Preston Athletics Club
I recently joined up the club again. Jeff Hawkins is the coach there and has done a great job in getting some really good juniors up and running. Very organized and motivational coach. It is amazing how many kids these unpaid coaches help. My father was a very successful coach at the club just like Gus Puopolo is at Ringwood. They produce champions but help all. And all these guys do it for nothing. And they all do a great job and in fact right up to the standard if not better than many professional strength and conditioning people around the place. Just no money in Athletics and thus little kudos unless one produces an Olympic Medallist. There is a nice synthetic track at the lake now and recently I saw Adam Basil training there so must be a good track. Unfortunately there is no fence so on nice days it can be a bit crowded with bikes and festivals.
