It’s been an incredible experience seeing the development of the site down here and also witnessing first hand the planning that has gone in to the pursuit of gold medals.
I believe that my business delivers a really good service. I have a great team of trainers and therapists, our assessment process is very thorough and our programming addresses the unique demands of each of our clients.
However, spending a week with a good friend of mine who is the Strength and Conditioning coach to GB Sailing puts things into a completely different perspective. The programmes he has created have been written four years in advance!
They are all broken down into weekly sections to finely tune these athletes and all programmes are compiled jointly with the physiologist, the strength and conditioning coach, the physiotherapist, the nutritionist and the lifestyle advisor and constantly monitored in order to find that extra something that can make all the difference.
A survey out today states that half of Londoners are not excited about the games. All I can say to that is they should spend a few days down here in Portland and I promise they wouldn’t fail to be inspired by the facilities, the athletes, the support staff and the potential for amazing success this summer.
Led by triple gold medal-winner Ben Ainslie CBE, Team GB has topped the Sailing medals table at the last three Olympic Games they medalled in 6 out of the 11 sailing events in Beijing 2008 and have high hopes of going even better on home waters. The motto for 2012 is “Inspire a generation” and with 100 days still to go I have absolutely no doubt that The Olympic games in London will do exactly that.
