When you see athletes like me win gold medals, you only see the finished product, you dont see the real effort that the likes of Ron have put into making that product. Without the Ron Roddans of this world, you would have no sport.

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

I know what it takes to get to the top.

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

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 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.
