Athletics Ireland organised a Coach Network Conference at the Sport Ireland Institute on Sunday, October 4th. It brought coaches from across the country together for learning, collaboration and practical development.

The conference was headlined by professional coach Marco Airale, who provided attendees with valuable insights into high-performance coaching, athlete development and the practical application of training principles.Marco is based in northern Italy and a number of athletes in his group won medals at the recent European Championships in Birmingham. The conference featured presentations, track demonstrations and practical gym sessions, giving coaches the opportunity to learn, connect and share best practice.

Trim AC had five coaches in attendance John Rowe, Ciaran Tobin, Trish Duffy, John Robinson and Daniel Blom. They took on board the practical and theoretical aspects of the weekend and look forward to putting some ideas and plans to use with our young athletes. The club is striving to give its members the best advice and guidance on developing their sporting abilities. Coach education and participation is a key to this and we thank AAI and in particular Paul McKee for their work.
