Summary
I am an 18 year old male currently sitting the Leaving Cert in 2026. I am Garda-vetted for FAI and GAA with a current child safeguarding certificate and disability football training certificate. I am experienced in coaching and managing children from my role as FAI Camp Coach for the past 2 summers. I also represented Carlow at the Kennedy Cup and was on the Carlow GAA minor squad in 2024. I was selected for the 2024 Tempe Exchange through Carlow County Council where I spent 4 weeks in Tempe, Arizona. I am skilled in teamwork, leadership, and fostering safe, fun, and inclusive football environments.
