The Irish Judo Association is proud to highlight the achievements of one of our own, Lydia Ritchie, who recently completed the Women in Sport Leadership Programme.
Lydia has shared her personal experience of the course, reflecting on the opportunities, challenges, and motivation it provided. Her insights show the value of empowering female leaders within our sporting community.
This course, supported by Sport Ireland and the Women in Sport programme, plays a vital role in developing confident and capable leaders who are shaping the future of Irish Judo and sport at large.
We’re delighted to support our members on these journeys and will continue showcasing their stories as part of our commitment to increasing female representation in all areas of judo.
📸 Keep an eye on our website and social platforms for photos and more updates from participants soon.
If your club is interested in supporting or nominating someone for future Women in Sport initiatives, please reach out to Ellie Dennis, our Women in Sport Club Development Coordinator at eleanor.dennis@irishjudoassociation.ie.
