ABOUT

Shaw Sports Performance Solutions (SSPS) is a small business start up established by the owner Des Shaw on October 4th 2013 from the Institute of Technology Carlow.

A night of Firsts.

Big well done to the Arles Killeen senior football team on winning their FIRST senior level competition in their history by securing the Laois ACFL Division 1 League Title last night!

Delighted to be involved with this bunch of lads and it was my FIRST taste of victory as a Strength and Conditioning Coach too!

Tremendous achievement from a small rural club. They were thoroughly deserving of their victory over The Heath. A lot of hard work put in to get to this point and the journey continues next week in the championship.

Arles Killeen Abu!
