The second sprint camp, organised by A Record Chance Inc., will occur on Saturday, November 30, at Thirst Park.
It promises to be an exceptional opportunity for Guyana’s top junior athletes to enhance their performance in the sport.
This initiative is designed to refine athletic skills and provide a comprehensive understanding of how to maximise individual talents both on and off the field.
With over 120 athletes already signed up, the camp will bring together a diverse young talent eager to learn and grow.
Approximately 30 experienced coaches will also be participating, contributing to a robust coaches’ programme that aims to elevate the region’s training standard.
This collaboration between athletes and coaches is expected to foster a rich learning environment, where participants can exchange knowledge and experiences.
Carlwyn Collins, the Marketing Manager of A Record Chance Inc., emphasized the importance of this camp in boosting athletes’ value. He noted that scouts have been reaching out to assess local talent, indicating a growing interest in Guyana’s athletes from abroad.
This camp serves as a platform to showcase local talent and prepare athletes for future opportunities in competitive sports.
National Indoor record holder Arinze Chance, the founder of A Record Chance Inc., highlighted that while the organization’s primary focus is on track and field, plans are underway to expand its reach to other athletic disciplines by 2026.
He underscored that the camp is not solely centered on technical training; it encompasses a holistic approach to athletic development, considering mental, emotional, and physical aspects.
A fascinating aspect of the camp is the involvement of Karim Abdel-Wahab, a world-renowned NCAA coach.
He will provide virtual coaching tips to participants and lead the coaches’ course, sharing invaluable insights and strategies that can help athletes elevate their game.
In addition to the athletic training, the sprint camp aims to engage the broader community by being open to the public.
Various novelty events will raise awareness about the sport and promote a culture of athletics in Guyana.
This initiative seeks to develop individual athletes and inspire a new generation of sports enthusiasts.
