We first need to address our biases. Yes, we ALL have biases. Have you heard the story of the American Orchestra who held blind auditions? The number of women who were selected into the orchestra increased 5-fold. Coincidence? Definitely not. As Verna explains, how can we all move towards merit and away from preference? Well, Verna suggests we interrupt bias – correct inappropriate comments and language, ask questions and become an ally. She also encourages us to promote inclusion – consider your own behaviour, show interest, pay attention to the small things and notice language. https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/blog/comfort-zone-no-thanks monthly 0.5 2022-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/7c518418-f1bc-4d77-90c5-7a9dbb5baffd/7a72b8b3-efea-4b2e-ab0b-6db982024509.JPG Blog - Comfort zone? No thanks. Overall, I enjoyed the experience of presenting my ideas, connecting with people from different areas of expertise and different countries. Reflecting that my imposter syndrome is healthy; keeping me honest and reminding me that I do not know everything. Presenting the training approaches I use consolidates my “why” and opens the floor to other coaches and professionals to ask questions and make alternative suggestions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/35ef5af4-256b-497d-892b-293a0e59509b/IMG_0233.jpg Blog - Comfort zone?

But what happens on the 9th March? The campaigns finish and we go back to the status quo? I do feel the world is starting to pay attention to many biases that exist, whether conscious or unconscious. Is ‘paying attention to’ enough? No, the answer is no, it is not. So how do we move from highlighting these biases to taking action to change behaviour and culture? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/e8283a69-3dd7-4f70-8b0d-20d2e8b14649/IMG_6600.jpg Blog - We need a bigger table ….. - Now, don’t get me wrong, I do not need a pity party, far from it. I am doing very well (if I say so myself) but what about the women who are missing opportunities, what about the young women I am coaching, what about the female athletes who see this behaviour day in day out? I am pretty certain I will get to where I want to be in life, I am too stubborn not too. I have realised the only way to create change, is to be the change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/d0a107c5-2b1f-4207-bb24-04c0ed1093f9/IMG_6174.JPG Blog - We need a bigger table ….. - A few years ago, I would’ve told you I have not been subject to gender bias. Now having been coaching for a little longer and spending more time reading around feminism, I can tell you I have and continue to be, on an almost daily basis. I have heard some terrible stories from female colleagues about how they have been treated in our sport. If you would like to understand more about the kind of behaviours I am talking about, read this report “Achieving Gender Equity in High Performance Athletics Coaching in the UK”. https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/blog/reinvention monthly 0.5 2022-01-17 https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/blog/how-do-you-turn-valves-into-actions monthly 0.5 2022-01-17 https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/blog/reflection monthly 0.5 2022-01-17 https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/blog/who-we-are monthly 0.5 2024-04-09 https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/services daily 0.75 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/087e3abb-7df2-4f4b-83ea-42c2ffc84c7a/4fd8f0f5-d750-4dd9-b3a6-105dde7dd3e8.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/c8fb0d28-f51d-4485-9274-74f108377527/7a72b8b3-efea-4b2e-ab0b-6db982024509+3.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/fbdf63c8-11db-4abb-a97a-7e367ff1ba7e/21caaf89-803d-456d-ac3e-2143a0012b4e+2.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/728d77a4-c367-49d2-a849-ace23ea4134d/a0dc76f9-c4c5-42a0-b2ae-202d5f61bbe2+3.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/7beeb3c2-bbd4-407f-826f-287394f1619d/tempImageIrAomI.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/dd070a6a-9f98-4cd6-be08-7d8df82fc23d/5486a480-83bc-4ac2-be93-6d32630921ca.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/600ccbb9-5bee-4d97-b287-dabb0cdc5ad1/D2879F94-E9CA-481F-A1AD-76982C4CEFF1+2.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/e75983ca-ffc5-44af-83c4-3499dff2e2c2/IMG_1428.JPG Services https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2024-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/fbb6424b-9c1e-424d-9339-ac8efd97d8cb/Laura+Turner_218.jpg Home https://www.lauraturner.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/c7d19738-3cca-497e-a9ad-93458858b9c1/768a5551-1516-4779-8032-e980fbc6a3c2.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/cc8edf09-25e6-4dc6-9503-05ef6d171361/fd48e5e6-75e2-442e-8302-d4f263a4d2e3.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/69e45509-09fb-40d3-945d-eaddd1946f0e/103036779_10.jpg About - From playground to the Olympics……….. At the age of 10 I joined Harrow AC, training there a couple of times a week with Jean Browne and then Sylvia Parker. When I was 16 I joined a new coach, Madeline Cobb, and specialised in sprints and hurdles. Although I was often the best in the county, my performance on a national level was average at best, finishing last in my heat at the first two English Schools competitions I competed in. Following a particularly frustrating hurdles session on a training camp in 2002, we decided to focus my efforts on the 100m and was rewarded that season with my first GB vest. What followed was a ten-year international athletics career that I can only have dreamed of a few years earlier. The pinaccle of my career was competing in the 100m at the Beijing Olympics in 2008; during my career I also competed in 4 World Championships, 2 Commonwealth Games (winning Gold and Silver medals), 2 European Championships, World Indoor Championships and World Student Games. I won a total of 8 National Titles and retired with personal bests of 100m 11.11; 200m 23.29. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/f36fb2a5-c6ba-47a8-b7ae-65206968c7c2/Laura-5.jpg About - Athlete to Coach I was coached by Linford Christie from 2008 and it was Linford who is to blame for first introducing me to coaching. I retired from competitive athletics in April 2014 and was already casually coaching an athlete who Linford had asked me look after. That summer Ellie Kormis (nee Spain) approached me about setting up West London Track and Field, an expansion of West London Pole Vault she founded in 2012. My group of one soon became two, three etc etc and I officially started my first training group in the 2014-15 season. I have now coached multiple Great Britain representatives and National medalists (Senior & Junior) across sprints, hurdles and combined events. My first step back into International athletics came in 2016 when I was coaching an athlete who competed at the World Junior Championships. I started my Team Coach roles with British Athletics in 2017 where I successfully developed the Futures Relay Programme which has produced multiple medals at Junior and U23 Championships alongside athletes moving into the Senior relay programme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede488e622c36173f621597/b58ee745-077f-40a1-8425-b85ff5ba45d0/Laura-6.jpg About - Head Coach - West London Track & Field I lead our inter-disciplinary team of coaches and therapists working alongside athletes from grass-roots to senior internationals, based at Brunel University.

My passion for sport started at a young age, an enthusiastic member of many school sports teams. My favourite past time was racing my classmates in the playground at lunch time which is where my speed was first spotted.
