The GPA Rookie Camp series for 2024 is set to connect, support, and educate players as they transition into senior inter-county level. This year, the Rookie Camps will be held as one-day events across four different locations in the country, one in each province. On December 9th, 2023, the Rookie Camp, Day 1 will take place at the Crowne Plaza Belfast. Following that, on January 13th, 2024, the Rookie Camp, Day 2 will be held at Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork. On January 19th, 2024, Day 3 of the Rookie Camp will be hosted at the Radisson Blu in Dublin (airport). Lastly, on January 20th, 2024, Day 4 will take place at the Sligo Park Hotel.
The Rookie Camps will cover various themes at each event. In Belfast, the focus will be on resilience and optimism, and in Cork, smart money habits will be discussed. The Dublin event will tackle the topic of social media habits and traps, while the final camp in Sligo will delve into the importance of self-awareness and journaling. These camps not only provide valuable insights but also include player panel discussions where inter-county athletes share their challenges, opportunities, and experiences as rookies. Attendees will gain practical advice and practices to apply in their own journeys.
Participants will have the opportunity to meet fellow players who are also balancing studies, work, and their athletic career. Expert speakers will impart skills and tools to help individuals excel on and off the pitch. Additionally, attendees will learn about the bespoke BEO360 program and have the chance to meet partners from various industries. GPA staff members will be present to discuss the services available to participants and potential GPA members. Each attendee will receive a GPA goodie bag, and breakfast, as well as teas and coffees, will be provided throughout the day.
Join the GPA Rookie Camps 23/24 to enhance your skills, connect with like-minded individuals, and embark on your personal journey. We look forward to welcoming you to the association!
