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.

Peter Stanley coached Jonathan Edwards, the world record holder in men's triple jump, for nine years. In that time they won Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles together, with Jonathan famously jumping 18.29m in Gothenburg in 1995.

Peter, who got into athletics through his daughter, coached alongside a full-time job in civil engineering, before later working for UK Athletics as a Head of Field and Combined Events until his retirement in 2020.

In this Coaching Voices episode, he talks to Tom McNab and Alex Seftel about his life experience as a coach and what he thinks should be done to improve the sport.

This episode is a journey through the indoor season, starting with 20-year-old Keely Hodgkinson who has won medals at all four major athletics championships in the last two years. Her coach Trevor Painter also explains the environment he tries to create in training to allow her to flourish.

Also this month, highlights from the UK Athletics Indoor Championships in Birmingham featuring Sophie McKinna, Ellie Baker, Morgan Lake and Jazmin Sawyers as well as the England Athletics U15, U17 and U20 Indoor Championships with Thea Brown, Cleo Agyepong, Success Eduan and Ashley Nemits.

Youth Development Manager Scott Grace also joins to talk about the PB Awards, an exciting incentive to keep young athletes in the sport.

Until a few years ago, running was something 27-year-old Sam Harrison did just for fun and to keep fit.

After joining an athletics club for the first time in 2018, her tumbling times and the guidance of her coach Vince Wilson, encouraged her to take the sport more seriously.

That resulted in a first Great Britain vest in 2020, before she made England Athletics' Commonwealth Games squad for the 10,000m last summer.

The fact that Sam finished sixth was an incredible achievement. She tells host Alex Seftel that along the way, she has had to give up some of her social life, and balance training alongside a busy job in a dental practice.

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.

Lorna Boothe is a respected coach and administrator who won the 1978 Commonwealth Games 100m hurdles title as an athlete. She was a team manager for British Athletics for nine year which included the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

In this episode of England Athletics' Coaching Voices podcast series, she talks to Tom McNab about her transition from the track to the boardroom, the structure of competition within the sport, and the importance of high quality training for coaches.

Peter Warden, a two-time medallist at the 1966 Commonwealth Games and former national coach, is the guest for the third part of England Athletics' Coaching Voices podcast series, which aims to capture the wisdom of renowned coaches.

Predominantly a self-taught hurdler, he has coached ten English Schools champions during a distinguished career which led him to be awarded with a British Empire Medal for services to athletics in 2019. At the time, he joked in an interview that he has been so engrossed in the sport, that he'll one day be buried in a long jump pit.

High jump coach Carol Jackson is the guest for the second part of England Athletics' Coaching Voices podcast series which looks to capture expertise, personality and opinion from renowned coaches.

Carol is an accomplished coach and event organiser who has worked with the likes of Olympic silver medallist Robbie Grabarz and former British record holder Mark Naylor, but there is one thing about her that may surprise you.

"Never in my life have I cleared a high jump bar," she says. "I was a long jumper...I loved athletics but I was the basic, good team member that would do any event that you wanted me to...but for the points.

In this episode, she talks to interviewer Tom McNab about the biggest influences on her career and her desire to increase the number of female role models.
