Discipline is a big buzz word you hear bandied about in most sporting codes. The number of scoreable frees they concede to the opposition is usually the barometer of their discipline. But starting and finishing with 15 players should be the very baseline requirement for good discipline in Gaelic games. And yet, therein lies the colossal contradiction for many GAA players; the actual competitive game itself is where they show the least amount of discipline and self-control in their lives. Players must be challenged to show the same level of restrained discipline in the competitive game environment as they do in every other part of their life.
