We were very pleased with the feedback from our last cycle of mentorship courses, please see some testimonials below.
“As a coach, I jumped at the opportunity to get involved with a coaching course in NADA and have found it to be a very pleasant and enlightening experience. This course has helped me both understand the reason behind a lot of the things I have been doing but it has also given me a framework and tools to enhance that knowledge. It has also given me the confidence to know exactly how/when/why I should be tackling different aspects of training teams and how to improve their performance in a safe and controlled manner.” ….Barry Bonar, Co Louth (Adult Mentorship Programme)
‘”I found the course interactive and very informative. I feel more confident when it comes to assessing players and giving a player a program to work on. It also has given me a variety of new activities/exercises to use in my warm ups. The course has good discussion topics and the NADA team help you throughout the program to grow and develop as a coach” ….Darren McGee, Dublin (Youth Mentorship Programme)
“Overall I found it a very useful and enjoyable experience. NADA staff were very professional and really knew their stuff. They were very friendly and always ready to give advice. They explained everything in simple English and their demonstrations were excellent. It certainly gives an insight into what is required to prepare players for the modern game. “… Donal Ryan, Dublin (Youth Mentorship Programme)
