To have her as my coach is something pretty special.”I have been taught amazing skills and tricks by Mrs Lynch since I was 11, and she has always backed my abilities and given me so much confidence; that’s what makes her an all-round awesome coach and role model. I want to do better and train harder because of Mrs Lynch.”I am and always will be forever privileged to be able to say ‘I was coached by Lucy Lynch’.”
