Popular figure within the sporting community, and founder of the Shipwreck Youth Development Football League,
Stanfield “Shipwreck” Joseph, is urging administrators and others charged with moving sports forward here in Antigua and Barbuda to become more proactive.
Speaking on the Cool & Smooth Good Morning Jojo Sports Show after accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award, Joseph said players are often left to suffer the consequences or the aftermath of administrators waiting or blaming others when simple stumbling blocks cross their paths.
“I guess some more hard work, self-discipline because somebody would argue and say they don’t have this, or they don’t have that, or they don’t have a ball, and the field is not marked, but I don’t wait on somebody to do it. I do it and then I can criticise after, but it must happen; the kids can’t get left out, everything is for them,” he said.
