* I have to post this, because I see SporTT posting about youth camps as if this is the answer to our problems*
T&T sporting authorities always amaze me with their lack of foresight. I will say something that has been said for years. So if I am a young boy or girl and I am watching the Olympics and I want to be future Olympian star swimmer for my country where do I go? How do I start? Is there any professional swimming clubs in Trinidad? Is there any serious programs? Every mid-yar school break we doing youth camps lol, youth camps are fun for children to keep out of trouble during school break. Instead I am talking about something serious to develop our talent and produce world beaters in sports like swimming, rowing, gymnastics, tennis. We need professional disciplined coaching which most likely will need to be hired from OUTSIDE Trinidad and Tobago, we need the proper facilities, we need financial investment from our businesses in T&T, which means the different sporting federations need to get off their backside and negotiate with sponsors. Ultimately we need 24 hour professionals who want to see T&T be successful as a country in different sporting disciplines at International events such as the Olympics.
