“Tony Lester has been invaluable to me throughout my athletics career; coaching me to achieve Commonwealth Gold and Silver, Olympic Finalist, World Student Games Champion and U23 European Silver medalist. Not only has he been there through the highs of my career, but he has also seen me through the lows of which there have been many. His encouragement and unwavering belief in my ability ensured that through my long period of injury I was never isolated from the sport. From Tony, I have learnt the importance of focus, discipline and resilience and in my opinion, he is one of the finest sprint coaches in the country!”
