font-family: Calibri"> With my extensive coaching experience of coaching at all levels, combined with comprehensive <br /> management training in my profession, I believe I am well equipped to manage the many challenges<br /> a coach has to confront with or on behalf of his athletes. I am a great believer in strong, consistent <br /> communication between coach and athlete, with a view to developing trust, honesty and respect in a <br /> partnership designed for success.<br /> In a coaching role, I believe efficient planning forms the basic foundation of success. My athletes <br /> all receive detailed training plans, and I conduct one-on-one discussions annually with them with a <br /> view to constructing realistic competition regimes with 'SMART' objectives for every season. Regular <br /> training reviews ensure flexibility throughout this process.<br /> I have put together training plans - short, medium and long term - for athletes and sports people of all standards.<br /> Included in my squad or individual regimes are the following technical ingredients: </span> </p> <p> <span color="#0099cc" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri">*Biomechanics *Base fitness *Psychology *Physiology *Planning *Peaking *Strength / power *Speed </span> </p> <p> <span color="#0099cc" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri"> *Speed endurance *Plyometrics *Strong conditioning</span></p> <p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri"> Throughout my coaching career, I have worked with athletes of all ages and both genders from the <br /> widest possible range of socio-economic and cultural groups. I believe I relate to them well, and am repaid with their progress.<br /> <br /> I believe my managerial and 'people' skills are underlined by my track record as a team manager as well as coach. <br /> During my time at Blackheath Harriers - the UK's oldest track and field club - my teams re-wrote all but 3 under-20, <br /> under-17, under-15 and under-13 club records. In Belgrave I achieved similarly with the youth and junior teams <br /> I coached and recruited, and this with a club recognised as the UK's top senior track and field side of recent decades. </span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri"> Countries visited over the past 7 years in various roles include the following:<br /> * Australia *Belgium *Brazil *Chile *China *France *Germany *Greece<br /> * Holland *Italy *Latvia *Lithuania *Luxembourg *New Zealand *Poland&nbsp;<br /> * Portugal *Scotland *Singapore *Slovenia *Spain *Switzerland<br /> * Thailand *Turkey *Ukraine *Wales<br /> * USA (Massachusetts, Connecticut, Georgia, Virginia, Florida, New Hampshire, Illinois, Maryland, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, New York, California, Nevada and Arizona)</span></p> </body> </html>
