Tokyo Preview # 5, Hannah Brier runs 400 meters
For most of the athletes, the dates of the World Cup were highlighted months ago. Hannah Brier, 400 m running Wales, hardly gave a second thought. In fact, he and his partner ordered a vacation in mid-September. He ran 52.29 at the British Championship and finished the 7th place, so he was good for the top two standards of Tokyo’s choice.
Rhys Williams train him, the former GB 400 m, which he says.Rhys is brilliant. I really really enjoy Rhys to have as a coach. He is the most positive person I’ve ever met, no matter how I feel. It can be the worst day at work, and Rhys will go, “right, come, spots.” Remember that in 10 years you will look at such days and you would like you to still do it. “I think it’s a unique side that he brings to the training he has done all that. He was athlete. He knows exactly what to retire of sports, and he has gone as you really need to enjoy the time you now need to enjoy. He is a perfectionist. Everything is very detailed. Everything is ok. He really cares and he really wants the best for me in my presentation. “
Hannah is not a full-time to get started, a sponsile athlete. He works on Monday to Friday 9-5 as a young employee who helps “young people who are not in education.” with: of their own problems. “
He exercises or after work or after work. He admits that it is difficult.
However, he sees advantages to his lifestyle. “Both parts are complemented by such a bad day in terms of such a bad day, it’s not a bad day when I’m dealing with a few really big problems, but I really help.” And I really love.
He was in the GB preparation camp when I talked to him.I absolutely love it. How is it quite surreal? A week ago I didn’t really know. I was going to be here. Suddenly I’m in Japan so it’s a Surreal type. “
He describes the process. “At British champions, I was really well running and finished, but quite many girls were standing in front of me in the classification table, so I was not really going to gather for the worlds. I had heard some rumors made when I picked up, so quickly packed my spots, lifts and all my other gear. The holiday turned into a training camp. Then I had a phone call to confirm. It’s like this to actually deserve it – All the early morning sessions, all that evening sessions I really don’t want to do. “
He then had to negotiate for three weeks of work. All the young people I work with and said: “Here I will end three weeks. But there is a good reason for that. I am in Japan. And they looked like, woe, I can’t believe you do it. It’s absolutely surprising. Then everyone went like Google, my name. And that was quite ridiculous because they were like. “I can’t believe that you kept this secret from us. This is why you are always so positive. And that was truly lovely. I hope some aspects of my sports life will be transferred to the life of these young people.
Now being here is surrounded by all these amazing athletes and learning a lot, everything is completely and quite worth it.
