MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I’m Kevin,

I am a certified Strength and Conditioning coach and founder of Humans of Gaelic Games.

I worked as a GAA correspondent in the national media with The42 for seven years and in 2022 I wrote my first book ‘Dooley: A Family Memoir’ with the famous Offaly hurling family, before transitioning into full-time coaching.

I’ve been coaching for over five years and my business now has over 200,000 followers across our social media channels.

I also host the Humans of Gaelic podcast where I interview players and coaches on topics related to the human side of elite performance in the GAA.

As well as online coaching I currently work as GAA S&C coach with the Tullamore senior footballers in Offaly and St Oliver Plunkett’s Eoghan Ruadh minor footballers and hurlers in Dublin.

I’ve won three Offaly SFC titles with my home club Tullamore and I’ve also played football in Sydney, Chicago, New York and Glasgow.

I started my journey into S&C coaching out of a personal need to enhance my own performance on the pitch. 

For years, I struggled to find the right approach in the gym that would translate to better athleticism on the field.

As I learned and applied the correct methods to become leaner, faster and more powerful, I realised how much misinformation and lack of tailored guidance exists for GAA players striving to become better athletes.

Today, my coaching philosophy is built on a foundation of making athletes leaner and more explosive through meticulously designed speed, power, strength and conditioning training programmes that I’ve refined over the years.

THE BODYWEIGHT TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM IS A SHORTCUT

Before I discovered the power of bodyweight basics that I’m about to reveal in this course, I was an average guy who tried to become strong and healthy, but conventional fitness and weightlifting left me without progress and the lack of whole-body strength even caused me shoulder pain.

I felt stuck, and at the same time, I was seeing these BIG and SHREDDED guys on social media living cool lives…

So I spent the next 6 years obsessively gathering knowledge about {{how to put on lean muscle as fast as possible}} from top natural athletes. I got two coach certifications and even learned from a world champion street workout coach.

I used this knowledge to create a training system that helped me go from weak and unconfident to strong and shredded fast.

In this course, I’m going to reveal how you can become strong and shredded while only doing 3 sessions per week

I promise you, I’m not special. I’m an ordinary guy with mediocre genetics at best.

You see, genetics doesn’t even matter that much if you’re using the right system. The Bodyweight Transformation method allows everyone to become a strong and shredded beast!

If I could do it, you can do it too!

I want to transform my body NOW!

Kevin is a top-class PT who genuinely cares about your progress. I lost fat, gained strength, and rebuilt confidence in the gym while recovering from a long-term injury. Highly recommend for anyone prepping for championship, next season, or returning from injury.

Daniel

Kevin was fantastic throughout the 8 weeks. The physical changes were expected, but the biggest impact was the mental shift—I’ve found consistency in my training and now hold myself accountable like never before. Highly recommend!

Aidan

I really enjoyed this programme—it helped me hit my personal performance goals in the gym and on the pitch while staying fresh for team sessions. Perfect for in-season players. Highly recommend Kevin for anyone serious about improving both mentally and physically.

I can’t recommend Kevin enough. His personalised workouts offer great variety—full body, legs, and arms. I noticed changes after just 4 weeks and saw a big transformation by week 8, feeling stronger than ever. He’s always quick to respond and provides brilliant value for money.

Caroline

Since signing up with Kevin two months ago, I’ve seen major improvements—dropping from 90kg to 84kg, gaining strength in my lifts, and feeling fitter overall. My confidence has grown, my clothes fit better, and I’ve noticed real changes in my physique. My diet has improved while still allowing me to enjoy food, and I feel physically stronger and more prepared for club football.

Cailum

I really enjoyed this programme as it showed me what it takes to train at the top level. The gym sessions were always fresh, and for the first time, I was consistently working on my speed each week—already seeing the benefits on the pitch. It’s given me more confidence and noticeably improved my game. I’d highly recommend it to any GAA player looking to take their training to the next level.

Charlie

A really positive experience over the past few months. Everything was clearly laid out, and Kevin was always quick to answer any questions. Over the 12 weeks, I felt myself getting stronger and faster while enjoying the variety in sessions. It was also great to be able to check in with Kevin via text or Zoom whenever needed—he was always helpful and accommodating.

Ruairi

Working with Kevin was a game-changer. His tailored programme, including nutrition, showed me where I was going wrong and gave me the tools to reach my goals. Every session was enjoyable, and his communication made the process seamless. I’ve already recommended him to others—just wish I had started sooner!

DJ

Kevin has been top class to work with—always quick to answer any questions with all the information needed. My strength has increased massively, and I’ve seen a real improvement in my speed, with others even noticing the difference. Thanks to Kevin’s coaching, I’m heading into pre-season in the best shape I’ve ever been and excited for what’s ahead.

Eoin

The sessions were easy to follow and support was there whenever you needed it. The sessions were easy to complete and every exercise was sport- focused. I’ve became a lot more powerful and my lifts have improved massively. Im now in better shape going into the season than I’ve ever been. A brilliant experience.

Michael

Kevin’s training has been top-class—challenging but enjoyable, with real progress every session. After an 8-week injury, his programme was key to regaining top fitness and building consistency. The structured plan kept me on track, and his meal plan helped me maintain a healthy diet. Every session, whether on the field or in the gym, improved my power, speed, fitness, and strength.

Sessions were enjoyable whilst challenging and I have seen great results over the past few weeks. I would highly recommend Kevin to all! Money well spent.

Really enjoyed the sessions given by Kevin was thoroughly enjoyable throughout. Not only training but the education side of things I found to be really valuable. Being able to have a coach to bounce ideas off was a great help. Would recommend to anyone considering it.

Tarlach

I really enjoyed the structure of the session along with the variety of exercises in the gym and on the pitch. Over the course of the 8 weeks, I’ve developed significant full body strength and sharpness and feel much more athletic as a result. I would highly recommend working with Kevin.

Kevin’s off-season programme was fully tailored to my lifestyle, with tough but effective sessions. Regular check-ins kept me motivated, and the app made tracking easy.
