Coaching Voices with Tony Hadley: Birchfield Harriers Chair and sprints coach

The England Athletics Podcast

The latest episode of the Coaching Voices podcast from England Athletics features Birchfield Harriers Chair Tony Hadley, the former coach of 400m runners Derek Redmond, Phil Brown, Du'aine Ladejo and Matt Hudson-Smith. Tony provides a powerful eyewitness account of the famous moment when Derek's father Jim - who sadly passed away last October - helped his injured son to the finish line at the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games. In conversation with hosts Tom McNab and Alex Seftel, Tony also reflects on his career as a sprinter and a PE teacher and describes a method he's devised for assessing the quality of a coach.
