      I really enjoy working with all types of sports, the requirements of each of them is very different so we learn a lot from working in several different ones. I’ve worked in swimming, rugby union, rugby league, athletics, hockey and gaelic games (Irish national sports), and I learnt something new in each one. It can be hard when you don’t really understand the rules or aims of the sport you are working with though, so they take a lot of preparation time!

      I enjoy all sports, though prefer some more than others. I have never tried any winter sports but love watching them on TV. Maybe one day I will get the chance to try them myself! I have worked with some really interesting sports, especially Paralympic sports, such as wheelchair rugby and Paratriathlon. I like learning about the sports and understanding the rules and tactics involved. Paratriathlon was particularly exciting as Rio 2016 was the first time the sport had been included in the Paralympic programme. So it was great to see how well the athletes did, even wearing a gold medal!
