Prior to this position, she served as Head of Talent Development for Sports England and Lead Performance Pathway Scientist for UK Sport.
Jason is one of Ireland’s most decorate athletes. He has won 21 gold medals including 6 gold medals across 4 paralympic games and held the record as fastest Paralympian of all-time. Retired from competition, Jason serves as Strategy Manager for Paralympics Ireland and serves on the board of Vision Sports Ireland.
On today’s episode, Neasa and Jason highlight their efforts in creating systems and strategies to help support the identification, development, and performance of para-athletes. They are constantly searching for ways to grow and drive the future of para-athletics. Jason shares some of his favorite memories from competition at the Paalympics and Neasa informs us what we can look forward to from Ireland in the 2024 Games.
