FLOW Trinidad has once again thrown its support behind the national Olympic movement by being part of last month's Olympic Day celebrations. “Flow has been a partner with the TTOC (TT Olympic Committee) for the past few years,” Flow Trinidad’s Country Manager Kurleigh Prescod said on Olympic Day at Lord Harris Square, Port of Spain on June 21.
Athletes can’t be competitive in elite sport without some form of financial support.
Even though many athletes in T&T are amateur in that they don’t earn a living from their sport, their ambition to achieve excellence in their sport demands supreme effort.
The net result is training is full time. In fact it’s not only the athletes. Coaches, administrators and officials at the highest levels of competition are essentially full time.
Being professional in your approach to the various roles and responsibilities is a requirement. Taking extended leave from work in order to prepare for major competitions is more the rule than the exception.
