Orlaith is a Strength and Conditioning coach that has previously worked with the IRFU women's rugby programme with the pinnacle being the 2024 Olympics. She has also worked across Irish Hockey and Gaelic games teams.
Orlaith completed her PhD from DCU where she focused on Talent Development Environments in Female Team Sports.
In early 2026, along with Lucy Rock and Michael Rock, she launched Femily - a space for women to receive online coaching in the performance space. Family focuses on delivering S&C programmes for female athletes in Gaelic games, along with expert advice and education.
We discussed how she managed progressing her career in a male-dominated area, the importance of S&C for female athletes, and how her new business is challenging the traditional approach for S&C in Gaelic games.
