Sarah Dineen: Morten Espersen will be missed but the work goes on

Rowing Ireland’s High Performance director, Morten Espersen confirmed this week he is resigning from his position, bringing to a close a huge contribution made by the Dane over the past four years. 

Such has been his effect his legacy will hopefully continue well into the future.

The HP programme has consequently necessitated a reshuffle but there is a determination the programme, and its athletes, continue to go from strength to strength, with Espersen continuing to work closely with Rowing Ireland for the next three months until the position is reassigned.
