volume Maintenance- moderate intensity (80-85% max) and moderate volume (2-3 sets, 6-8 reps)
Active Rest Any time during the training year Restoration Remain physically active Lasts 1-4 weeks Mental and physical break from sport
Coaches duties • Planning and monitoring gym sessions • Match analysis-video review • Planning pitch sessions based on analysis • Analysis feedback to players • Management planning match strategy and systems • Coaching players through planned strategy • Individual skill coaching and analysis • Monitoring player hydration and wellness • Mentoring players when necessary • Logistics re: game day preparation
Lessons Learnt • Progress was made • Better understanding of our strengths and weaknesses as a management team • Better understanding of the players and their strengths and weaknesses • Experience of playing at a higher level • You have to perform
