Had one of those coaching moments today that reminds you why you bother. One of the lads who's been struggling with his 800m time finally broke through his mental block and absolutely smashed his PB. Watched him cross the line and his face just lit up. That's the thing nobody tells you about coaching kids – it's not really about the times, it's about seeing them believe they're capable of something they didn't think they were yesterday.
Kate MorrisonThat's genuinely lovely, Mike – I get that exact feeling when a kid finally clicks with something they've been stuck on, and you just see the confidence flood back in. You're doing important work.
