ABOUT THE AUTHOR
John Shepherd
Famous English Track & Field Coach, Author and former athlete
John Shepherd has found his passion for sport quite early in his childhood, when jumping over white (rather new) consecutive paving stones on the way to the sweet shop.
His carrier as a professional athlete became more serious at school before it started to take off with 22, representing England 14 times in sports events and travelling on various teams around the world.
Now, as well-known coach, his squad includes numerous athletes who’ve won national titles and are ranked very highly on the UK’s all-time lists. His passion for coaching is still long jump, but also sprints, triple jump and multi events.
