Hi my name is Gary Sexton and im a 3rd year student in LIT Thurles. I am a 3rd year Strength and Conditioning student and am thoroughly enjoying the course. Some of the modules that we are currently covering on the course are Fitness and Technology coaching, Advanced functional screening, Advanced Anatomy & Physiology and a social media class.
The reason that I chose this course was because I wanted to be involved in sport at all levels whether it be playing or coaching. I have played GAA with my home club Kilmurry Ibrickane at senior level and I also helped out coaching within the club at underage level. I had to stop playing this past year due to a back injury which I am currently working on getting right. I was brought on as a selector and trainer with our minor club team in 2014 who made it all the way to a minor A final, but unfortunately came up short in the final.
It is my main goal to one day coach at the highest level whether it be with amateur players in coaching with an inter county GAA or soccer team, or on a national level working with professional athletes.
