Jessica Ennis's coach believes that the heptathlon star has all the quality required to scoop gold in the Olympics.
The 26-year-old enters the Games as favourite and Toni Minichiello said that she can draw inspiration from other famous British athletes, such as David Beckham and Jonny Wilkinson.
"Think Beckham against Greece - last kick, goal needed for England to qualify for World Cup. Bang, thank you very much," said Minichiello. "Think Wilkinson against Australia in 2003. One chance to win the Rugby World Cup final.
"There are only a handful of sports people who can rise to a challenge at times of extreme pressure. Who say to themselves, 'right, I need to do something here'. And they do. Jessica is one of those.
"Like Beckham and Wilkinson, Jess has that ability to say 'alright, let's go' and crank it up to beyond the capacity of others. Whether it's nature or nurture I really don't know."
Ennis is the current European champion and won gold at the World Championships in Berlin in 2009.
