Networking Event for Female Coaches 


Once again Cycling Ireland, Athletics Ireland, Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA), Rowing Ireland and Triathlon Ireland have collaborated to bring an exciting and innovative event to the female coaches within their respective sports. 


This inaugural networking event will take place on Sunday, 6th November at Clayton Hotel, Liffey Valley, Dublin.


The networking day has come about from overwhelming feedback from coaches who have gone through the Women in Sport Coaching Pathway Programme, another initiative the five National Governing Bodies work together on. The coaches have spoken about the need for more networking events and the benefit they get from meeting up and learning from one another. 


We are delighted to have Lisa Fallon join us on the day as keynote speaker. Currently working at the highest level of World Football in FIFA's High Performance Division in their Global Football Development Division, Fallon was Ireland's first ever female Head Coach of a men's professional football club when appointed by Galway United in 2021. 


Dr Phil Kearney, Lecturer in Motor Skill Acquisition, Coaching and Performance at University of Limerick will be on hand to deliver an education session on “Layering 4Cs into your coaching for optimal athlete development”
