Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.

It is with great sadness Glasgow Sport learned of the passing of athletics coach John Melvin earlier this week.John’s energy,dedication and knowledge of athletics particularly high jump were unmatched. Thoughts and love are with his wife Evelyn,his family and all who loved him.

Let’s hear Britain’s Nike paid pundits and the UKA and IAAF administrators respond to this. THEY WERE MEALY MOUTHED TO A MAN AND WOMAN ABOUT THE SALAZAR DOPING.
"I joined Nike because I wanted to be the best female athlete, ever. Instead, I was emotionally and physically abused by a system designed by Alberto and endorsed by Nike," says Mary Cain. nyti.ms/2Cm6SkX

A year ago today I was unable to walk having suffered a stroke. Thanks to the mindset learned as an Olympian, 2 months later I was back running! Today I’m thankful to my family, friends, fans, and @mjp360 for the incredible support! #strokesurvivor #health #Olympics #motivation
