Dr. Cian O’Neill runs us through a few exercises that will be of great benefit to you and make sure you’re in top form by the time you take to the pitch for some game time.
With a focus on compound exercises that make sure you’re using a lot of the muscle groups and joints that you would be on game day, Dr. O’Neill shows us a few ideas that you can include in your routine.
