Wed 06 Jun 2009Helping to get Gaelic footballers up to speed
SPORTING PASSIONS PAUL McKEE:ATHLETICS WAS always my first choice. I played for St Paul’s for a couple of months and on the school football team as well, but from a young age I wanted to be the next Carl Lewis or Seb Coe.
I did enjoy the team atmosphere but nowadays I know I can help Gaelic footballers develop into athletes. This season I have been coaching Lámh Dearg, a team from Belfast close to where I live. I’m coaching them about improvements in technique, speed and specific match fitness.
