Barry Solan - Arsenal FC first team strength and conditioning coach

Barry Solan is a Mayo man from Ballaghaderreen in the west of Ireland who has found his home as strength and conditioning coach with Arsenal FC's first team for the past 6 years.

 

He's previously worked in rugby and GAA over here, most recently with Mayo.

 

In this episode, Barry shares his vast experience from the various top level coaching environments he's been a part of and gives us a great behind the scenes look at how they operate at the Arsenal training ground.

 

This is a must-listen for coaches of any sport or any age group - there's something in it for everybody.

 

Also, I've set up this podcast with a dual purpose in mind, firstly to provide some thoughtful debate for coaches, but I've also linked up with Temple Street Children's Hospital in Dublin, to try and help raise much needed money for them.

Covid 19 continues to have a hugely negative impact on their ability to raise funds in the ways they normally do, so if you found some value in the podcast, it would be great if you could donate anything, no matter how small to Temple Street Children's Foundation through the link here: https://bit.ly/39857sS
