@JohnCorrigan_ @IrishSESA @CACSSS1 @UCCSchoolofEd @dcu_shhp @DCU @UCC @Irishheart_ie @comyns_tommy @atgrainger Thanks a million, John. Implementing and disseminating this programme across the island has been a brilliant experience (the mistakes made and the lessons learnt have helped shaped Y-PATH PE4Me the most though…).

[Dr. Wesley O'Brien @wesleyob1]

A real pleasure to present at day 1 of this year’s @IrishSESA conference. A huge testament to everyone involved in shaping this recently developed organisation. Sport and Exercise Science is in very capable hands on our island 🙌

[Dr. Wesley O'Brien @wesleyob1]

@kearney_phil @IrishSESA @CACSSS1 @UCCSchoolofEd @dcu_shhp @DCU @UCC @Irishheart_ie @comyns_tommy @atgrainger Thank you very much, Phil. Excited to see what the next steps might be.

[Dr. Wesley O'Brien @wesleyob1]

@kearney_phil @IrishSESA Thanks for the interest and support Phil - this is a programme rooted in evidence, and translated in to practice. Many learnings (and many mistakes…) along the way. Bottom line, whole school physical literacy programmes can work if all stakeholders are part of the ecosystem!

[Dr. Wesley O'Brien @wesleyob1]

@behan_s @ColmODonaghue @MaeveMurray12 @IrishSESA @insight_centre @ml_labs_irl @dcu_shhp Excellent work stemming from @DCU postgraduate students, @MaeveMurray12 on health literacy, and @ColmODonaghue on motor competence measurement. Thank you for sharing.
