Grapevine Stories

Interview with Major Dickie Waygood

Dickie Waygood is High Performance Manager of the British three day event team. We had a chat recently, following the fantastic success of Team GB in Paris this summer that saw them take home Team Gold and Individual Bronze medals.

Dickie talks about leadership and his many years in the military that's stood him in such good stead for this role. He also tells us about the system that's in place with the team around him,  that seems to work like a well-oiled machine, enabling his athletes to perform at their very best.
