Olympic 1500 metre silver medalist Nick Willis told Sportal NZ that he has struggled to come to grips with the role a coach has in sport.
Willis, the latest in a line of middle distance stars from New Zealand who came under the influence of coaching legends like Arthur Lydiard and Arch Jelley, said it had taken him years to finally accept just how to use coaching to supplement his talent, but that advice has seen him avoid the rush to take up altitude training.

'I was getting overwhelmed by the city, not even thinking about the race, he said at a Millrose Games press conference Tuesday. So I came into the race not knowing anything about the track. It wasn't until we were running where I was like, Wow, this one seems a little too small.
