10 IN CLOSING The finishing point of this document is the starting point for the development of Trinity Sport. As well as providing invaluable input to the collation of a Strategy for Sport, the discussions by consultation groups evidenced very clearly that sport matters. The challenge therefore is consistent with the philosophy articulated in the current College Strategic Plan that notes; ‘A new strategic plan is an opportunity to set a course for the future, to put forward new ideas in response to changing times and circumstances, while reaffirming Trinity’s enduring values.’(strategic plan) xix Trinity Sport already makes a difference but a real opportunity now exists to make that difference count. This will be achieved by embracing in full the agreed Strategy with the enshrined principles of integrity, commitment and professionalism. Trinity’s reputation as a university of global consequence will then be supported by a sporting rigour that sets standards across the third level sector in Ireland and beyond. “I was able to continue my academic studies alongside my sporting career because of the support given to me by Trinity College” Natalya Coyle, Student and Olympian 2012 xix Strategic Plan 2014-2019, Trinity College Dublin, Introduction 32 RAISING OUR GAME A Strategy for Sport at Trinity 2015 - 2018
