John McDonald

John’s career began coaching rowing along with Strength and conditioning for rowers in St Michael’s rowing club in 2018. Once covid hit he moved into a different field where he worked in the addiction area. After one year working there an opportunity to work on Dochas came available and he swiftly moved into his current position where he now works with children and adults who have autism and guides them with exercise and fitness.

John studied in Tralee where he got his degree in Strength and conditioning along with personal training and health and leisure studies. John has a passion for working with Autism Inclusion / Awareness by educating and advocating for the autistic community. He will be available at Dochas on Parnell Street to meet with Parents / Guardians of children and adults who need support in health and well being along with exercise and fitness goals.
