Inspirational Sports Ambassadors

Daley Thompson

Double Olympic champion Daley Thompson became the first decathlete to hold the European, World and Olympic titles simultaneously.

Daley Thompson's achievements include four world records, two Olympic gold medals, three Commonwealth titles, and wins in the World and European Championships. He is not only an inspiration to both children and adults alike, he is also considered by many to be the greatest decathlete of all time.

" As a Double Olympic Champion and a father of five, I know the importance of giving children a positive sports experience. First Step coaches act as role models and aim to inspire children in all areas of the curriculum.

I work closely with the management team giving advice and sharing my experiences of what inspired me as a child."
