The Aviva Soccer Sisters virtual skills hub has been launched and who better to front it than Áine O'Gorman?

A distinguished players for the last 15 years for Ireland, a razor sharp and fascinating pundit, O'Gorman knows what it takes to get to the top and she knows how to get that message across too. Under the tagline #SafeToDream, the Peamount United star is best-placed to tell young women that they shouldn't let anyone tell them they can't. As 20x20 enters it's #ThinkItAskIt phase, O'Gorman is a shining light - playing football at the top, for a second time, and analysing games on TV at the top with distinction. We spoke to her about she's found the punditry job because, often, recently-retired players - never mind current international players - find the adaptation tough. Like anything, she's enjoying learning how to become better. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/1317141866639405057 The Aviva Soccer Sisters hub launched today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoferB_rtiw&feature=youtu.be Republic of Ireland Women's National Team player Áine O'Gorman today launched the Aviva Soccer Sisters Mid-Term Virtual Skills Hub, specially designed for girls to take part in during the upcoming October mid-term.
