Great opportunity for home nations to push to compete as Cymru, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England at European Championships. Athletes need appropriate exposure at the appropriate time to perform when it matters.
Great Britain will take smaller squads to future championships in a major selection overhaul designed to prioritise potential medallists.

🤓 Emotional Intelligence - As family there is no mask, no facade you can’t hide from your feels. Learning when exactly to address emotional events around comp and training takes time but knowing there’s someone who has your back in your environment is very reassuring.

🤔 Challenging each other - As a senior athlete I feel empowered to ask questions and make suggestions. This once again doesn’t happen overnight, as a stroppy teenager coach/dad wouldn’t rise to my irritating or smartass comments.

🗺 Belief in the journey - Ultimately as the athlete I have trust that my coach wants me to succeed as much as I do. Having faith in a coach and the environment is key.

🤝 Being open to opportunities - Coach/Dad would seek out coach development opportunities and reach out to coaches to learn and encouraged me to do the same. As the athlete I feel free to go out and talk to athletes/coaches and share ideas within the group.
