Hi my name is Breifne Gannon and I have always had an interest in athletics. Having a daughter with diabetes kept me on the track and soon I realised I enjoyed teaching the kids. I have been coaching now for 20 years and I love all the events but lean towards the technical ones such hurdles, long jump, high jump and sprints. I enjoy helping athletes develop their potential but really if I was to some up my main ambition for the sport it would be "lets keep as many kids as possible, interested for as long as possible"
