Remote training and technology in athletics - Dan Greaves

Published on: 24th February, 2021

Dan Greaves has competed and won medals at 5 Paralympic Games - with his debut in Sydney in 2000.

The delay to the Tokyo Games has helped "Discus Dan" who has recovered from a career threatening injury he picked up in 2019.

Dan's coach is in Dubai and his coaching sessions are via an ipad. He's used to it. His previous coach was based in Arizona.

We also talk about Dan's role on the Athlete's Commission and his thoughts on the new 'super shoes' which have helped some very fast times in recent weeks.

Dan's now a dad of 2 but in great shape

Dan also presents That Greaves and Rooney Sports Podcast - and they've got some great guests. Check them out here

About the Podcast

Destination Tokyo

I’ve covered 5 Olympic and 5 Paralympic Games at home and abroad. Tokyo 2020 was to have been numbers 6. So how are the athletes preparing during Covid times. And what are they learning in the run up to the Games. The Podcast lasts around 10 mins and comes out daily, Monday to Friday. I’m also using it to raise money for Maggie’s Cancer Centres to thank them for the help they’ve given my wife and family during her bowel cancer journey.
