E20 Alan Rapley. Olympic Captaincy and a thousand tins of baked beans – A conversation with a coach developer and Olympic swimmer.

What was it like do we think before lottery funding came in post 1996 Olympics? How did athletes support themselves? The title of today's episode may strike you as curious but all will be revealed. Alan Rapley was the 1996 Olympic Swim Team captain for Team GB and in this discussion shares some incredible insights from his journey, especially how perhaps the entire philosophy of coaches has changed in the last 25 years. Alan now works for UK Coaching and supports the next generation of aspiring coaches through his work as a coach developer.  You can follow Alan on Twitter and find out more about UK Coaching on their website.  All our Rogue Monkey Podcast links can be found here: https://linktr.ee/roguemonkeypod If you are a business looking to find new levels of performance, you can find out more about the collaborative venture between our host Kevin and E44 guest Richard Cheetham MBE here: https://www.twenty17.co.uk/
