Steven Macklin, Athletics Ireland National Endurance Coach is to leave his post at the end of this month, to take up the role of Head Endurance Coach Role at Aspire Academy in Doha Qatar. Steven starts in his new position, in August.

Steven joins the Aspire Academy at an exciting time, with the IAAF World Championships there in autumn 2019. 

Steven said "It was just too good an opportunity to turn down. It was a tough decision, and I’ve enjoyed my time here but, after 10 years with AAI, it’s the right time for a change"

Steven, a former Togher athlete, started his career with Athletics Ireland as Regional Development Officer (RDO) for Munster, before taking on a National role, based in Dublin, with Athletics Ireland, and finally as National Endurance Coach.  In the last few years, Steven was the driving force behind the highly popular and innovative Athletics Ireland Coaching Networks initiative: Endurance Coaching, Sprint Coaching, Jumps Coaching and Throws Coaching
