Additional Information | Neil is a speed and hurdles event group coach, currently coaching a mix of male and female sprinters and hurdlers (10-12 athletes). He mainly takes athletes from Under 17 upwards, but on occasion may take slightly younger athletes. Sessions are on Tuesdays – speed work, Wednesdays – technical hurdles, Thursday – endurance work, Saturday – more endurance work, Sunday – competition hurdles. Midweek sessions are 6.15pm to 8-8.30pm and weekend sessions are 10.15am to 12.30pm. Coaching Philosophy: Movement led, Holistic, targeted and measured. In short, everything we do is focussed on improving and ingraining efficient movement or “technique” while conditioning athletes for all aspects of their events. Even in the depths of winter, we never lose touch with “speed” training while during the race season we still stay in touch with the aspects of “endurance” training which enable the athletes to sustain the demands of the program and, most importantly, their event. |
