Marist Brothers High School’s athletics coach, Antonio Raboiliku, believes there are potential athletes in the school, and they need to be nurtured well so they can produce results.
While speaking to fijivillage News, Raboiliku says his main strategy is believing in his athletes and working with them on areas they need to improve on.
He says they still have gold medal prospects such as Aporosa Lalabalavu and Haggai Sukanaivalu in the sprints and Ebennezar Saukuru in the javelin event.
He adds that former Mahatma Gandhi Memorial High School sprinter Penaia Ramasirai have also joined the school this year.
Raboiliku says Ramasirai is still trying to blend in with the Marist way of doing things and is adapting slowly.
He says he will see how well Ramasirai has blended in the Zone competition.
