With GAA pre-season back in full swing for nearly every player around the country, every club is still in the phase of 'going fierce well'. To keep that momentum up throughout the year it's as much about what is done away from the pitch as what's done on it.
Every extra gym session a player can squeeze in is a big benefit but it's an even better when you have a little a guidance. That's where All-Ireland winners Ashling Thompson and Joe Canning come in.
