All coaches in orienteering have shaped me in a different way. My club athletics coach I think has really influenced me and so has my Dad. Well, for most it is. It's all to do with experience - with a bit of extra strength and endurance. When I was a junior I used to look up to Rob Walter and Tom Quayle who were one and two years older than me.
Competition is healthy.
Since Easter last year Paul Pacque has been appointed as the National Junior Coach. He is originally from Belgium but now lives in Tasmania. It was for two reasons. Firstly for a personal reason. I also want to get to know as many juniors as possible.
