Amy Gibbons: 3 ACL Tears & Life as a Ladies GAA Player
In this episode, I chat with Amy Gibbons (@ag.fitness__) to unpack some of the biggest challenges facing female athletes in Ladies’ Gaelic Football today.
Amy shares her personal journey through ACL injuries, opening up about the physical and mental battles of rehab and the lessons she learned along the way.
We dive into the issue of under fueling in women’s sport. Why it’s so common, the warning signs to watch for,and how it impacts performance more than most players realise.
We also explore why so many girls drop out of sport, what clubs are getting wrong, and how we can create environments that actually keep girls playing.
From match-day nutrition and training structure to managing anxiety and game-day nerves, this episode is packed with practical advice for players, coaches and parents alike.
Whether you’re a GAA player, coach, or just passionate about women’s sport - this is one you won’t want to miss.
