It's National Disability in Sport Week!

Join Sport Ireland tomorrow night for a practical conversation on coaching athletes with disabilities. This session will show how inclusion isn’t a huge overhaul - it’s what great coaches already do every day: adapt to the person in front of them.

Join us Tuesday, December 2nd at 8pm for a practical conversation on coaching athletes with disabilities. This session will show how inclusion isn’t a huge overhaul - it’s what great coaches already do every day: adapt to the person in front of them.

Our panel will share simple, effective coaching adjustments, athlete-centred approaches, and real examples of how small changes can open big opportunities. We’ll highlight the brilliant work happening across Irish sport and how coaches can better support para-athletes in their own clubs and pathways.

Featuring:
• Treacy Percy (VIP Hub, Laois Local Sports Partnership)
• Cliona Horan & Alan Dineen (Paralympics Ireland)
• Mark Barry (Irish Wheelchair Association (IWA) / National Rehab Hospital)
• Ciarán Murphy Murphy (Sport Ireland)
