In this podcast, I talk to Hannah England and Ashley Bryant from the UKA Athlete Commission, set up to give athletes a “respected voice” to influence decisions made within track and field athletics. The commission seeks to address an undercurrent of frustration, in areas such as team selection, rule changes, reduced tv coverage and ineffective marketing, by ensuring a dialogue between athletes themselves and those making the decisions that affect them. We talk about the importance of having this good, positive working relationship with the governing bodies, in order to bring about this much-needed change.
