Lisa Clancy and Sarah O’Shea have been rolling out a Women in Sport Leadership programme in Ireland since 2020. The course has proved to be hugely successful with over 400 participants completing the course across over 50 different sporting organisations in Ireland and in Europe. Participants have included club members, athletes, coaches, volunteers, board members and support personnel from a variety of backgrounds within Clubs, National Governing Bodies and Local Sports Partnerships.
about the programme
This course has been specifically designed for women in sport to step up at their specific level and break down any barriers that may be holding them back and help to ensure the quota of 40% female Board members by 2023 is maintained. Supported by Sport Ireland the course has been evaluated.
The course is designed to be an enjoyable experience for participants to learn in a relaxed supportive environment from two internationally experienced sporting leaders and also to build a network into the future. It is a practical interactive course delivered over zoom with participants expected to fully engage during the sessions and in various breakout groups as part of their learning experience. There are some group and individual exercises during the programme and the size of the class is limited to ensure everyone has the opportunity to fully engage and reach their full potential.
