He hails from the crime-ravaged community of Gutters in Retirement St. James, but Tavin Shaw, a truly gifted player and the pride and joy of his mother, will not allow where he’s from to define his destination.
The 20-year-old ‘wash-belly’ for his family and self-motivator, has his eyes set on prestige and greatness, methodically mapping a direct path away from crime and violence.
‘Wingy’, as he is affectionately called, dreams of one day becoming a professional footballer as well as an entrepreneur.
A warrior on the field, but quiet and shy off it, Shaw, a graduate of Munro College, holds seven subjects at the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) level, including Mathematics, Principles of Accounts, Principles of Business, English Language, Economics, Social Studies, Information Technology and Human and Social Biology.
