Subreddit Revival!

15 Upvotes

Hi Lads and Ladies.

I recently took over this subreddit and I hope to revive it and make it a great hub to discuss Irish sports both foreign and domestic. I would like to use this post to discuss what type of a community I hope to create with all of you. I would also ask that you go and check out the new rules as I would love feedback!

Ireland is renowned in the sports world for producing some outstanding athletes and for producing some of the greatest fans to support these athletes so I see no reason why this can't become a vibrant community to cheer on our boys and girls in green! I plan to ensure that match/fight/event threads are posted here before our national teams or Irish athletes compete to facilitate that.

I would also like this to be a place where we can discuss Irish sporting news, this news could be articles or simply social media posts. As well as sporting news I would hope that general discussion about sport will flourish here.

I would love for us to be able to watch and discuss highlights here, whether they be highlights from a match that day or from a game 30 years ago all sports content past and present will be welcome here.

Finally, I believe that talking about sports should be fun and that's why meme and "bants" posts are encouraged I would just ask that you flair these posts accordingly so that those who are not interested in them can filter them out!

I hope to create a community that everyone can enjoy so please all feedback is welcome! And if anyone would like to create a banner and icon for the subreddit that would be much appreciated!

Boxing Help for Dissertation

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,

First time poster here. I'm currently in the process of gaining participants for my dissertation to complete my masters and struggling to meet the required numbers for interviews.

The study is on athlete psychology, specifically motivation and career transitions in Professional Boxing. I am looking for licensed professional boxing athletes and coaches specifically.

I know it is a long shot posting here, but if you are one of the above or know any body who would be interested, or just want to help please do get in contact!

Cheers again!
