Cork GAA will host a youth health forum as a first step in tackling the pressure on development squad players. He explained: “We do an excellent job in coaching our young players and teaching them the skills of the game, but I believe we spend too much time concentrating on skills. “In my job with the Cork County Board, I am getting a lot of complaints from parents about the pressure we are putting on young players. “We need to develop a greater understanding of the issues young players are dealing with away from the pitch and how we can help them. “One of the objectives of this forum is to equip young players for their journey to becoming an inter-county player.
