Master Class Hurling to the Core
As always I am blessed to have such great models. For my GAA painting The Master Class Hurling To The Core
Here are Orainn and Rian, having a master class in hurling. Ahead of the All-Ireland hurling final July I wanted to do a painting revolving around the two top teams in the country. The winner,
Limerick GAA showing the loser Kilkenny GAA tactics to master the art of hurling.
It’s not whether you win or lose but how you play the game
When a child wins at sport it is very exhilarating. On the other hand when a child loses losing he or she learns a very valuable lesson . How can the child appreciate the win if he or she haven’t experienced loss ? Did they enjoy the game ? Had they fun playing ? Team sports such as hurling are great. You win or lose as a team so all the joy and pain is feltas a collective unit.
Winning
Winning encourages a child to give it their all, and increases self esteem. Furthermore a win helps them to have a sense of pride. In themselves and their teammates.
A victory in sport can increase self confidence and also help them to think strategically.
Losing is equally Important
Losing can help a child to learn from their mistakes. It also help them to develop their coping strategies, as well as resilience.
Empathy skills are developed from the experience of loss.Furthermore it helps the child to see the situation from another point of view. experiencing loss reached children about self control and how to manage their emotions.
Hurling To The Core
There was fierce excitement in the heartland this summer.
This years All Ireland Hurling Final in July saw Treaty Men take home the McCarthy Cup for a historic third time in a row. Well done to Limerick on their a great win.
Hard luck to the Cats on their two point loss. Better luck next year.
