Move2B, in collaboration with Athletics Ireland, Cycling Ireland, Rowing Ireland, Swim Ireland and Triathlon Ireland, are offering a leadership programme to empower young female athletes aged 16-21. The programme itself is a six-week programme that will run from mid September to October with a 1h30 weekly workshop as well as an in-person day.
The objectives of the leadership programme are as follows:
- Develop leadership experience: Focusing on sound judgement, interpersonal and organisational skills that contribute to the overall success of an event, organisation or team.
- Expand insight, vision and strategic thinking: Developing the ability to identify and articulate challenges within sport, and develop ideas and strategies to overcome them.
- Foster motivation and inspiration: Expanding intrinsic motivation to achieve the best not only for themselves but for their teammates and club, fostering a positive and supportive environment.
- Improve communication: Growing the skills to effectively communicate ideas, instructions and feedback to peers, teammates, club members and coaches.
The programme will focus on practical takeaways and real-life examples. This course is for athletes of levels with an interest in leadership and we encourage all those who think they might be interested to apply.
