Opposition Leader, Cole Simons officially delivered the One Bermuda Alliance's reply to The Throne Speech in the House of Assembly.
We bring you the reply topic on Sports:
Bermuda’s hero and 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist Flora Duffy, put Bermuda on the map and showed the world and every young person in Bermuda, that dreams really can come true, though, commitment, hard work, discipline, blood sweat and tears, and family support.
However, for far too many, inactivity, obesity, unemployment, and conflict are not only global but local challenges as well. In this time of high anxiety over health and finances, it would be easy to forget the importance of sports. Creating opportunities for our young people to be student athletes should be identified. If we aim for the Olympics but succeed with university scholarships or university attendance through sport, we can be seen to have succeeded. Having a resource to guide young people to gain all the necessary physical training, mental health, nutrition, and sport scholarships is overdue.
