Erin Hennessy is representing Tipperary in ladies football leadership skills programme
Selected participants will receive support as they cover topics essential for young people
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association’s fourth 'BUA' Leadership and Life-skills programme is underway, with 24 young females selected to take part.
12 counties in Ireland are represented across the four provinces, while a representative from the St Joseph’s (Waltham Cross) in Hertfordshire is also participating.
Tipperary is represented by Erin Hennessy from the Templemore club.
‘BUA - Believe Unlock Potential Achieve’ - is a self-development initiative aimed at developing the leadership skills of young people within the Ladies Gaelic Association, which, in turn, will benefit their local communities.
Aimed at females aged 16-19 years of age, ‘BUA’ will be conducted through expert-led workshops and self-reflection, before participants put their enhanced leadership skills into practice through a club action project.
Selected participants will receive support as they cover topics essential for young people, including:
- Resilience
- Dealing with change
- Building trust and respect
- Conflict resolution
- Problem-solving
- Project planning and delegation
In addition, LGFA-specific topics including introductions to coaching, officiating and administration will be covered.
