Damian Ball will be representing Team Ireland as he coaches Oliver Dingley during the upcoming Olympics.

In 1999 Harrogate Borough Council named Damian Ball diving development officer and head coach at The Hydro in Harrogate.

Both Jack Laugher and Oliver Dingley were coached by Damian Ball back in 2010.

Leanne Jalland, chair of the Harrogate District Diving Club, said this about the Olympian’s time training in Harrogate:

“What made Harrogate special in terms of diving talent and coaching back in the days when Damian was Head Coach and Jack and Oliver were diving at the club was a combination of hardworking talented coaches and athletes with the resources to allow them to fulfill their potential.”

The 2020 Tokyo Olympic games will start on July 23.
