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

If you criticise something then you have to have an alternative, but we do have to try and improve things.

I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.

But I sometimes think we have too much of a fixation about 2012.

I know what it takes to get to the top.

We have got to go out there and deliver, go on the streets and find athletes, improve facilities around the country and find coaches. We have got to go out there and search for a star.

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.
