Emma Lynch to join NSWIS diving coaching team

The NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS) are delighted to announce Emma Lynch as the new Assistant Coach – Talent for the Institute’s highly acclaimed diving program.

Operated in partnership with Diving NSW and Diving Australia, the program welcomes Lynch from Diving Western Australia, who have been supportive of the move throughout the process.

Lynch was looking forward to the prospect of joining an experienced coaching cohort at NSWIS, which includes Joel Rodriguez, Thomas Rickards and Chava Sobrino.

“I am excited for the chance to work with many of Australia’s leading diving athletes, coaches and performance teams in Sydney,” she said.

“I can’t thank Diving Western Australia enough for understanding and supporting such a unique opportunity for personal development and, of course, NSWIS for allowing me to continue contributing to Australian Diving.”

NSWIS Head Coach and Diving Australia National Coach Sobrino was enthusiastic in his appraisal of the Institute’s latest recruit.

“We are thrilled to welcome a coach of Emma’s calibre into the NSWIS Diving family,” he stated.

“I am certain she will be a valuable asset to our team and I would like to personally thank Steven Rose and Diving Western Australia for their collaboration and support in this process.

Diving Western Australia CEO, Steven Rose was pleased to see Lynch making a deserved step forward in her coaching career.

“Emma has proved herself to be a highly skilled coach and I have no doubt she will be a success at NSWIS,” he said.

“While she will be missed by everyone involved at Diving Western Australia, I am excited for her to take a position which allows her to apply her skills and actively contribute to developing the next generation of Australian divers.”

The NSWIS Diving Program aims to support talented emerging and elite athletes with world class expertise in their daily training environment. Lynch will commence her role with the Program in October.
