Levi on for Molino. Good move by Hart, Molino hasn't been good today.

actually when has Molino ever been good for TnT ???

Let's NOT be silly.

well that's your opinion, to my eyes! since his return he has been less than even identifiable on the play of field!!

Some of you want to soft-talk this Olympic experience and conclude that all of our athletes did their very best and were just unfortunate. If we accept that, then nothing will change for the better for TTO T&F.

This Olympics was underwhelming, plain and simple - no matter how much lipstick we want to put on the pig.

When you have athletes performing worse at the Olympic Games than they did at TTO Olympic trials, that is a failure. Conditions were no worse, and most likely better at the Rio Olympic stadium (track, wind, competition, etc).

We therefore have to evaluate why not just a few, but a significant measure of our seasoned and professional athletes, receiving elite funding, and resident at world-class training groups in the US could get it so wrong. If we don't then we pissing into the wind.

I for one will not advocate calling athletes by puerile names nor offering up destructive criticism, but when they do not perform up to their capabilities then it begs a question - are they injured, are they fully-fit as they say, did they overtrain, were they mentally prepared, were they properly peaked and tapered, were the OG village accommodations inadequate, was the food in the OG village a cause of any discomfort, etc.

In a news article the team mentioned they had a GREAT camp. I beg to differ.
100m MEN
No one ran even close to their SB, OG trial times, far less their PB, at the Olympic Games, the Olympic Games people - what they all train their lives for. Given that our 100/200m sprinters are aging and in their last OG cycle, if no one comes forward to mention that they are carrying an injury/niggle, etc. then this campaign was a failure in preparation, a failure in peaking or tapering, a failure in judging ones efforts during the rounds - all extremely disappointing for an experienced group.
4x100m MEN
While we competed commendably in the semis, our experienced athletes had a lane or passing zone violation in the final, something that we have been astute enough in the past OGs to prevent. Not one athlete nor designated coach has come forward and owned up as an adult or professional to say, look it was my fault and not my intention, not one person.
4x100m WOMEN
Someone has to speak up about Khalifa St. Fort's underwhelming performance on anchor and why a change was not made. The first indication was in the semis. An 11.16 performer does not get gapped or overtaken by some of our competition (Germany and Nigeria) that hardly has that talent even on their anchor (Okagbare ran the 2nd leg). I have to assume the young lady is not 100%, because no one has voiced up to it.
4x400m MEN
This was a most disappointing result. Lalonde Gordon suffered a mental mishap that as an experienced pro, he should not have, and needs to verbally take responsibility and move on.

Maybe I'm premature here. Maybe once they leave Rio and collect their thoughts they will do so. But all we are hearing is that they all did their very best and the lost opportunities were just misfortunes. That is not what I'd expect from professionals. You are receiving all sorts of financial assistance - explain yourself.

In some of the events, we had athletes meeting the qualifying standards but did not expect medals (110m hurdles, 200m MEN and WOMEN, 400m hurdles WOMEN). Then there was the 400m hurdles MEN (why was Jehue Gordon selected). What, he get a pass because he "in the club"? He was a world champion 3 years ago but has declined (48.7, 49.2, 49.98). it is only recently we are hearing about recovery from surgery.

So to one poster,
YES, we need to revamp the entire approach including marketing, promotion, proper coaching, funding redistribution to improve the appeal and brand of T&F in TTO.
YES, some of us in the forum are actually former TTO junior and senior athletes who have experienced the hamster wheel ourselves, know what we are talking about, and want to see TTO T&F get out of this sad story cycle.

But we keep doing the same crap. Maybe you've heard the recycled story - "A world class talent or 2 comes along every 5-10 years, we ride that/those athletes back, showering them with praise, gifts and resources, like a Nobel Prize recipient, while neglecting the 99%. Then we fool the public with short memories into believing that T&F is on an upswing. When said athlete(s) pass(es) their peak we start to denigrate them and leave them out in the cold, unless they are locally connected, got an education along the way, or decide to stay abroad".

