Waterford ace Austin Gleeson has revealed that he has been going over ways to improve his long-range shot selection recently.

The 20-year-old Mount Sion man, who is renowned for his ability to split the posts from distance, says too many of his ambitious efforts end up being pot shots, particularly from the sidelines, and he has taken advice from team mates for improvement.

"I know in the last couple of games the only times of stupidity have been the sidelines and I'm after looking at them myself personally and the lads have told me different ways about improving that," Gleeson told the Irish Independent.

"It's more about leaving the ball go and not doing stupid stuff again. It's working," he said.

"I'm trying not to have as many off-the-cuff shots but I'm really enjoying trying to learn how to be a full-time team player. If I didn't have a shot in the game and we won it, it wouldn't really bother me. That's the way it's gone now."

Glesson and his Deise team mates take on Clare this Sunday in Thurles, where they will look to retain their Division One crown.
