““Niamh Fitzpatrick is one of the people on this earth I would trust more than anyone alive”
“I have had the immense pleasure to work with Niamh Fitzpatrick over many Olympic cycles in my capacity as Sports Director at the Olympic Council of Ireland. Having seen her interact with elite athletes at critical times in their career I can understand that it is not by chance that Niamh is held in such high regard. Her ability to clarify in both the athletes’ and their support personnel’s minds the singular purpose of their years of effort, at a time of immense pressure, cannot be understated.”
