Rob Reacts to... GAA Inter County Footballers Try the NFL Combine | Without Training

[@dougoneill7266]

In fairness. these guys train primarily for resilience and endurance.. Gaelic sports are lung buster games. where NFL is primarily explosive fitness based. Catching is bread n butter to Gaa players.

[@cheiftain732]

The toughest trade is good . The only sport a hurler didnt master was ice hockey

[@revlewisrees9880]

I had immense fun adding my own words to the part where you were talking but all we could hear was the backing music!!

[@RobReacts1]

There was the final montage were their music got copyrighted so i had to swap the music for youtube music haha

[@cheiftain732]

The toughest trade . gaa swap with baseball cricket ice hockey all sports

[@higuk999]

Alot of these exercises are based on explosive power which wouldn't be as relevant in GAA due to it being a continuous sport, so the players likely sacrifice some explosive power for endurance

[@TheGiff7]

That and the ball handling skills that GAA players need to have to move around the pitch quickly and efficiently!

[@RobReacts1]

I think how they did is even more impressive then as its things they arnt even used to!

[@higuk999]

@@RobReacts1 I think the fact that the AFL rectuits amateur players in ireland for their pro league is telling of their athletic level :)

You should react to the MHC Clare vs Limerick 2022 played last hurling provincial final …. Best ever final for years … constant ebb and flow from both sides in a thriller to the end

[@shanemolloy4731]

I like your gaa reactions . Therse a show its on here : the toughest trade . They swap with ice hokey cricket baseball . The baseballers were amazed tbe hurler threw his mit away and hand catches it 😂

[@rittherugger160]

This reminded me of what it was like being a 'rugger' a few decades back. All the 'will' to get better and none of the money to get it done.

[@RobReacts1]

ahah that sounds spot on. Money is what makes a sport global.

[@stumoo4049]

I'd be curious to see the NFL guys play hurling

[@RobReacts1]

I recon it would be too tough for them!

[@STHFGDBY]

I doubt that was 120 kg's on the bench, probably 120 lbs. Americans haven't gone metric as far as I know. So that's about 50 kg's. Still good reps for 50 kg's if you are not a regular bench presser. But many of these lads are probably gym users, so bench pressing wouldn't be unfamiliar to them.

[@cheiftain732]

Croker has a great little indoor pitch

Amateurism is a funny concept... rugby union claimed itself to be amateur for over a century, however, “payments” were made by other means such as you’d get a “job” in a bar or become a lawyer or doctor for a connected firm or practice. It was the social connections that mattered for this amateurism ... the same goes for GAA. The Gaelic Footballers are the superstars of their local communities

[@RobReacts1]

Its amazing how a sport like this is only popular in its country, and a small country it is, but the crowds these matches get are insane!

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@RobReacts1 so true!! I’m an American and I was only made aware of the GAA in 2001 when I dated an Irish girl. I became an instant fan of the game... so much so that I started to lose interest in the American sports that I grew up with (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL...). We have a local GAA comp in Boston. The crowds are great, the action a delight and the food and beer exceptional! It really is a great sport and culture to belong to. I hope you get a chance to experience a live GAA Game.

[@RobReacts1]

@@MichaeldeSousaCruz I hope your still not interested in USA sports. Cant be dealing with a match taking 8 hours to play but only 10mins of game time :D

[@MichaeldeSousaCruz]

@@RobReacts1 the only USA sport I watch is the SuperBowl now because of culture (it’s like a [bank] holiday here) 😂 I can’t be bothered to watch a game that doesn’t wrap up in under 2 hours anymore. I only watch Rugby League, Rugby Union, GAA, and Boxing. That’s it!

Interesting but a very static test, American football players have to play under all sorts of weather conditions, blistering heat freezing temp rain snow. There is also those long throws and catches, and brutal tackles, not to mention all the plays the players have to train for. Also comparing NLF to amateur is fair you can compare college football to the NFL and college is amateur, and you see some amazing plays in college football. Now I'm waiting for them to pick up a baseball bat and try to hit a 95mph fastball whizzing by their face.

[@TheGiff7]

If those guys have hurling experience they will be well used to fast balls at close quarters as well as catching them in full flight.

[@webstered13]

Look up the "toughest trade" a programme where GAA players both Hurling and football swap with professionals in other sports including baseball and American football.
