Olympic gold medallist Hasely Crawford chats with the children after paying an impromptu visit to one of the sports camps organised by the Sports Company of T&T last week. Crawford was warmly greeted by the children who got a chance to see his Olympic gold medal and Trinity Cross, the country’s highest honour.
Crawford is one of several sport ambassadors who will visit the camps this week to share their experiences in sport and offer advice for those aspiring to a career in the sport industry. Children can also expect a visit from Anil Roberts, Minister of Sport and elite swimming coach who will conduct a light training session.
The camps are an initiative of Sportt and the Ministry of Sport and started July 15. They will end August 2. They are designed to engage children and youth ages 7 to 17 in structured sporting activity led by trained coaches in 18 sporting disciplines.
