Back in the summer of 2012 the RYA’s Emma Slater caught up with RYA Olympic Development Squad Manager and coach to RS:X sailor Nick Dempsey to talk about all things coaching.

Barrie chats about his role as a coach working with the squad and with Nick; how his role differs in training compared to his involvement during regattas; the pressures coaches face, the qualities required to be a successful coach and what he loves about coaching.
