CITING MVP Track and Field Club head coach Stephen Francis as a role model, former 400 metres World champion Bert Cameron is blazing a new trail at the Mico University College.
He says helping athletes forge the link between education and sports led him to the Mico University College, where he started a new job as head coach of the institution's athletics programme on Monday.
The former Jamaica quarter-miler and the Marescaux Road-based institution, this summer, forged a partnership in which his club, Cameron Blazers, will work from Mico, with Cameron being head of its athletics programme.
"They're no more time wasters. When this thing is finished, the sports part, these girls and boys need something to fall back on, and I want to know I helped to set a foundation for them, so this is a blessing," Cameron, who is also director of athletics at Sts Peter and Paul Prep School, told The Gleaner.
