Athletics Background:
I was a half decent sprinter as a young man, but my main sport was rugby growing up, so athletics took a back seat. I took up coaching as a postgraduate to take my mind away from the monotony of writing about the world.Experience had taught me that, no matter how talented an individual appears to be, there is no substitute for a good work ethic in an athlete. I therefore pride myself on working hard to get the best out of each athlete I coach, rather than obsessing about which one is the most talented.
