Brilliant - well done all - maybe more important than the money from the bursaries is the mentoring that the ambassadors could provide into the mindset and training that took them to the very top and made us all so proud. When a Brit excels at sport, it gives the whole country a lift and puts a spring in our step - PM pls take note.
As the father of an aspiring footballer, I often listen to the coaches and think to myself, its a one fits all pep talk. pass and move for example. I often wished I could find a retired ex pro striker who could mentor my kid abt the professional secrets of playing as a striker at the top level - not everyone makes it into media or coaching and we lose their experience which is a great shame.
