Ireland, you've been good to us. ☘️

From classrooms and castles to cliffs, coastlines, and countless adventures, this island was our classroom and our home away from home. Our last adventures yesterday were at Blarney Castle and Rock of Cashel.

We leave with new perspectives, lifelong memories, and friendships strengthened by every mile traveled together.

Ireland owed us nothing. Yet somehow it gave us everything.

Slán, Ireland. Until next time. 🇮🇪

What a weekend in Ireland. 🇮🇪

From walking through the beautiful Botanical Gardens and Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin to touring and experiencing the history of Irish sport and culture, the weekend was packed from start to finish. We saw the incredible Book of Kells and the famous Long Library at Trinity, then wrapped up Friday at the iconic Guinness Storehouse.

The adventure continued west with stories of the Irish mining experience, an amazing sheepdog demonstration, baby lambs that stole the spotlight, Kinvara and its castle, and finally the Cliffs of Moher on one of the most beautiful days imaginable.

Add in Galway, live music, plenty of laughs, and a lot of craic, and it turned into a weekend this group won’t forget anytime soon.

Day 2 and 3 was a full dive into Irish sport and healthcare culture. 🇮🇪☘️

From exercise physiology, pain science, and isokinetic testing to learning about the tradition and intensity of Gaelic football and hurling, our students got a firsthand look at how sport connects communities across Ireland.

Some lessons happen in the classroom. Others happen with a hurley in your hand.
