Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam, what an amazing person and role model
Incredibly sad news that Ciara Mageean passed away this morning.
A smile and a voice and an attitude that lit up a nation.
Never forget her drive for the line to win European gold in 2024.
“I didn’t grow up playing camogie to get boxed in.”
RIP 🕊️

Never let the world change the good in you.
Be kind when it’s easier not to. Bring light into rooms you’ve never needed to be saved from. Make people feel seen, valued, and appreciated.

Drills make coaches feel organised. Games make players better. Those aren’t the same thing.

Pupils brains work best when their upstairs & downstairs are working together.This means top-down driven behaviour is available for problem solving,managing impulses.
When pupils become stressed & overwhelmed,the downstairs brain temporarily disconnects from the upstairs brain.

Double-Gold Medalist 🥇🥇
Her turn here was just insane.
Absolute joy to watch.
Superstar.

If one football is shared between 16 children, most of the group is practising waiting.
Reduce the numbers.
Increase the number of games.
Give every child more opportunities to touch the ball, make decisions and feel involved.
Ball-to-player ratio matters.

It was a case of 'having to make the final' for Bori Akinola, Sean Aigboboh, Marcus Lawler and Israel Olatunde in the 4x100m men's relay #rtesport #EuropeanAthletics

Well, that looked easy.
In his sixth European final, Mark English wins his sixth European medal - and his first gold.
He becomes the first Irishman ever to win gold at the European Championships.
What an athlete he is, and what a career he's had.
