“I have known Tony for 7 years however, he has been my coach and mentor for the last 5 years.
As a British Olympian, former Commonwealth Champion, European cup Champion and World Junior Champion, I have been able to compete at this level due to the high level of coaching from Tony. I am a Triple Jumper who competes at the highest level and there are many components to my event, one of which is speed. I need to ensure that I have the best coach to help me improve my speed and technique. Tony was the ideal choice of coach for me due to his vast experience in sprints and the number of athletes he has turned into international sprinters.
Tony has come from military background which is evident in his extreme attention to detail, time management and exceptional organisational skills. Tony is always on time and prepared for training sessions and this professionalism has evidently rubbed off onto his athletes. His ability to motivate is evident in the results his athletes achieve. I have greatly benefitted from what I have learnt while training with Tony. Being a coach myself I now have a greater understanding of coaching sprints and how to get the best out of athletes due to Tony’s clear and precise instructions. His leadership skills are inspirational. Over the years, not only has Tony coached me in the physiological aspects of speed, but he has also guided me as a person, and we have developed a great friendship. I see Tony as a friend as well as my coach. He has advised me on various aspects of my life including education, work and finance. Tony always takes time out to talk to me and any of his athletes if we are in need of some good advice. I wish Tony the very best of luck in the future and I am sure he will be successful in anything he puts his mind to.”
