Trackspeed1 UK Chief Coach, John Powell's Stateside visit landed him in the State of Virginia this week, and he had very quickly recruited a wealth of expertise for the squad over the coming year.
After revisiting his old stomping ground at Harvard University, Boston, the hook-up with Virginia's Chief Track and Field coach, Bryan Fetzer (formerly at Harvard) paid dividends.
Details will appear on this blog very soon, but with links continuing at Harvard, and a Washington DC-based coach already buying into links with Trackspeed1, John was already very excited about the potential for his athletes in 2013/14 and on.
"We have a wealth of expertise in the UK, but if you limit the range of your knowledge to your own shores it is a very naive strategy indeed. I have learned so much from my links in the US over the years, and this summer's trip has extended the potential to develop and learn still further.
"It's potential links for the athletes, most importantly, as well as the coaching staff in the squad," he continued, "and I believe that puts us in a very unique position indeed. I hope to elaborate very soon."
Trackspeed1 UK regroup as a squad for training on October 12th - two days after John visits Buckingham Palace to collect his MBE from The Queen!
