“Jeff brought a new approach to the role of Performance in the ICPSA. That quickly paid dividends in results with a Gold medal at the World Championships in Trap Men Junior, the same athlete winning a Bronze medal at the European Championships the following year. Jeff also refreshed the Pathway system by creating the Irish Shooting Academy, several members of whom went on to achieve funding from Sport Ireland. Such was my faith in Jeffs ability, he was empowered to liaise directly with all the major organisations including Sport Ireland and the Olympic Council of Ireland. A well qualified and very experienced Performance Manager who was very well respected by myself & the Executive Board.”
