Proudly presented in association with Sporting Pride Ireland and Dublin LGBTQ Pride as part of Dublin Digital Pride for In and Out Festival, this special online webinar “Standing Proud in Irish Sport: My Life as an Elite LGBTQ+ Athlete”.
This special event will be hosted by Anna Nolan, an experienced broadcaster (who has played basketball at a national level) who'll be talking to Donal Óg Cusack, three-time All Ireland Hurling winner and the first elite Irish sportsman to come out as gay and Nikki Symmons, former hockey and cricket international and Ireland’s most capped team player in history.
Nikki and Donal will talk openly and honestly to Anna about their personal experiences, including:
• the role sport played in growing up;
• attitudes among teammates and coaches;
• influence on mental and physical development;
• effect on sporting performance; and
• the coming out process.
Our Health, Fitness & Wellbeing strand of In and Out Festival for June is being proudly supported by Life Style Sports.
