COMMONWEALTH Games heptathlon gold medallist Kelly Sotherton is already planning for a future career in coaching.
Isle of Wight athlete Sotherton, 28, believes she can become a success in what currently is a male-dominated area.
Sotherton, who aims to qualify for the European Championships at next week's trials in Manchester, said: "There are women coaches who do a marvellous job at a lower grade. But I want to operate at the top and try to go all the way."
