Romany:There are no shortcuts

Taking Olympic Sports to the next level that is the objective of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC).

"We are living in a fool's paradise if we continue to act as if achieving sporting excellence will come without higher standards of fitness and strength.These building blocks must be in place ,there are no shortcuts"said TTOC president Larry Romany.

Romany was explaining the rationale behind the TTOC Sport performance strength and conditioning course which will start on Tuesday 25 March at the Athletes Lounge at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.

"It is called sport performance because it is just that,there are certain principles and sport science based protocols that are imperative in high performance sports"

The national Olympic chief pointed out that a number of local coaches involved in Olympic Sports have admitted that there is a need to improve their knowledge of periodized strength and conditioning.

The TTOC will be bringing in two Canadian strength and conditioning experts for the one week course .
