The annual Performance Analysis Community of Practice day will take place in SETU Carlow on Saturday, November 9.
Around 100 performance analysts from across the country will come together to share, learn, collaborate on all things Performance Analysis, and listen to presentations from some leaders in their field such as Kevin McGuigan, Evan Talty, Brian Fitzpatrick, Colm Nally, and Brian McClellan.

Led by experts such as Denise Martin and Colm Clear, the Performance Analysis Community has evolved significantly over the last decade.
So too has the Performance Analysis Accreditation pathway with Introduction to PA Courses available online over four evenings and provincial accreditation workshops taking place on an annual basis.
In 2022, a groundbreaking document, the Gaelic Games Performance Analysis Guide for Good Practice produced by the Performance Analysis sub-group of the Gaelic Games Sports Science Working Group.
It highlights the six areas in which performance analysis can support coaches and players, shines a light on exactly what performance analysts do, details how individuals and teams can best work effectively with a performance analyst, and how to find a quality assured Gaelic games performance analyst.
