Kenson Casimir: “Your mental health matters, your well-being matters, and you matter.”

We need Julien Alfred to be representing Saint Lucia at most of the global events, and that is what they will endeavour to do: put the best athletes out representing the country. That is their mandate.

I’m very wary of stepping in as a minister and, for lack of a better way of phrasing it, forcing an athlete to participate at an event that the entire technical team around her has advised her not to participate.

So hats off to Saint Lucia for their crowd support. There really is a buzz surrounding sports development in this nation, and it is a testament to what we are seeing in our crowds so far.

Education must develop the whole child.
