THE former coach of Olympic sprinter Danny Talbot has given up coaching citing a lack of love for the sport, writes Kevin Fahey.
Dan Cossins, who has coached numerous international athletes from his base in Bath including 200m sprinter Talbot, whom he took from the school sports field to the 2012 Olympics, issued a statement saying it was time for a new direction in his life.
“Over the last two years, I have gradually fallen out of love with the sport, and as I have learned more about myself as a person, the desire to be involved has gotten further and further away from me.” the 31-year-old said in a statement released last month.
