Alex Pope:
Worked, liaised and trained with, supported and competed against truly talented people ranging from World Junior, European Championship, Commonwealth Games and Olympic and Paralympic medallists and participants in not only athletics but other sports including amateur boxing, weight lifting, bobsleigh and skeleton. As a mathematics, physics and games teacher with over a decade of experience, I have successfully coached many sporting teams to district and county level. In athletics, I have coached County medallists and champions, County School representatives, Area/Regional champions, National and English School champions, many athletes to top 10/5/podium position in the UK, National Record holders and International Champions for their age in a variety of disciplines.
While I have been a lifelong member of Blackheath and Bromley Harriers, I work with/coach athletes from any club with the view of helping them in the niche that is combined events and improving their performances. I contribute to Momentum Track Club's Kestrel Program when I can and coaching a variety of events and with Invicta East Kent with their aspiring combined eventers.
I have run Combined Events development days, worked with EA on CE talent days in various locations across the country, regularly meet with HCAF members at UKA CE steering meetings and a proud member of BACA acting as an admin for the BACA Combined Events Groups helping with supporting grass roots and developing coaches up and down the country, setting up regional training camps and hosting monthly catch ups.
I coach 7 days a week and absolutely love it, if you would like to get into combined events or are looking for someone to talk to about combined events (I know I am! Can't get enough!), please get in contact me via the contact area on here or e-mail:
