Joe McDonnell is an athletics sprint coach and part of the British Athletics coaching team.
Joe speaks to me from European Para-athletics European Championships in Bydgosczc in Poland.
He talks openly and candidly about the coaching issues over the last 12 months and his hopes for Tokyo. Joe believes individual welfare and development as a person comes way before athletic development.
