Hu­mil­i­ty it is said, is one of the most re­spectable and ad­mirable traits that an ath­lete can pos­sess. It is for any­one re­gard­less of your back­ground. We’ve all watched and ob­served pro­fes­sion­als of the high­est cal­i­bre both and off the field of play.

The Prime Min­is­ter re­leased a state­ment via his Face­book on Sat­ur­day stat­ing, “A vis­it was made to the Trinidad and To­ba­go Na­tion­al Ra­quet Cen­tre in Tacarigua which has been con­vert­ed in­to a 50-bed, step-down fa­cil­i­ty.”
