[QUOTE="lucky number 7, post: 497503, member: 39747"] As a player being from the correct school is a big thing , there was a point where I was contemplating going to blackrock for my senior cycle in order to develop more as a player , not to say I'd have gotten anywhere but the standard of coaching and conditioning of players is a thousand times what we got in the country school I went to. I'd also say when in the system unless you're a really outstanding player you will be pipped for your place on the team by someone from a School with a better name. However my club side back home really is completely restructuring itself , the emphasis unlike many other clubs is to bring all the youth players up to the Firsts , seconds or third string teams , indeed this year there is talk of a form of Academy for the top 19's players whereby they are to train 1 night a week with the first team players and have free access to the club gym. It's no surprise with all this work that we got promoted last season and are confident of going up again this coming year. Coaching of a high caliber is the most important thing in a club in my opinion [/QUOTE]
