Most Gaelic footballers — even at the top level — are still
heavily one-sided. In this fascinating episode, Karol Dillon
breaks down the science and psychology behind laterality, the gap
between drills and decisions, and how to truly develop more
two-sided players.

We explore:

Why elite players still avoid their weaker side under
pressure

How cross-lateral athletes like David Clifford (e.g. left
foot/right hand) have an advantage

Why coaching for two-footedness must start before the ball is
introduced

How pressure and fatigue force players back to their dominant
side

The overlooked role of parents and informal practice

Why coaching the “weaker side” needs a complete rethink

Tactical consequences of having too many right-footed players
