Ato, you're the voice of the sport and our leaders in track should be listening to you given your experience and vast knowledge in the sport. I'm sure US Track and other nations would pick your brain from time to time but it seems like we don't value your expertise. Completely ridiculous!
The thing is we have the talent but we lack the wherewithal and structure to properly develop the youths or even use the facilitates to our advantage.
We need fresh minds with vision to start with the younger ones in various types of events. I coach HS soccer and I'm always amazed at how many boys and girls are participating on their schools T&F teams. They're out there practicing Mon-Fri and the meets are vibrant. I could be wrong but there wasn't that high level on involvement when I lived in T&T, at least not at my school. No wonder why we're underachieving or going through another drought.

in fact most of those foreign coaches won't. I say we bring back Hart, he understands our culture, issues and is solutions oriented with the best interest of the nation in mind. Just pay de man on time because that's unprofessional.
