Is there a difference between coaching girls and boys or women and men? That is the question that will be asked and answered at an event on Thursday 4th February at 7 PM focusing on coaching, taking place virtually.
Hosted by Electric Ireland, the virtual event will invoke insightful discussion, exploring the differences in approach in coaching females versus males, touching on the barriers experienced from both the players’ and the coaches’ perspective.
Coaching insights across a range of sports will be offered, providing attendees with helpful hints and tips for improved coaching.
Following a keynote conversation with Kenny Shiels, Manager of the Northern Ireland Senior Women’s National football team, who recently made history making it to the play-offs of Euro 2022, attendees will enjoy a thought-provoking panel discussion.
Sports represented include female rugby with Neal Johnston, Female Rugby Officer at Ulster Rugby, Netball with Tom Causer, Club and Workforce Manager at Northern Ireland Netball, Gail Redmond, Women’s Domestic Manager at the Irish FA Foundation and former head coach of the Glentoran women’s team and Briege Corkery, will bring a GAA perspective as one of the most successful female GAA dual players in history, winning 18 All-Ireland medals across Camogie (7) and Football (11) for her home county of Cork.
“This event is for anyone interested in or involved in female coaching and will be of particular interest to those coaching at grassroots level,” said Anne Smyth, Electric Ireland Sponsorship Specialist who will chair the event.
“Our panellists come from a diverse range of sporting backgrounds and there is so much we can learn from their varied experience. We will gain perspectives from the point of view both of coaches and athletes on a range of coaching-related topics.”
