Tommy Carr is an Irish strength and conditioning coach and former Gaelic footballer who played for the Dublin county team. He later became involved in coaching and media work.
Carr received an All Star in 1991 in the same year that he won a National Football League medal with Dublin. He won his second league medal with Dublin in 1993.[1]
Managerial career
Carr was the Dublin manager between 1997 and 2001, a period that proved an unsuccessful period for Dublin. During this era the current Dublin manager, Dessie Farrell, was the captain of the Dublin football team until Carr was replaced by Tommy Lyons.
Carr was an advisor to the Wexford senior football team "on physical fitness and mental attitude matters" in 2002 under the management of Ger Halligan.[2][3]
He went on to manage Roscommon between 2002 and 2005,[4] and was appointed manager of Cavan in 2008.
He left the job as Cavan manager in July 2010.[5]
In 2011, he was appointed manager of the Westmeath minor team.[citation needed] This was six years after he turned down the opportunity to succeed Páidí Ó Sé as manager of the senior team.[6]
