I had the pleasure in working with Sue at the National Coaching Foundation (now Sportscoach UK), Youth Sport Trust and at UK Sport. She is an inspirational figure who has changed the face of sport in the UK at school, community and international levels. Over the years I have enjoyed her council and been inspired by her vision.
