:21:17. > :21:20.for the council, Adrian Hinchliffe's been vital to making City of Leeds
:21:21. > :21:23.the UK's top performance centre. But he's only ever been employed

:21:28. > :21:30.as a full-time coach of And the parting of the ways
:21:31. > :21:37.hasn't gone down well. Ady has taken me from a boy

:21:42. > :21:46.and his organisation, his professionalism,

:21:53. > :21:55.in my career is brilliant, I just wish it could have
:21:56. > :21:57.lasted a lot longer. It is a massive shame,
:21:58. > :22:03.from the bottom of my heart, He has his reasons for why
:22:04. > :22:11.he is leaving and I think to be The hard work that he's put
:22:12. > :22:18.in and what he's sacrificed to create such a brilliant training
:22:19. > :22:21.environment here, with such amazing divers, who have achieved more
:22:22. > :22:23.than anyone has ever achieved in Britain, to then be
:22:24. > :22:31.thrown back in his face, it just feels awful, to be honest,
:22:32. > :22:36.mate, it feels like a massive insult to what Ady is and his legacy that
:22:37. > :22:39.he's leaving behind. It just feels like British Diving
:22:40. > :22:41.have really overlooked how much of a key role
:22:42. > :22:43.he is in British diving. I tried to engage the powers that be
:22:44. > :22:47.recently to make sure that I have a platform to continue
:22:48. > :22:49.and to capitalise on especially the success we had in Rio

:23:13. > :23:15.the fact that he's going... The Lottery has brought so much
:23:16. > :23:24.to British diving and so much opportunity and I've been
:23:25. > :23:26.a benefactor of that and I've been able to achieve
:23:27. > :23:28.at the highest level, We've got fantastic young coaches
