Kadecia Baird’s success was under the watch of the USA

Jul 18, 2012 Sports

Dear Editor,
A silver medal by USA based, Kadecia Baird at the just concluded 2012 IAAF World Junior Championship (Spain) for Guyana is indeed an achievement which should be treasured for the sports sector.  Her compatriot, Stephan James should also be applauded for his performance and let’s hope that he will grow much healthier with his track career from the exposure and experience he was exposed to.
On the other hand, a great lot of credit has got to be given to Baird’s coach and camp personnel of the USA because her success came under the watchful eyes of the USA where she is currently based and training.  Her continued and future success can also propelled her to super stardom and joining the elite squad in years to come, but that will depend if she is wise enough and intelligently smart to take up citizenship of the USA and run for that flag.  I am almost certain that she will come by corporate America long term endorsement/sponsorship which is vital for her track career.
It is my opinion that Guyana is not currently prepared to undertake such a task of matching what she can get from American endorsement/s by corporate America.
The Sports Sector of Guyana on the other hand should place a lot of focus/emphasis on transformation, transparency and creating a much greater image in rebuilding and growing much healthier for the benefit of all.
Having said that, we should all be in for some nail biting competition at the 2012 London Olympics which starts in a few days; GPL, make us proud.
T. Pemberton
