26 | AUTUMN 2022 | www.ladiesgaelic.ie BUA PROGRAMME T he Ladies Gaelic Football Association's second 'BUA' Leadership and Life-skills programme began in September, with 32 young females from all over the country selected to take part. 'BUA - Believe Unlock Potential Achieve' is a self-development initiative aimed at developing the leadership skills of young people within the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, which, in turn, will benefit their local communities. Aimed at females from 16-19 years of age, 'BUA' will be conducted through expert-led workshops and self- reflection, before participants put their enhanced leadership skills into practice through a club action project. Over the coming months, participants will cover topics essential for young people, including: resilience, dealing with change, building trust and respect, conflict resolution, problem solving, project planning and delegation. In addition, LGFA-specific topics including introductions to coaching, officiating and administration will be covered. Check the list of participants and their clubs involved in the programme in the table to the right.
