Senior Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas has made a commitment to explore multiple avenues for student-athletes of St. Kitts and Nevis to maximize their full athletic potential.
Dr. Douglas underscored government’s commitment to the continued development of athletes while delivering remarks at the Welcome Home Ceremony for the athletes, following their successful participation in the 50th Edition of the CARIFTA Games held in The Bahamas from April 7-10, 2023.
“As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will use my ministry to open doors for you. I will go around the world seeking investment from investors to ensure that our conditions here are better, that our stadium will continue to improve and that the conditions under which you are training will improve. We will invest in our coaches because we believe in you. You are our ambassadors; you speak for us… and so we are very proud of you. You are simply the best, better than all the rest,” Senior Minister Douglas stated
Dr. Douglas encouraged the student-athletes to strive for excellence.
“We can say you may be just beginning; some of you are very young; your careers still have time to bloom… even though you are challenged in different ways, it is not to keep you down. Even though you are very good in your athletics disciplines, there are going to be distractions. We want to make sure that these distractions do not in any way interrupt what appears to be a very promising career,” Dr. Douglas added, as he challenged the athletes to strive for excellence.
Dr. Douglas gave the assurance that the current administration, led by Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew, will ensure that athletes receive the requisite assistance needed to excel.
