In 2001 Sergey Sizhanov moved from Vladimir Russia to coach gymnastics at what was then called The notts School Of gymnastics in Nottingham. His incredible legacy is still being felt today throughout gymnastics clubs in Great Britain with many of his former athletes now coaching the next generation. Sergey is now the head of the Irish National team program and is based at the training centre in Dublin full time. The life lessons that I was lucky enough to learn through spending twenty one years with one of the very best gymnastics coaches in the world have had a huge impact on me as a young man. In this episode I talk about ten of the very best lessons he taught me throughout my career. And this is my story.
