KST Speed and agility camp

This past week I coached at the 1st annual Kareem Streete-Thompson Speed and Agility camp here at home. About 70 Caymanian youngsters came out from ages 4 to 19 and participated over the 4 days. It was great joy to work with these kids. I know that each and everyone of them took something special away from this event. Special thanks to the FSU coaches that came and helped. Coaches, Harlis, Richards, and Dave did a tremendous job. Are local athletes, Ronald, Andrew, the Morgan twins did a fantastic job of keeping the kids in line. I'd also like to thank coach Harper and all the parents that made this event a success. And lastly my Caymanian youth who stuck through the heat all for days and give there best efforts.

Here are some pictures.

2009 Season comes to an end on a low note

Well I just had my last competition in Rhode Island today. I went 58.55m for 6th place. I'm very disappointed to say the least. I had 62m practice throws this past week in Tallahassee. I had two warm ups around 61m but It just didn't pan out the way I had it planned. All my other throws were left sector fouls. I tried to adjust but mentally I think I just lost it.

This year will be the first time that I have not PR'd at a meet. I must say that my training was better than last year even with the injury as a set back. But my competitions were below par.

Now I return home for 2 weeks then its back to Kamloops to do it all over again.

Thanks for the support everyone. I'll probably not blog again till after my much needed vacation.

59.50M in Cuba video

Season best in Cuba

I've been extremely busy the past two weeks, traveling over 14k and countless time zones. After the Island Games in Aland, I traveled to Havana, Cuba for the CAC games. I threw a season best of 59.50m. Overall I felt it was a successful competition. I'm grateful that my knee held up during the meet and allowed me to produce a season best.
Overall I enjoyed the city but didn't have anytime to see any sites of the island other than what could be seen through our shuttle bus window.
The Caribbean Games were supposed to be held in Trinidad from the 19-21st of July but were canceled due to swine flu fears. So to make up for this meet I'll be traveling to Bogota at the end of the month to compete in my final meet for the 2008/09 season. I'm aiming for a PB and NR.