So let's be honest, objective, and analytical here. Achieving sustainable improvement will not come by chance, there is a measure of will, science, expertise, and practicality needed.

my friend, well said indeed. and everything you said is basically my point, but then again im not gonna cry down the athletes, most of them to big and Olympic Seasoned to be getting lambasted for there poor performances from me!! i just hope people see, what needs to be done and do it.
and be held accountable, cause how much Hundred thousand of dollars in they get in elite funding yet,this is what im getting, then they shouldn't be elite but just above average!!
what they should be doing is from the time they reach 32,start parting uh knowledge and training in to coaching in your specific community.
also that 5yr cycle is like a religion in Trinidad and Tobago Sporting culture,
always have to wait for that special talent to say yea i train that, instead of actually making talent sprinters from ordinaries!
i hope i will be doing my part soon, which will be on coaching part!!! and seriously be able to do something with these talent we have here... in the end, we need to start breeding winners in our next Generation to come in sport or culture etc, it needs to be fueled.
and Winners i mean by Mentality!! cause we fail miserably on that when it comes to mental preparations etc . start instilling winning attitudes in kids from ages= 5 to 12 and continue it up in process!!! stop with the let them have fun talk!! which they should by no means!! but still they must be nurtured to take it seriously and use it as a way to the world!! etc
well that's what ill be doing.any how!!!

20
ffisback, leave it be lmao its just a justification for never giving 100 percent that's all
always with the Jamaica comparison, yet let ah Jamaican perform the way how this TnT team play and you will see lots of Support and love for their team*sarcastically*

if you want me to support you show me why i should , give me a reason to support, give me a reason to spend my money to come and see and then i will say yes. i will support, and second that ex athlete is just what you call ah emotional one. you don't go in to sports for people to support you and love you.
you go in to be the best you can be and striving the be the best in the world.not performing and waiting for people to come and see you.
it just's shows that athletes are just ah extension of Trinidad Culture or lack of passion etc.same way he bawling fans are free loading bandwagonist......
same way athletes are attention seeking whores, who desire money and bling and all that life style to walk like starz! yet there performance is mediocre!! its a two way street not a one way,
cause if people love to support mediocrity so. then they should expect it  in there daily life and never complain when someone give them ah half ass job on they work or there boss pay them for mediocrity and expecting full pay....!! its plain and simple.!!

I strongly suggest the government via SporTT give SERIOUS thought to a redistribution and re-alottment within the Elite Funding Program, especially the use of funding for T&F. It obviously did not net ANY improved results for this Olympics, as was expected. It actually regressed a few decades in terms of results.

Too few PROVEN athletes receive more than enough funding than they probably need. Those most in need hardly receive any at all, or receive their relative "pittance" too late, probably because the authorities exhaust their budget and have to go find additional funds.

There also seems to be no opportunity for aid for up and coming talent showing progress, especially amongst the juniors. As such maybe they should consider the following:
1. If an athlete already has a "princely" sponsorship deal (to be defined) but performs at an elite level, they should receive a lesser-tiered sum, if they request it. A mature mindset needs to be demonstrated amongst our elite athletes, setting an example, showing that they are above the "eat-a-food/all-for-me" attitude.
2. If an athlete has an average sponsorship deal (to be defined) but performs at an elite level, until they improve to a top-tier sponsorship deal, they should receive an elevated sum that brings their total funding up near, but less than their top-tier peers.
3. A greater portion of the fund budget should be redistributed more equitably to the athletes performing at sub-elite or most-improved levels, to athletes who most sorely need the assistance and have proven their excellence in hardship.
4. In addition, junior athletes who may still consider an amateur athletic scholarship before potentially going pro, should be able to receive non-cash assistance to sustain and improve their performances, for example - annual taxi debit cards for transportation to/from training grounds/stadia, annual strength training/gym memberships, annual subscriptions to NAAA/IAAF endorsed supplements, an annual allotted number visits to sports doctors/massage therapists/psychologists, 1-2 annual assessments at high performance training centers (whether developed in T&T, or the closest in travel to T&T).
5. A new but extremely important class of funding  - for established and aspiring coaches who have been evaluated as successful via their club's performance. They should be selected to participate in a set number of IAAF-sanctioned training courses/clinics paid for the government, and conducted by visiting/invited experts (typically in the 4th quarter of a year) in time for application the following year.

Since the NAAAs is not traditionally a well funded organization, nor beholden (held accountable like the employees of SporTT), some thought needs to be given to how, and which of the 2 organizations needs to be funded and held accountable to produce results and transparency.

The government also needs to invite and credit private sector expertise to help these bodies develop professional grade programs such as:
1. Marketing T&F from an outreach perspective to draw more talent into the sport (we've talked this like a beaten drum but need a roadmap as to how to actually do this effectively)
2. Professionally officiating track meets (staying on schedule, operating timing/wind/measurement technology correctly, etc)
3. Promoting T&F events successfully to appeal more to the general public and more importantly to potentially new sponsors.

