Club Coaches

We'd be lost without our coaches. The club can support members who are considering leading or coaching. There’s no correlation with being a fast runner - it’s far more important to be interested in helping others improve. If you're interested in getting involved then please speak to one of the existing coaches or leaders, or contact the Coaching Reps at coaching@windmilers.org.uk.
