How about just saying congratulations and leaving the expert to plan his strategy?
Let us hope next week BVI will get its first medal(s) in the Olympics. It is within reach.
Big respect to these great athletes!
Let's hoe that these achievements will inspire the ones in (political) power, whatever party or group, to put more money in sports facilities for the ppl of BVI and less for useless consultancy contracts. This way you encourage ppl to live a better lifestyle and as a bonus some of them will make it to the top and the whole community will win in the end.
For example, fix the pool at Prospect Reef so that the youth (and not only) of the island can learn swimming and some train for competition. Fix the Queen Elizabeth park, including the playground. Just having nice billboards about physical literacy hanging by the highway will not help have a healthier community or the next Philips , Malone or McMaster.
GOD'S GOT YOUR FEET IN HIS HAND. YOU JUST PUT YOUR FAITH IN ACTION
