What is this subject about?
This subject is about challenging yourself and learning about training to improve your performance. This can be for a sport you are interested in or just for yourself to get the most out of your physical activity.
Classes will mostly be practical with only one theory lesson a week; students will need to come prepared to learn through movement every lesson.
While this is one of the most demanding subjects you can do at Clonard, many past students have also said that it is one of the most rewarding.
