Arch

Arch Jelly coach of John Walker World Mile Record holder and incredible athlete and Olympic Champion.
Margo Jennings from Oregon, Coach of Maria Motula gold medalist in the Womens 800m final at the Sydney Olympics. And coach to Dame Kelly Holmes Double Gold medalist in the Womens 800 and 1500m at the Athens Olympics. I was at a coaching workshop in Christchurch this afternoon and what a great imformation absorbing time this was. We look up to these people with great respect but yet they are very humble and genorous and in most cases have given their time to help others reach their dream for no reward apart from the excitement of seeing or hearing their Athlete become an Olympic Champion. Arch is 90 yes 90,I want to look that good at 90 and Margo is 66. Its not my best photo but today was about being humbled in the presence of 2 of the best middle distance coaches in the world. Margo was talking about motivational Quotes. The one I liked best and fits this world perfectly, Accept the fact that some days you are the Pigeon and some days you are the Statue. Arch Jelly helped John Walker overcome a foot injury during his training and later on received a letter from an Athlete who heard about John's injury and treatment and wanted to have some of this arch jelly for his foot.
