On the night of her 60th birthday, Sally Goldner climbed on to the top rope of the wrestling ring, to the roars of the crowd, and launched herself on to her competitors with a missile dropkick. The crowd roared. For a second, she was completely airborne, before landing on her opponents. Wow, I'm doing this,' she thought. Exhilarating. I couldn't think of anything I'd rather be doing on my birthday.
Five years ago, finding a coach followed a predictable path. You searched a directory, shortlisted three names, booked discovery calls, and picked your favourite.
