The European project HerForm is dedicated to supporting the journey of female athletes into high-level sport. This month, the first segments of video content were filmed in Dublin, Ireland, marking an exciting milestone for the initiative.
HerForm is an international training course funded by the European Union. Based on a project design by Rugby Players Ireland & TWIN, the course is created in collaboration with Asociacion de Jugadores de Futbol Sala, NYSA Sweden, South African Cricketers Association, and Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln. HerForm, which will be delivered through video-based training, is designed to empower women as they transition into high-level sport, helping them unlock their full potential both on and off the field.

- 100% Online: With 10 hours of video-based training, this course is designed to help advance women’s sporting careers. It is fully responsive and adaptable to different languages, ensuring accessibility for athletes from diverse backgrounds.
- Best Practices: Developed by internationally recognized organizations dedicated to supporting female athletes, the course is co-funded by the European Union, ensuring the highest standards of quality and impact.
Irish Rugby Star as presenter
HerForm is delighted to announce that Claire Small (born McLaughlin), a former Ireland Rugby international, will be the face of our training modules. Claire, now a qualified doctor and TV pundit, will guide athletes through five dynamic modules filled with crucial knowledge to help them excel in their transition to senior-level sport.
This month, filming began in Dublin to create the HerForm prototype, which will be tested by various European and African sport bodies as part of their athlete development programmes. The full HerForm training course will be released in December 2025 and will be available for free, making it a valuable resource for aspiring female athletes worldwide.
