Line 11: ==Olympic athlete coaching== It has been widely ~~alleged~~stated that he coached the [[South Africa]]n sprinter [[Reggie Walker (sprinter)\|Reggie Walker]] to a gold medal at the [[1908 Summer Olympics\|1908 Olympic Games]] in London but this is an error and Walker was actually coached by former sprinter Sam Wisdom <ref>https://www.playingpasts.co.uk/articles/athletics/mussabini-myths-lacking-wisdom/ {{Bare URL inline\|date=August 2024}}</ref> . He coached further gold medal winners at the [[1912 Summer Olympics\|1912 Olympic Games]], including [[Willie Applegarth]].<ref name=hall/> He was appointed as full-time coach by [[Polytechnic Harriers]] from 1913 until his death from [[diabetes]] in 1927<ref name=r2/> aged 59. He brought a systematic approach to coaching, rather than just being a masseur. For example, he used the techniques of [[Eadweard Muybridge]] to photograph runners' actions and techniques at the finish.<ref name=r2/>
