Dr. Phil Kearney - Relative Age, Maturation & Early Specialisation

In this episode we are joined by Dr. Phil Kearney Associate Professor at the University of Limerick, co-founder of Movement Skill Acquisition Ireland, and Skill Acquisition Lead on Gaelic Games Sport Science working group, and the Irish representative of the Teaching Games for Understanding specialist interest group.

During this conversation Phil shares some great insights on:

• The effects of relative age and maturation in youth sport
• Practical coaching strategies to account for these differences
• The application of corrective adjustment procedures
• Early specialisation vs. multi-sport and the need to dive deeper to understand them
