We're in our second year taking part in the Sky Sports Living for Sport programme. Last year was fantastic and we had such a great time with Irish Modern Pentathlete Natalya Coyle and the inspirational Dermot Gascoyne. This year we got to meet Irish athlete Brian Gregan.
Brian held a fantastic meeting with the girls, and we were also happy to have some of the St Mac Dara's athletes and some of the international superstars from our school along as guests. Everyone was rapt as Brian introduced himself and gave some of his background. It was when he started to talk about his philosophy of sport and achievement that people really started to see how amazing an experience an Athlete Mentor visit is.
Before we knew it over two hours had passed, including an amazing questions and answers sessions. Brian agreed to get some photographs taken with the girls. That was when the scrum started. Even our injured players moved like lightning to get in beside him! Ms Brady won!
We are delighted to take part in the Sky Sports Living for Sport programme. We've gained so much from it over the last two years and we can't wait for more amazing projects and awesome athlete mentors to inspire us.
