GPA Partners

Gaelic Players Association (GPA) statement on its partnership with Sports Physio & Performance to provide Kits to help reduce players’ injury risk and enhance performance & recovery

The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) has delivered recovery packs to its members nationwide to help them reduce injury risk, and support pre-game preparation and post-game recovery.

Following recent research undertaken by the ESRI, highlighting the extent of time constraints faced by players thus limiting the time for recovery and increasing the risk of injury, this initiative aims to support players with their injury prevention and recovery strategies. 

Under the stewardship of their Player Safety and Welfare Group, which is chaired by former Limerick footballer Dr. Jim O’Donovan, the GPA, has teamed up with Co. Tipperary-based Sports Physio & Performance to provide the packs for all players to use at home or at training to aid with activation, mobilisation and core strengthening. 

The project is part of a wider focus on player welfare by the GPA underpinned by a number of key research projects in the areas of physical and emotional health, and the wellbeing of inter county players aimed at raising the standards of the playing and training environment. 

Paul Flynn, CEO at the GPA said “Player welfare is one of our three core pillars [player welfare, development, and representation] and we are delighted to team up with Sports Physio & Performance to assist our members with their recovery protocols. This is a great initiative as it involves players in their own injury prevention and recovery. The benefits of using the tools in the packs are backed by solid research and the packs will play a big part in recovery and performance for teams throughout the rest of the season.”

Matt Carr, Director of Sports Physio & Performance said: “We are delighted to partner with the GPA on this Recovery Project and to see at first hand the importance the GPA places on Player Welfare. It’s very satisfying to know that all GPA members will have a Sports Performance Kit and that it helps with some of the concerns raised in the recent ESRI report. Our Sports Performance Kit is designed to aid in Recovery, Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation”.

Matthew O’Hanlon, current Wexford hurler said “As an inter-county player, it can often be challenging to manage my time effectively between my playing and work commitments and finding appropriate time for rest and recovery. It is great that the GPA has provided all players with a practical means to help with pre-game prep and post-game recovery. It’s great to see the GPA taking a keen interest in our physical welfare.”

Irish Cricket

‘Matt and the team at Sport Physio have become an integral part of the Science and Medicine team at Cricket Ireland. In the short few years I have been fortunate to lead the medical services at CI, Matt has been there throughout, supporting us with supplying not only Physiotherapy consumables, but also our strength and conditioning and sport science departments have benefitted from the very wide range of equipment and stock that they can supply. This has helped us train and fitness test both our Men’s and Women’s national squads as well as our Ireland Wolves team and national academies. The team have also been extremely accommodating by sourcing and providing items that they may not have sold in the past or items that are specific to our sport which allows us the ease of only having to deal with one company that we have the highest confidence in. 

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Sportsphysio were also invaluable in getting us back to training and playing safely by providing all of our hygiene equipment, temperature checking equipment and signage for our High Performance Centre in Dublin and our 2 performance hubs in Northern Ireland. Matt also assisted in putting together Home exercises packs in order to allow all of our players to get the most of their training whilst in lockdown. Due to success of this, sportsphyio were Cricket Ireland’s top recommend company for all cricket clubs in Ireland to source and procure their COVID-19 safety packs which allowed them return to playing the sport they love. 

I’m very much looking forward to continuing our strong relationship with Matt and the team.’

'The packs really helped in the sense that one of our on going goals to get our athletes taking onus for their own physical preparation when not on court. We want there to be a more prevalent culture of off-court physical prep within Irish basketball. Through a number of educational sessions around recovery & mobility many of our athletes became very familiar with what they needed to do plus they had their own pack to use when at home. .'
