Simoes Back In Jamaica

[Jangle]

Simoes, who now works with the Brazilian Coaches Society, is also a life coach, and said that he would not consider returning to Jamaica to work in any coaching role as those days are behind him. However, he said that there are things that could be done differently in Jamaica to grow the nation's sports.

"You have to build a programme very, very strong, but sometimes it is not very very easy to do that," he said. "You need money and you need a leadership but the companies have to remember that it is not an expense but an investment in your country."

Simoes said that he is impressed with what he sees as the improvement of Jamaicans' standard of living, since his last stint living in Jamaica in 2008. He said that this tells him that the economy is growing.

"I saw all the cars. I'm impressed about the new kinds of cars you have here - Mercedes Benz, Audis, I saw Porsches and these kinds of cars we didn't see before and the quantity I'm seeing now. I talked to Michael DaCosta, one of the best friends I have here in Jamaica, and he said economically, a structure is being put in place for the country's growth and he's quite satisfied by the situation."

So a proliferation fancy cars (i.e. trinkets) is the key indicator of "progress"??? Say it aint so Prof

More cyar more gyal

[PeeJay]

That's my problem with Yard Trinkets abound

beyond that the majority suffers. Everyone always uses the most minute standard to describe Jamaica's economic progress, since independence.I agree Don..Say it aren't so prof. WE still a suffer in a country. A Kingston u den.

Hope the JFF ask him to advise on how to set up a strong youth program on the island. Happy anniversary Prof. Simoes

[USAF]

I also hope that the JFF does something. I hope they see the necessity & importance of a Comprehensive Coach & Youth Development Program, BUT I have to admit that I have no confidence that the JFF sees this as a priority & that they will invest in such a Program.

My guess he subscribes to the U40, the parallel of course is some owners of those high end cars are renters or still living with their mommy.Well similarly, the cosmetic so-called quick fix of always running to hug a UB40 player is deceptively misleading..and unbecoming.

[OJ]

Wow so cars are the determiNation of our economic growth

[Sir X]

Why do we need Simoes to tell the JFF to set up a program ? the end result would mean someone has to run it !

Simoes wont run it ,because he cost too much,even to set it up his cost would be too much, why not just copy :
