The Mi­lo Har­vard Club Foot­ball Clin­ic pro­duces more than just good ath­letes, says psy­chol­o­gist Franklyn Dol­ly.

De­liv­er­ing the fea­ture ad­dress at yes­ter­day's grad­u­a­tion cer­e­mo­ny held at the Har­vard Club on Ser­pen­tine Road, St Clair, Dol­ly told the young foot­ballers: "It is in giv­ing that we re­ceive. You went to your coach­es who have been giv­ing you through­out this clin­ic and to­day they have re­ceived. It is a tremen­dous part of life. I nev­er went to coach­es and told them what a great job they were do­ing, not just as a clin­ic coach, but as a per­son build­ing char­ac­ter, qual­i­ties that this coun­try now lacks."

Dol­ly wished the club well say­ing: "May God bless all of you as we con­tin­ue on our jour­ney of build­ing a coun­try and a na­tion built on char­ac­ter."

An­tho­ny Loreg­nard, pres­i­dent of the Har­vard Club said al­most 40 years af­ter the clin­ic be­gan with 50 at­ten­dees, and a re­la­tion­ship with Nes­tle T&T, which be­gan back in 1994, it had grown from strength to strength.

"The re­la­tion­ship con­tin­ues to­day and is re­spon­si­ble for the tremen­dous suc­cess of the Clin­ic which at­tracts some 185 boys and girls, who reg­is­ter to par­tic­i­pate in the clin­ic each year," he said.

Loreg­nard laud­ed the con­tri­bu­tions of the 23 coach­es head­ed by Win­ston Phillips who work tire­less­ly every Sun­day.

Marc Clarke, event and spon­sor­ship man­ag­er at Nes­tle said the com­pa­ny was pleased to have spon­sored the Clin­ic which rep­re­sent­ed a re­la­tion­ship that held for two decades.

"This re­la­tion­ship start­ed 20 years ago, when Mi­lo was ap­proached to spon­sor this event. Since then, we have seen this clin­ic grow from strength to strength and as such are very pleased to have been as­so­ci­at­ed with such ex­cel­lence in sport. We will con­tin­ue to sup­port ac­tiv­i­ties, which pro­motes nu­tri­tion, health and well­ness, es­pe­cial­ly when it comes to our youth de­vel­op­ment pro­grammes," he said.
