Great jumping! I remember Aston Moore from back in the day. Is he still your coach?

Saw him on TV a few times when he was competing and also in Athletics Weekly (when it was a print magazine!). He's had a fantastic coaching career.

Oh nice! He really is a brilliant coach, has such a great eye but more importantly he is a great people person, really gets to know each one of the group and brings out the best in us! So happy he got an MBE last year🥹
