WHO’S IN CHARGE OF COACHING?
OUR ‘State of the Nation’ series continues this week
with a look at coaching and the club scene (see p16-25).
This includes strong views from Toni Minichiello, who
claims, among other things, that home-grown coaches
were neglected in the run-up to London 2012 and more
money should go to grassroots development.
The man who guided Jessica
Ennis-Hill to multiple titles is
the latest to highlight a historic
problem within the sport. Back
in 1997, for example, we ran
a bleak front-page cover with
the headline “Coaching in
crisis” following the news that
Britain’s national coaches had
been made redundant. Then
for much of the next decade
one of our columnists, Tony
Ward, frequently asked in his opinion pieces “who’s in
charge of coaching?”
He did it so often, in fact, without ever receiving an
answer from governing bodies, that it became mildly
comical. Except it wasn’t a laughing matter, because
without good coaches it’s not easy to produce world-
beating athletes.
London 2012 was a success, of course, but the GB
squad was dominated by imported coaches. From
Charles van Commenee to Paralympic supremo Peter
Eriksson to men like Dan Pfaff, Derek Evely and Kevin
Tyler, the coaching structure was dominated by talented
guns-for-hire from abroad who, once the Games were
over, swiftly left the UK.
So it’s hard to argue with Minichiello’s opinion that
British coaches were neglected. Although at least there
was a definitive head of coach development in the run-
up to 2012 in the shape of Tyler, while Peter Stanley was
a well-received (albeit short-lived) appointment as head
of coaching and development at UKA in 2013.
Given this, our state of the nation investigation regrets
to report that the age-old question of ‘who’s in charge
of coaching?’ remains as relevant as ever. Neil Black,
incidentally, does a fine job as head coach of the British
Olympic team, but his work is very much targeted on
getting the Lottery-funded elite to win medals.
The grassroots coaching and clubs structure
supposedly forms the bedrock on which British athletics
champions are built. Yet historically it struggles for
leadership and funding in comparison to the more
glamorous and better-funded elite athlete performance
programme.
