Looking for volunteers to drive to St Elizabeth to drop off suppliesโฆ as well as anybody willing to help @WCKitchen drive around communities to drop off food. We have 4WD vehicles, just need drivers.
The JAAA governing body could be doing so much more to engage people and hype up their National Championships but always decides not to.
Their presence on social media is so poor. Unless youโre a proper fan of the sport who is actively looking out for things, most people have no idea where to purchase tickets, view the schedule, or know what athletes will be in action, etc., because the organisation does such a terrible job of promoting themselves and communicating information.
How much work have they been doing on the ground level? Have they been advertising the event locally? Posters? Highlighting athletes? Speaking to local media? I canโt speak about this personally, but that is the sort of background work Iโd want to see months in advance to ensure that the locals are even aware that the event is happening.
Listening to some of the comments from the JAAA President, Garth Gayle, at the National Championships launch event earlier and his attempt to try and make things about himself, as heโs not being paid at all for his role, strongly suggests to me that he may not be the person to lead. Throwing a pity party for yourself isnโt going to miraculously change how people feel and the realities athletes face. You know exactly what you signed up for, and you can leave whenever you want.
Times change, and perhaps the leadership of the organisation needs to change as well to ensure a more hopeful future for all the current and upcoming athletes who continue to and will be affected by the leadership.
