I am an RFU L2 qualified Sports Coach with a passion for all sports, but mostly within Rugby Union.  From the age of 5, I played Rugby for a local team, progressing to Refereeing and Coaching. I volunteered at my local club, Vale of Lune RUFC, for four years, where I coached kids aged under nines to under thirteens.  I would love to explore a job in Rugby Union after my studies are complete, ideally as an Assistant Coach or TMO referee. I have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the game, due largely to having a rare medical condition which has given me the gift of a photographic memory! I work particularly well in recalling facts, figures, and rules in Sports especially when I have watched a game. I can remember minute details.

I am a 23 year old who has recently been participating in coaching. I have a wealth of playing experience playing with Munster age grade, Ireland 18s and 19s caps and 5 years experience playing AIL 1A rugby.  Willing to relocate for the right job.

The importance of providing an insightful, impassioned and consistent perspective for young people is a position which commands great responsibility. I have enjoyed educating, coaching and inspiring young people in various different positions/roles. Having a thorough and methodical approach to strategy and operations provides those around me the opportunity to flourish in their respective roles. I possess the relative experience and skillsets complemented with enthusiastic and energetic leadership. My excellent communication and relationship building skills mean I am often a popular contributor within any organisation. I have huge experience working alongside Sporting Directors to deliver comprehensive programmes of athletic development whilst also supporting both major sports and those individuals talented in less significant sports. The ability to facilitate young people’s sporting experiences is a privilege and the positive experiences I have had serve to fuel my ambition further. Working in different schools in the UK and overseas, my own sports experiences, coupled with being a father to two gifted young sports participants provides me with a comprehensive appreciation of the nuances of School Sport. My experiences have helped me develop a flexible approach in dynamic environments aided by my confident decision making. The provision of sport and activities within schools is intrinsic to the fabric of any school, often commanding significant marketing opportunities. The social interaction, inclusion and comradery that physical activity offers young people should be a cornerstone of childhood and adolescence. Learning and mastering sports skills and providing healthy competition complement an ambitious and well delivered academic framework. Changes observable in the everyday life of young people mean that sport and activity now provides a unique and valuable wellbeing opportunity. I am seeking a Director of Sport position as I feel I have both the relevant experiences and qualities to excel and I genuinely relish the opportunity to make a significant impact.

I have been teaching since graduating with a PGCE in Physical Education from the University of Bath in 1998. I have taught in the UK and between 2004 and 2023, I was working abroad in UAE, Tanzania, Jordan, and Malaysia, and China. As you can see from my application I have worked predominately as a leader of Physical Education departments, as well as managerial roles such as Deputy Head Pastoral, Key Stage Coordinator, Head of Academics, IGCSE Coordinator, and Examinations Officer.  I also deliver IGCSE Physical Education classes to years 10 and 11, to include the practical moderation, and A Level Physical Edcation to year 12 and 13 students. In my current role I lead the Physical Education department, delivering PE classes to Years 7-13, to include A Level PE (AQA) and Cambridge iGCSE PE. In October 2022 I enrolled on a NPQSL course with Best Practice Network, and completed the course in April this year.  I am a CIE iGCSE practical PE moderator and an AQA A Level practical moderator. In all the schools I have worked I have always been fully involved in classes, clubs and trips arranged outside of the usual school hours. Offering sports teams has always been part of my job, to include swimming, rugby, athletics, volleyball, and cricket. I have also led trips both in country and overseas to include sports weekends, ski trips, and a World Challenge trip to Tanzania. As shown by my experience in schools, I am enthusiastic about education and always strive to do the best for my students. I can take on responsibility for learning and have experience of successfully managing a class, and department. In closing I welcome the opportunity to meet you and discuss how my experiences and skills would benefit you and the other staff and students. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours truly, Duncan Hardie

A brief explanation of my career to date.   My career in retail started 20 years ago when I began work ing in my wife ’ s family business Queally’s SuperVal u Kilrush/Killaloe. The j o urney started in Kilrush w here I completed an 18 month trainee management course which involved spending time in all departments of the store getting an all-round education. In 2004 we had also started the build of Killaloe SuperValu which I was heavily involved in. I found the project management of the building of Killaloe SuperValu very exciting and interesting, and a steep learning curve, viewing things from a green site to what’s now cur r ently in place today  The Convent Hill Shopping Centre .   Queally’s SuperValu Killaloe open ed in 2004 and it was then that I relocated to the town of Killaloe to be involved from the start . My main responsibilities along with the management team was to lead a team of staff members by continuous onsite training to ensure excellent quality of product and service .   Through the years in retail I was always involved on a voluntary basis in local school and community rugby. In 2016 I made a decision apply for a CCRO role with Munster Rugby which I got and that lead me into looking at getting back into my first love sport as a Rugby coach. I decided that it was a great time to take a break from retail and apply myself and see how far coaching could take me. At the same time spending more time at home with the family too. In 2017 I got involved with Cistercian Collage Roscrea a private A school in the Lei nster region after my time with M unster ended. I coached the Senior 2nds and Assisted with the SCT in CCR and also managed doing 3 years as a Housemaster with the school too.(2017 -23). 2023-2024 I coach the Senior Women’s rugby for two seasons at UL Bohemians Rfc and UL University of Limerick. This season past both club and university teams won back to back trophies.  2024-Present  Ciaching in Private A School Glenstal Abbey in Marroe Co. Limerick Juniors    Now as 2024 is nearing an end I am looking to return to the corporate world or look at challenging my self and my coaching, as its time too as my kids are getting older one in 2nd year College in Galway and one progressing to 6th year and the demands of schooling, life style and living has me honestly thinking that the time is now right to plan for the next 20 years of my life. I am 50 years old now older and wiser and feel that with my retail and coaching experience I have joint learnings that will be valuable for any company, organisation and or school looking to invest in me. I am an energetic, motivated, ambitious, fast learner willing to start at the bottom to prove my worth, learn and work my way up the ladder to achieve excellence.  Thanking you in advance for your time and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
