Dublin Coaching & Skills Clinic

Sion "Brummie" Scone tells us about how the ESC in Dublin went down.

Recently, Daniel "Colonel" Furnell and I headed to Dublin to work with the next generation of Irish players and coaches. Following my interview with Mark Earley on Ultimate Interviews, I was approached by David Rickard, President of the Irish Flying Disc Association (IFDA), in March with the idea of running a version of the Elite Skills Clinic in Ireland at some point.
