Research Impact: Nacsport was used to code all skill executions during 121 games by both male and female participants (76 male, 45 female), classified as Tier 1 (n=181, 134) and Tier 2 (n=238, 115) high performance, adult Gaelic Football players. Players relied upon their dominant side for most skill executions and there were no consistent differences between tier groups or genders. (Kick Pass Dominant Foot Mdn: MT1=90%, MT2=98.6%, FT1=100%, FT2=100%; Solo Dominant Foot: Mdn MT1=95%, MT2=97.3%, FT1=100%, FT2:=100%; Hand Pass Dominant Hand Mdn: MT1=83.7%, MT2=99%, FT1=95.5%, FT2=95.5%; Hop Dominant Hand Mdn: MT1=91.9%, MT2=94.7%, FT1=98.1%, FT2=98.1%; Play Dominant Foot Mdn:MT1=74.5%, MT2=94.5%, FT1=94.7%, FT2=88.2%).
