Talent Transition Squad Coach
Michaela Rihackova is our Talent Transition Squad Coach.
The Talent Transition Squad is designed to help support selected athletes from across the UK that show potential of competing at the highest levels. It aims to bridge the gap between players competing domestically and athletes that are supported by the World Class Programme.
Rihackova has coached boccia since 2010 and was head national coach of the Czech Republic from 2015 to 2019, nurturing the talents of current Paralympic champion Adam Peska.
A member of the World Boccia Development Committee over the last eight years, Rihackova is also a national classifier, international referee and sports assistant to Britainβs Stephen McGuire who became Paralympic Champion in 2024.