There is so much innovation and creativity that T&F organizations can tap into with help from the private sector, if an avenue for the private sector providing help is created by the government (tax credits, etc).

Traditional failure has come from the authorities giving funds to organizations who have no clue nor business in delivering those core non-athletic products/competencies to take local T&F to the next levels (sales, marketing, promotion, sports medicine, athlete image enhancement, etc).

Jason I agree, time to get rid of some of those board members. With this type of poor performance, other serious countries will replace the President one time!

Sorry to disappoint you but those board members are not going anywhere which is unfortunate.  The problem is not only the administration.  They are terrible as hell but most of the fans are just as bad.


The first step is for the "fans" to get their @$$ up from the couch and start attending track meets.  It real funny we have the majority of the population on FB talking like experts and criticizing the athletes but when you go a track meet in Trinidad the attendance is in the hundreds.  You ever saw a track meet in Jamaica?  The atmosphere makes the Olympics look soft.

Forumites keep posting about our performance deteriorating at the Carifta Games, are any of you going to the Carifta Games to support the kids?  Are you going to National Secondary Schools T&F Championships?  Are you going to sports day for your alma mater?  Are you going to the Southern Games?  Until you can answer yes to most of those questions you are a big part of the problem.

Young kids in Trini play football more than run track because of the support youth football receive (plus they pull more girls in football compared to track).  So guess what happens?  The better athletes end up playing football versus track and field.  Yet we have been more successful in track and field compared to football.


my friend, im sorry but that response is totally irrelevant!! answer me this? if 10,000 people come every meet in Trinidad an Tobago TnF  for 10yrs, straight?? is it going to make tnt world beaters????come on lets be serious. everything starts from the head.....how the hell you want people to go to meets and support anything when half the time you doh even know it have a meet. yet when u go is some kinda bacchanal. look its stupid to even think that what you saying is Justification for or will be a super Reason of Answers to TnF problems.!! perfect eg" look at SSFL all that crowd and alma mata who going games and supporting.. where are we on the World Stage in Football??? are we World beaters?? come on . stop using uh emotions!!! and a next perfect eg of People in Administration in TnT is grand Games.?? where is it??? ah see it was a Boss Event , seeing that it was cancelled for a After party instead....and i could go on an on. and on........look lets be real....if your the head of the Table. then lead by example. set Procedures and follow through.start Developing Talent that will make people say wow.. i need to come see this guy run... Start Organizing or work in Conjunction with UTT and start a Track and Field Coaching program!! Start going to communities and scouting not only athletes, but people with brains to Elevate the sport through there own Unique way of Coaching while still following a National pathway!! etc and based all of this in conjunction with the communities they are based in and make the community and integral part....make people feel apart instead of expecting them to come an smile kiddy kiddy skin teeth and say take me money ah come 2 support u even doh ah seeing shit non stop for how much decades of sports run in this country!! i for one will not bash the athletes i will stick with the head, cause its the head that charts the coarse, if the head is dead, don't expect the body to function and life.simple. facts of life.!!

I not disagreeing that it starts with the administration. our admin stinks.

you think T&F athletes feel the love from fans early in their careers? do you think they get support? most ppl support them after they win a medal.

how you don't know it have a meet?  all the meets listed on www.ttnaaa.org.  just ah lame ass excuse.  anyway, don't go ah damn meet and let athletes run in front of empty stadiums, that is very motivating.

we are not world beaters in football because we lack talent regardless of what we like to fool ourselves in believing.  we have more talent in T&F than football, just we cant recognize it like the Jamaicans, we cant be organized like the Jamaicans, etc.







actually i always know when it have meets, cause i am a supporter for over 30yrs etc and have been and always been a avid fan of Tnf
but sadly you miss my point! you want people to support. yet you will tell me why i don't go on they web site which is prehistoric and look for when it have meets, my friend i always know when it have meets because of my support, but my argument is based on people who are not in to track and field , what are they doing to make it attractive to the non fans?? what are they doing to bring Non fans in to make them real passionate fans?? tell me and i will eat crow right now......so again your argument failed again on lame excuse,which u cant use! there is barely any marketing or promotion of athletes in there borough or communities to garner support for them or use them as ambassadors for the meets they part take in when its nationals or noting...................like i said you can't expect support if your nothing showing me something that will make me desire and crave to see more and bring a passion of co operation and partnership in any thing what so ever.......!! if you want success then make a brand, when u have a brand u have a identity, and that is what NAAAtt is lacking foremost, and athletes are lacking mentality!!! Lead from the Head and the rest will follow :beermug: :beermug:

