Sport Official calls for respect, support and more time administrating
The call came from Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth Empowerment and Sports Mrs. Veda Bruno-Victor. In her first meeting for the New Year with coaches Mrs. Victor stressed the importance of better working relationship between coaches, sporting associations and athletes for 2011. The call comes on the heels of Government approving the National Sports Policy. The policy envisages the formation of a National Sports Council (NSC), with one of its primary objective being to assist talented sportsmen and women to excel as world class performers. The meeting, held at the National Stadium on Monday, was geared at providing the coaches with the programme of activities for this year, as well as the financial resources available.
“There are a lot of things that we can do without
money,” Mrs. Victor told the meeting. “Money is not all but we can respect,
support and be kind to each other, we don’t need money for that.” The Permanent Secretary, who was accompanied by Coordinators Conrad Francis and Bruce Swan, said that there are plans to complete some major infrastructure development in three parishes. She said that the lighting of the Alston George Playing Field in St Mark and the La Sagesse Playing Field in St David and the completion of the Cuthbert Peters Park in St John are all scheduled for completion this year. Meantime, Mr Francis said that the ministry will be embarking on increased training for all officials “Training is important and by upgrading one’s self through internal seminars, workshops and practical sessions one would be a better trained coach for 2011 and onwards."
