Best of luck to the Irish Boxers at the world championships in Chicago

Alan Swanton from the NCTC has travelled with the Irish Boxing Squad to provide a video analysis service for the boxing squad.  

Gary Keegan (High Performance Director) in interview with  Brendan Mooney (Irish Examiner) annonced himself very pleased with the video-analysis service. 

"It took us two-and-a-half years to decide what we wanted,” Keegan pointed out. “Obviously we had to begin with the physical side of things, then psychology and then nutrition.

“Once those people were in place, we looked at performance analysis, which is another vital part of a boxer’s preparation.

“Take Matvey Kofohov, for example. We know he is a southpaw with a big left hand. From the analysis of his performance, however, we will be able to determine how many times he throws the left, when he throws it, how many times he feints before he throws it, how many times he feints before he attacks — so that our boxer, should they meet, will be ready. And similarly, we can analyse the performances of our own boxers.”
