| Tom ????began coaching Athletics in 2004 after some time coaching other sports including football, basketball and springboard diving. He was inspired to begin sprints coaching after reading about how to improve sprint performance while working as a strength and conditioning coach for several team sports in early 2000. To fast track his Athletics coaching development he spent a great deal of time from 2000-2004 interviewing and researching the training methods of many successful athletics coaches from around the world before taking his first coaching qualifications. Many of his early interviews were later transcribed for Athletics Weekly, The Coach and published online. As a coach for Loughborough Students Athletics Club he coaches a range of athletes (including both disabled and non disabled athletes) on a voluntary basis across the sprints, hurdles and horizontal jumps. For his day job he works as CPD Manager for UKA and runs uCoach (www.uka.org.uk/coaching) - an online coaching resource for UK based coaches. In his spare time he tries to disseminate the information he gains from his contacts around the world by writing articles on coaching and training related matters for Athletics Weekly (www.athletics-weekly.com). |
