“[…] Under Anton Corneal, there were efforts to rebuild youth programs and implement coaching education, but questions remain about the tangible progress made. “Were elite player development pathways truly improved?

Dear Editor: Soca Warriors must stop begging for luck and build capacity for real success

“[…] More possession, more shots, prettier football—none of it matters without results. Sympathy doesn’t qualify teams. Goals and points do. “We need to stop confusing ‘progress’ with ‘promise’.

Dear Editor: Indarsingh’s appointment as Industrial Court judge should spark national concern

“[…] The Industrial Court wields quasi-constitutional powers in employment matters. It issues binding decisions affecting the rights of workers, unions, and employers. The notion that such a role can be filled by a recent Opposition MP, without even a law degree, ought to provoke national concern. “Appointments to judicial office, particularly one …
