Six athletes - Hannah Brooks, Dani Christmas, Hannah England, Jo Finch, Emily Goodall and Nikki Maddick - were selected by Kelly to attend an Educational Camp during the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia, from 15 to 31 March 2006.
This was a valuable opportunity for the girls to experience what it is like at a major international championships and how easy it could be to get distracted by all the excitement and other events going on. They had the opportunity to not only watch the athletics action at the MCG but also visit the Athletes’ Village.
Training was also an important part of the camp and the athletes experienced the effects of jet lag on training performance and were able to focus their minds away from distractions at home.
