Head of Sport, Leisure & Childhood Studies at MTU Cork, Cian O'Neill, joins Michael on this week's edition of the Indo GAA podcast - exploring the “all consuming” nature of elite level coaching and management in gaelic games, and discussing an ongoing study in relation to the topic.
He also dives into what it's like to work alongside Jack O'Connor in the Kerry backroom team, how you coach a top player like David Clifford and why teams can’t just “copy and paste” tactics when it comes to the new rules.

What it’s really like to be a GAA coach | Behind the scenes insights from 20 years on the line | Cian O'Neill

Fresh off the news that Donegal and Kerry face no further sanctions or suspensions after Saturday’s clash, Pat Spillane & Dick Clerkin join Michael for a high-paced football episode.
The siege mentality from Jim McGuinness, Kerry’s missing talent and the reaction to the sanction news are all on the menu for the rematch of last year’s All-Ireland final.
Elsewhere, Tyrone defeat Roscommon and Cork rebound in what is turning out to be a wide-open championship. Pat then remembers his old opponent and team-mate Frank McGuigan
Plus: Sean Fitzgerald goes to Love Island - what do we think?

Westmeath dreamland, Dublin disarray | Armagh end Ulster drought | Provincial football has its mojo back 🏐

Pat Spillane and Dick Clerkin join Michael after another stellar provincial final weekend that saw Monaghan’s warriors come from the dead to force extra-time with Armagh, where Kieran McGeeney’s men came out on top.
First, the lads run the rule over the Leinster final where Westmeath’s confidence shone through against a Dublin who are lacking supporters, scorers and a clear tactical vision.
