Coaching Voices with Gordon Adams: Former national coach

The England Athletics Podcast

Former national athletics coach Gordon Adams joins host Tom McNab for the final part of the first series of England Athletics' Coaching Voices Podcast. He initially competed as a high and triple jumper in the 1950s and still holds Watford Harriers' record in the latter event, with a jump of 13.90m in 1967, but his move into coaching was accelerated by an ankle injury picked up while playing football. Among his career highlights is working with the silver-medal winning men's 4x400m relay quartet at the 1984 Olympic Games.
