Podcast - Episode 116 - Mark Silva - Leadership with British Bobsleigh Performance Director

On this week's episode of #Leadership -  What's on your mind? I speak to Mark Silva.    Mark Silva and Graham Richardson have been appointed as British Bobsleigh Performance Director and Head Coach respectively for the new Olympic cycle. The pair will lead British Bobsleigh’s pursuit of success in Milan Cortina in 2026 as bobsleigh returns to UK Sport funding for the first time in four years. Silva steps up from his role as Bobsleigh Manager within the GB set up, while Richardson joins after seven successful seasons with the Canadian federation.   They share a combined 45 years of bobsleigh experience and will be aiming to build on last season’s hugely impressive eight top-tier medals when the new race season starts in November.  “We are delighted to have both Mark and Graham heading up the British Bobsleigh programme as we move into a new Olympic cycle,” said BBSA Chair, Joanna Poulton.   “The team enjoyed great success on the World Cup circuit last season and we are confident that Mark and Graham will help our athletes continue to perform at a high level over the next four years.  We also look forward to seeing the growth of the next generation of talent looking to represent the country in Milan Cortina and beyond.”   Find Mark's socials below:   Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-silva-2842a982/ Website - https://www.thebbsa.co.uk/ Find Stuart's socials below:   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/STARDevelopm...  LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuartwad...  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stuart_wadd...  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2x3...  Spotify - #Leadership – What’s on your mind?   Make sure to hit SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed and thanks for watching.   See you next week...
