FLI coach Dave Lane has only been coaching me for the last year and a half of which in this time I have thoroughly enjoyed his coaching.  He is a coach who is professional yet friendly and someone with a lot of knowledge.  Training programmes are well designed and specific for each of his athletes. Dave and the other FLI coaches continue to develop their coaching knowledge regularly bringing new techniques and information to their training sessions and programmes.  As with all the FLI coaches, Dave has been involved in athletics for many years as both and athlete and as a coach and I believe that because he has been and still is an athlete it helps his understanding of athletics and athletes. He is willing to go the extra mile for his athletes and provided programmes and feedback for me while I was overseas for 6 months. The coaching is not one dimensional and he looks at the complete athlete in both body and mind.   

In the time that Dave has coached me and with only a 12 week build up I have won a National title in the 400 hurdles and taken 1.59 seconds on my personal best in the 400m (a discipline that I was not focusing on).
