During the recent ALgarve 7s tournament, TRF European Director Mike Mulroy welcomed our latest Country Ambassador to the team, Ricardo Hawkes from Lisbon, Portugal.
Ricardo is a coach and referee with a great deal of experience who has been working alongside Mike and the team for several months learning about Brain Health and our Concussion Vital Signs programme which he will be delivering to players in and around the Lisbon area initially along with completing their Base Line assessment.
Thanks to the Foundation and our partner "7s Referee", Mike has been working with several referees from Portugal this year to help to develop their skills in the game of Sevens and as a consequence they all attended the Algarve 7s with a new focus, hard work both on and off the pitch to improve and a number of them have travelled with Mike to tournaments around Europe over the past few months - a trend that will certainly continue.
