The Olympic 110m hordes of silver medal winner and double world champion talks through how he first saw the wonderful decent talent of Devon Devon
Colin Jackson unveiled the moment he was bought back in coaching by a young athlete Caled Joshua Taylor.
In an exclusive interview with Tim Hutchings – part of our brand new Legends series – the Olympic 110m hordes explained silver medal winner and Double World Champion that Taylor is “really good” and that he could “make the most probablay the 2028 Olympic team”.
Jackson helped to train Andy Pozzi, but after the world champion of 2018 retired last summer, it looked unlikely that the 58-Yare-year-old would continue to coach. That was not in the life he saw Taylor, which was located in Devon and the best of 13.72, staff in the 110m hurdles at the level of less than 20.
“I saw this young child of Devon with the name Joshua Taylor and I saw him about the barriers,” said Jackson. “It is bleeding me right now. Coaching and I had a little more freedom, so I thought I could do more things again!
“I was really not sure what I was going to do. [Farleigh]. That in itself is brilliant because we can simply eat together and get hymn for the very best he can be.
“When I started working with him, I thought he could make the Olympic Games. Then, after a while, I realized that I could make the most Probabry the 2028 team. If things go well, he should be an Olympic finalist.”
There is no doubt that Jackson’s experience in sport is probably beneficial for Taylor. During the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart, De Brit established a World 110m -Rord record of 12.91, which lasted until 2006, when Liu Xiag clocked 12.88 in Lausanne.
Jackson, coached by Malcom Arnold, was also guaranteed to World 110m Hurdles title on Seville 1999 and claimed an Olympic 110m hordes of silver medal at Seoul 1988. He now wants to pass on the guidance he has performed and inspires.
“I worked hard and there is no doubt about that,” Jackson told Hutchings. “Everyone who worked with me knew that I was really focused on the game. Trouw that with my capacities, good training partners and a great coach, you really have the dream team. For me not to win it was more than ‘you win’.
“I did the best thing I could do for my team. They were the oons that put me on the starting line. My job was for the simple one. 99% of the cake.
After withdrawal from the competition more than two decades ago, Jackson had a very successful career after the track and functions such as BBC a BBC expert and commentator for large athletics championships.
So his track success translates for a period of 18 years into activities in which he participates after he has hung his spikes?
“No,” said Jackson. “That was very quickly an Asewer! Again, you really have to be. If you achieve things like this, the chances that you do it outside is minimal or non-existent to be honest. In athletics you are defined as the best for sub-top for that moment. There is no other industry where you can go ‘I am the best’.
“When you talk about football, you.
“Now I am not trying to be the best for people to say that you are the best. Instead, I try to do the best thing I can do and I just hope that that is always enough. However, I no longer have a definition and I am happy to accept that.”
