Aoife is Head of Department of Sport and Health Sciences in Technological University of the Shannon (TUS). Aoife leads the SHE Research Centre which focuses on Bridging the Gender Data Gap in Sport, Health and Exercise Science Research. She also is the co-chair of Míde Research, which is an all-island, cross-institute consortium set up to conduct high-quality interdisciplinary research around women and girls in sport.
Aoife is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to women in sport and I learned so much during our chat. As the former chairperson of the Women’s Gaelic Players Association (WGPA) Aoife brings huge insight into how the WGPA and GPA successfully merged.
We spoke about the need for more research in the area of women's sport, the impact integration has for women in sport, and why it is so important to get involved with supporting causes close to your heart.
Aoife referenced these practical tools that can help coaches and players alike;
