DAN BRAMBLE Q&A INTERVIEW – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website, in which DAN chatted with JOHN SHEPHERD about his training, technique and more

AW: Tell us a little about how you got started in athletics. Did you always do the long jump
DB: I started athletics via taekwondo, I always used to jump far on to the mat we had at the start of the sessions and so I got referred to an athletics club. Between athletics I used to play football, I swam and later into my teens I turned to more extreme sport such as BMX riding, skate boarding and Parkour, or free running – the latter of which I feel helped my jumping because it was pretty much an extreme version of plyometrics.

AW: How was the Commonwealth Games experience? And what have been your career highlights?
DB: The Commonwealths were everything I could have asked for – an amazing location, an amazing life in the holding camp and in the village too. Just knowing that we were all there for the same purpose but from such different backgrounds and sports made for a really unique experience that I can’t compare to any other. So far, my career highlight was the World Championships in Beijing in 2015. That really gave me a taste of what it’s like to compete on the big scale and gave me that real hunger for athletics. (DAN jumped 7.83m but missed out on making the final where GREG RUTHERFORD won with 8.41m – Ed.)

AW: When did you realise that you had a talent for the long jump?
DB: I feel I’ve always had a bit of natural bounce. As a baby my mum used to say that I’d cry if I was taken out of my baby bouncer, so those “early sessions” must have really done me well! I realised I was actually not bad at long jump quite later on when I jumped 7.91m in 2013 – then it finally clicked that maybe I could do this as more than a hobby.

AW: Who has motivated you throughout your career?
DB: My parents and friends have really motivated, whether it’s taking me to competitions or daring me that I couldn’t jump a certain distance … they’ve all helped push me in different ways. I think as a youngster watching IRVING SALADINO (2008 Olympic champion) jump huge distances almost effortlessly really inspired me to try and do exactly the same … also JONATHAN EDWARDS, seeing jumps events executed almost perfectly is so pleasing to watch.

AW: Who is/have been your coaches?
DB: My first coach was a guy called PAT CORNELL. I stayed with him from when I started athletics until I was around 18 when I then joined LARRY ACHIKE (1998 Commonwealth Games triple jump champion) and his group. After he moved away in 2012 I went to FRANK ATTOH, who I’m still with.

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”. The reason I changed, was in November last year “Gmail” put a limit of 100 addresses that users could send to in a 24-hour period, and currently I send to approximately 850 members each issue.

On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
