"It was a fantastic thing to be a part of". Adam Elliott, coach of Paris 2024 Olympic gold medal winning triathlete Alex Yee, joined BBC News after an afternoon at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday to talk about how it felt to be part of such a special celebration of coaching.

It was a royal celebration for an extraordinary group of coaches. 300 coaches attended a very special event at Buckingham Palace, where UK Coaching patron, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, led the plaudits, celebrating their incredible dedication and hard work in supporting British athletes and their sports. “We believe that the UK benefits from being home to some of the best coaches in the world, and we feel it’s important to champion and celebrate their hard work in supporting British athletes and their sports.” said Dr Kate Baker, Director of Performance and People. She continued; “We have exceptional coaches across the UK, and I am so proud we are able to celebrate and recognise their incredible dedication and commitment to their sport. The event was in partnership with UK Coaching and UK Sport and recognised both summer and winter Olympic and Paralympic coaches for their invaluable contributions to supporting our world class athletes. https://lnkd.in/gNfhZw5G

Big shout out to UK Coaching and UK Sport for celebrating the unsung heros that are the coaches of the UK Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Thoroughly deserved. And a massive thank you to HRH The Princess Royal (Patron of U.K. Coaching) for welcoming us all into Buckingham Palace for such a great event. It was a special afternoon. Edit: I am definitely not a sports coach, but I do some work with UK Coaching which supports the amazing coaches on the ground.
