 Hang in here with the idea, but if Great Britain does achieve its stated goal of finishing fourth in the Olympic medals table in 2012, we may have to attribute much of the success to a Gulf War military leader. If you ask a group of the best young sports coaches in the country, they will tell you that they have learnt as much about their trade from Patrick Cordingley as any other.
