Coach Ayub, the National Programme Director welcomed Coach Leach, and his input, he spoke to the players about how the Programme can only improve with the interest of such experienced coaches. Coach Leach was impressed with the programme and enthused about the fact that there was also young kids (London O's flag) and young men (O's and Blitz youth) training in the same venue.
Later all the GB Lions staff spent time with Coach Leach talking about the goals of the programme and how it can improve, and Coach Leach offered some exciting insights. Having spent time coaching in Finland, Mike Leach understood the problems faced by the National programme.
