Young Women in Leadership Programme

Rowing Ireland, in collaboration Move2Be, Triathlon Ireland, and Cycling Ireland are offering a leadership programme to empower young female athletes aged 17-21, focusing on leadership development. The programme itself is a six-week programme that will run from mid September 2025 to October 2025 with one workshop each week, lasting 1h30. The objectives of the leadership programme are as follows:

• Develop leadership experience: Focusing on sound judgement, interpersonal and organisational skills that contribute to the overall success of an event/organisation/team.
• Expand insight, vision and strategic thinking: Developing the ability to identify and articulate challenges within sport, develop ideas and strategies to overcome them.
• Foster motivation and inspiration: Expanding intrinsic motivation to achieve the best not only for themselves but for their teammates and club, fostering a positive and supportive environment.
• Improve communication: Growing the skills to effectively communicate ideas, instructions and feedback to peers, teammates, club members and coaches.  
• Build Resilience: Develop confidence to navigate challenges, adapt to setbacks and maintain a growth mindset

The programme will focus on practical takeaways and real-life examples. This course is for athletes of levels with an interest in leadership and we encourage all those who think they might be interested to sign up below.
