Kilkenny athlete’s Gold at World Champs

Masters category. In 2022, he won the same event in the European Masters Athletics Championships in Braga, Portugal.

Eoin is a Chartered Physiotherapist and lectures on modules including Sports Medicine, Athletic Monitoring, Performance Planning, Strength and Conditioning and Sport and Exercise Biomechanics on SETU programmes.

Dr Michael Harrison, Head of the Department of Sport and Exercise Science said:

“It was great to add Eoin to our staff team. The Sport & Exercise Science and Sports Coaching & Performance programmes really benefit from his academic background combined with his experience as an elite athlete.

“Eoin also found time during first semester to offer a sports science experience for schools in the region who are offering Physical Education as a leaving certificate subject. Elite athletes tend to be highly organised and disciplined which allows them to balance multiple commitments.”
