Women In Sport Advocates – Applications Open!
Triathlon Ireland are looking for Women in Sport Advocates
The Women in Sport Advocates are an integral part of our new “Be Triathlon” Women in Sport Strategy, and we are really excited to share your triathlon stories. We have lots of exciting plans, and we want you to be part of them! We want to encourage women to take part in all aspects of our sport from chairing a club committee to being a Technical Official or coaching, and we want your help to do it.
We are looking for women who are passionate about triathlon and about sharing their journey in the sport. As a member of your local club, being an advocate means encouraging women in your club and your local community with their triathlon journeys, and championing the sport!
Triathlon Ireland will support you by telling your story throughout the year on our website and social media, providing personal development opportunities and an entry to a Triathlon National Series race of your choice! There’s also some awesome training kit to help you reach your goals for this year – whether that is completing your first race, or topping the Triathlon National Series podium!
THE ADVOCATE ROLE
Central to being an advocate is simply loving triathlon! Triathletes are hugely passionate about their sport and this is infectious. Our advocates champion the sport in their community for new and experienced triathletes alike.
- Act as a ‘Be Triathlon’ advocate for female triathlon in your local area, Triathlon Ireland and the triathlon community.
- Encourage and support new and existing triathletes where possible.
- Take part in Triathlon Ireland’s social media initiatives and other publicity as necessary.
- Provide some social media content for races you take part in. This can be as simple as tagging Triathlon Ireland in your posts so that we can engage with you.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
- Support in your own personal development (for example taking part in TI coaching, leadership, mentoring or technical official courses)
- Entry to a Triathlon National Series race of your choice in the 2025 season
- Full TI membership for 2025 (we will refund you your current membership)
- Triathlon Ireland Kit.
To be an advocate you must be a Triathlon Ireland Full Member and be over 18. The closing date for applications is 15th April 2025. If you have any questions, please contact Eleanor Condon – eleanor@triathlonireland.com or Joanna Doran – joanna@triathlonireland.com
