James West is a local athlete who has been selected for Great Britain last summer. He is a 1500m / 3000m runner who is on the cusp of making the Olympic team, he is one for who the years delay may well be beneficial. After attending Loughborough Uni, he has spent two years in Oregon USA where he has continued to improve.

Angel Lopez Caceres (Physiotherapist) has treated him while in the UK and then continued to advise with regular Skype calls while he has been away. At present he is in Lockdown at Altitude where he has been able to continue to train.

This interview is an interesting insight showing the mixture of normal life / development and the world of an elite athlete. I think the comments regarding his later puberty demonstrates how parents should not judge children’s abilities at the age of 13 or 14.
