Are you 2020 Ready?! Would you like to train with some of Ireland’s top athletes this year? As part of the National Dairy Council and the European Milk Forum’s “Everything starts with milk” campaign, we are offering a lucky school or sports club the chance to train with professional rugby player and Love Island Winner Greg O’Shea; Kellie Harrington, one of Ireland’s top female boxers; and also some of the amazingly talented players from Ireland’s women’s Hockey team.

All you have to do is tell us in 100 words why you deserve to win this once in a lifetime chance. One hockey club, one rugby club and one boxing club will each get the chance to train with the athletes.

We will be picking the best entries and the training day will take place on Wednesday 5th of February, 2020 at UCD Campus in Dublin.

In addition to providing the opportunity to improve gameplay and learn new skills, the winning team will have the chance to participate in a Q&A session with Greg O’Shea and the other athletes and a sports nutritionist to discuss the importance of drinking milk in everyday life and for sports nutrition and recovery along with getting advice on how to pursue success in sport.

The competition is open to both male and female athletes aged 12 to 18 years from schools and clubs across Ireland. To enter the competition simply tell us in 100 words why you deserve to win this once in a lifetime chance. If you are feeling creative, you can also send a short, creative video explaining why you and your team would love the opportunity to train with the athletes.

All entries should be sent to the National Dairy Council at milk2020@ndc.ie by 5pm on Tuesday 28th January, 2020.
