Many parallels can be drawn between the world of high performance sport and that of successful organisations. The recent achievements of Irish Boxing are built upon a culture of continuous improvement in the systems and processes put in place to support these athletes, as well as the continuous professional development of the sport’s High Performance Coaches and Managers.
An Irish Olympian himself and seven-time National Champion, Billy Walsh has worked the corners of eight Olympic medal winners over the last three Olympics. In praise of Billy and the other coaches involved, Barry McGuigan commented ‘they are doing something seriously right’. Billy is a Graduate of the IMI Diploma in Strategic HRM.
