I don't think there are really enough meetings in Britain for our athletes to compete properly, and because of this a lot of the talent we have has been stunted.

I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful.

I coach a few guys and they work very, very hard, but in our day we did it because we just loved it.

I have got better things to do in working with my athletes who I feel are going to be involved in 2012.

My first love is the sport, and it will always be my priority.

I think it's great that they are getting funding, but it's just too easy. They don't have to work for it. We did it because we had pride, because we loved it.

I think it is good for youngsters to see me at 45 still jogging around the track. If me being here gives them a boost then thats great.
