Having Dame Kelly Holmes involved in working with future Manx sport stars and coaches will be a recipe for success.
That's the view of Isle of Man Sport Development Officer Paul Bridson after a new Sporting Excellence Programme was announced yesterday with Kelly Holmes Education leading the scheme.
The partnership will also involve Isle of Man Sport, the Isle of Man Coaches Association and the Isle of Man Commonwealth Games Association.
Paul Bridson says recent visits to the Isle of Man, including the Commonwealth Youth Games last September, have inspired the double Olympic Champion.
He says Dame Kelly Holmes is impressed with both facilities and talent on the island:-
Football: Huge Div 2 title showdown between Onchan and Foxdale
Honda to only run Superstock machines at North West 200
Rugby: Southern Nomads U15's win Cheshire Junior Shield
Lee Johnston won't race at North West 200
Athletics: Top-20 finishes for Lockley and Kelly
Football: Foxdale heading to the premier league