« on: August 20, 2016, 04:55:33 PM »
Yup, yet people, want people to support !!! lol
Ato, its a miracle you tried so many times to consistently edge to the cliff of insanity!
i for one will say that . i applaud your patriotism and love for Country! that you see things we don't see yet you always succeed etc.my advice is to just focus on what your doing on Coaching your specific athletes, may it be 100 percent trini otherwise , focus . and continue to build that success which is starting from Khalifa!! etc to what ever new young Trini talent that you wanna take up florida etc.
and maybe then those who failed to hear, will see and live with the regret of Lacking the Wisdom and Faith to go beyond there own mental thoughts of( i know everything mentality)

but i will say again!! as Qawd on pitch said, it was our worst Olympics ever. as i agree also. we seriously need a overhaul, before we can really say we going somewhere!! but im glad you bring this point forward with out going further ((I put together a plan in 2015 after the bronze that was never adhered to in any way. Can't half-prepare and beat the rest of the planet.

I have tried. Not fighting a one man battle anymore against those who don't know, don't care or can't see what I see and have always seen.
)) when we start to get serious about what we about and where we will go......we always be crying for support and this and that when there is no Professionalism or Desire at all from the Head that goes down to the body and tail which the Head influences!!!

The worst Olympics ever, heck i knew this would be a blighted Olympics  :frustrated: :frustrated:
But i for one im Grateful, for what is happening Now with these Performances,
it just goes to show how half assing and totally Irrelevant the Naaatt is under the Guidance of Serrette, and his board of failures.for years i have been saying this,since our decline in Carifta year after year, yet he constantly skins and grins his teeth like he is accomplishing anything beside Regressing Track and field in this country..
i see people saying we need a over haul etc and NaaaTT need to get they act together, well for me i need them to get the hell out and away from the sport and Start a New Board and Constitution and a New National Program, Centered on Community based and Community Centered Coaching and Athletes in the surrounding areas of such Communities.
if we want Trinidad and Tobago to succeed, we need to start Doing things our way and do away with that failure Administration.
we cant be a Jamaica , cause TnF is only Successful, because of Jamaica over arching and fanatic loving of There Country and Pride they feel when they compete in Regional meets or National meets or even International meets...........etc

26
Good try ahye , but it wasn't yuh day !!
That ET hmmm she sick bad bad congrats on da Gold hmmm

27
I am reading some of the comments on social media in response to poor performances from most of our athletes at the Olympics.

All I would say is the T&T public is used to failures from our national athletes so they have been conditioned to commend failure. Athletes struggling to get out the preliminary stages and I see people commenting with "you did great" .."you made the country proud"..

Who to blame for this weakness in our national psyche?
.


Sando prince i think that all blame should be at the Sporting Administrators and NGO's in the country and not the athletes
just my opinion, that we have failed our athletes with poor training and inflated ego's
ask your self this question, as this era is coming to an end with RT and KB etc
who is the next sprinter in Trinidad that is gonna take there place? or from Tobago??????

we have no structure and plan, at all
more like pelting mango on mango season hoping to find ah athlete by chance
perfect EG: since Serrette has taken over NAAA we have regressed in carifta consistently, no programs are in place for Nuturing the young ones, heck if ato didn't bring in Khalifa we would of been in shit street for our women sprinting going in to the future and that jus shows where we are as a Sporting nation!!

weakness in our national pride= Carnival freeness

28
im very suprise that she was healthy for this whole season and hasn't really pushed or peaked as yet. so im excited to see what ah full throttle lee will do in rio..even doh i feel she will beat et ..we will see but i have her first rather than second. not based on sentimentality but more on technique and potential.which she has unlimited (potential) in

« on: May 27, 2016, 06:12:58 PM »
I do actually like how the team has played so far considering the limitations and opposition. However we must solve this GK issue and sure up the defence.
yeah but this is the 2nd string keeper and defense up against the likes of Edison Cavani......How are we really to judge these guys fairly.

These are T&T players who are not new. They have been playing at the senior level for a while. Marvin Phillip, Cyrus, Mitchell been playing for T&T for a long time
new or not. Right now in this game and on this tour we have a weakened team. Ease up on the guys nah......

My point is they have no excuse for not even plying basic level football. They look confused and out of place. We should not judge them as inexperienced players because they are NOT.




exactly, you cant be on the National Team for donkey years and wen u playing a big team you still playing donkey shit!! learn to up yuh game or just dont play and waste people time on u  who not taking your game serious
