“I’m one of those athletes that lets a problem develop, hoping it will go away. When it doesn’t, I rock up at the clinic giving little or no notice saying we’ve got 10 mins to sort this out! An exasperated John smiles and nods knowingly and takes it all in his stride. John has always found time in his busy schedule. Last year I dropped myself on him 3 weeks before I was due to go to Kona for the ironman world champs. John couldnt have done more. I encroached on his time, took liberties and this stoic deep thinking Yorkshire man never once thought of saying ‘can’t’ or’ no’. He approaches his task methodically and professionally and explains what has happened, why, and what can be done. Good agony aunt too!”
