Youthpod Ireland

It's World Cup season and no better time to talk about young people and their undying passion for the beautiful game. Joining us are Ruth Comerford, former Champions League and Republic of Ireland (U16's and U19's) player and Co- ordinator of North Wicklow Sports Promotion Unit and her good friend Richard Fitzgibbon, the Football Assosciation of Ireland Development Officer, coaching at U17 and U19 levels. We get a fascinating insight as to how the game is changing for the better for young people, the challenges they face, the importance of "dedication and education" and all of the personal experiences that make the game so special. Plus we have a little chat about this year's World Cup and our highlights so far (well, for those of us who have actually bothered to watch it!!) :) All your comments and feedback are hugely appreciated: youthpod18@gmail.com @youthpodireland #youthpodireland
