SEAMUS NORRIS GAA Coaching CV

Jamestown Piltown Co. Kilkenny Mobile: 087-9230283 Email; [email protected] Website: www.snorris.ie

I have been involved in sport and the GAA for over 45 years as a player, administrator, coach and manager. I have played Hurling and Gaelic Football in a playing career lasting over 24 years. I managed my first GAA team when I was 17, a minor Gaelic Football team that won the Coolagh Tournament. I have coached/managed Hurling, Gaelic Football, Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie for both juveniles and adults at club and all except Camogie at juvenile inter-county level. I have also managed juvenile and adult soccer teams.

I am a Business Analyst by profession which requires the fundamental skills necessary for team management/coaching. From 1980 to 1982, I completed a two-year course in International athlete coaching at WRTC. I completed the GAA Foundation Coaching Course in 2003 and in 2008 I completed the Level One Coaching Course. I have done numerous SAQ, Core stability and player welfare courses/workshops and regularly attend many coaching conferences including the GAA National Coaching Conference. I am currently carrying out personal studies in Sport psychology. I am currently GAA Garda vetted.

I am organised, methodical, imaginative and knowledgeable and building on experiences year on year.

Below are my GAA experience and roles with the relevant coaching and team management roles highlighted.
