Athlete and Coach. Will Clarke talks about his approach to coaching

On Tuesday this week (HERE), we published an interview with Great Britain’s Will Clarke, recorded last week at Sands Beach in Lanzarote, where Will talked about recovery from his 2017 injury and his plans and excitement for the season ahead, feeling fit, fresh and motivated.

As well as being a fine athlete, Will is also combining his extensive experience with coaching a small number of athletes too, including 2017 Kona Age-Group podium finisher, Ruth Purbrook.

Chris Hovenden took the opportunity to follow up with Will about his approach to coaching, learning from his own mistakes and gets a few pieces of advice along the way.
