1960 - the bastion of T&F Athletics @ Golspie HS was delivering PV Champions coached by @ShettlestonHarr own Norman Brown. Thank you, C Munro and SCOTSTATS for reminding us of vault's history in the Gaidhealtachd. We're sure the event will develop in years to come. GoVault

@kenallan123 @GPVS2017 @scotathletics @sportscotland It could be suggested that all the "of the year" recipients are better coaches now than then, Ken. An Academy with clear performance indicators allows SAL/SS to induct the appropriately qualified coaches into the Academy It recognises the CPD required to be the best GoVault 🧡🖤

@GPVS2017 @scotathletics @sportscotland Innovative, Interesting, Relevant, Brian - I like this way better than any award for an athlete’s performance. The Development Coach of the Year (which I have been a recipient of) is simply the same as the Performance Coach of the Year but with a Younger Athlete.

Not a lot being said about the athletes that went down south for English u15/17 championships. I know there were a few and a few good medal winners. Congratulations to the athletes and their coaches 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Dean won 200m 21.44 -1.0 and Jenna 3rd in the high jump 1.65 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve not stopped thinking about Ben Gregory over the weekend. Easily the nicest guy you’ll meet in athletics, always having words of encouragement and a will for everyone to succeed. Now he needs us to give it back to him. You can do it Ben, we’re all right behind you ❤️@bengregz

@RonnocHenderson Fantastic set of responses to your question, Connor Now the difficult part How do you take the information, order the information and then present it. Perhaps, T&F should talk to the Mike Johnston and the Road and Cross Commission and learn from how they set about making change

Loved competing at Scottish Champs this weekend 👊🏽 I’ve seen multiple tweets about how it’s lost its touch and had low numbers! Would love to hear how you think it could be changed or brought ‘Back to life’…?

These athletes committed everything to achieve their goal, they went through a lot of ups and downs but more importantly came out the downs as mature confident athletes and even through the champs there was a lot to learn and grew from, 2 athletes, 2 finalists and 1 medalist 🤯

@Scott_Simpson_ Perhaps we should celebrate, Selectors are selecting Teams for the reasons above and because our coaching talent develop more athletes than the places available. Let's develop more professional, coaches and give selectors a harder task. I say well done coaches - now GoVault🧡🖤

As for having to select a “small” number of athletes from a much larger pool of athletes who have the Q standard… I don’t envy selectors… that is a very difficult task. Everyone will have their own opinion but policies (agree with them or not) have been followed.

Please stop bashing home country federations and selectors… the team size quota is dictated by the Commonwealth Games Federation and is based on capacity / numbers across all sports and all nations - both of which have significantly increased in the last 20 years.
