'The effect of coaching is a deeper understanding of your approach and your capability and what you really want, how you want to develop. When I started, I always gave myself quite a short time period really because I thought, oh well, this will just be a quick experience, and then we'll call it a day and it would all be perhaps lighter - and actually that's not what I wanted - I really wanted it to be quite in-depth and constructive.

It was of a scale much larger than I had thought possible. You have no comprehension before you start as to how it will help you. And I'm sure people experience different things, but I think the scale of it is ever-growing.'
