The athletes needs support and not be cowed when they speak out. They are not kids! Why are they subjected to threats by these arrogant unqualified individuals. It’s easier to get rid of the members of the JOA and JAAA than of these professional athletes. Enough of the nepotism, friendship and the go along to get along. The athletes deserves better.
I feel so bad for the athletes. They deserve better. This has been happening for a long time and it is way past time to fix this mess. It may take the athletes to unite to get the changes they deserve.
Jamaica can’t afford to have this kind of commotion working in top level positions. If the top of the stream is messy the whole stream is going to be messy.Remove and replace.
Why do they have two separate organizations in any case i.e. JAAA and JOA? This is the problem, but everybody wants to be the leader, and now they disgraced Jamaica in front of the whole world. What a disgrace! Yes, I agree, fire them immediately with no bonuses, and revoke all their benefits. If they refuse to leave throw them out on their darn bums. They have put our athletes in a state of depression, I am sure.
We see these athletes performing all these years and sometimes we are very callous towards them with our comments when they dont do as well as "we" expected them to. We don’t know what they have to face or put up with in the background. When they are not happy it is very difficult to perform at their best. Let us be more sensitive because all we see is what they do on the track we are not privy to what’s happening in their training time or preparation for the big events. Thank God for Daniel speaking out, let's see what will now happen. And even with that they were threatening her and trying to keep her silent. This is truly sad 😔
The incompetent management always try to cover up their inadequacy with their show of arrogance. It is time for the egotistical individuals to step aside so they may be replaced by people who will serve the athletes best interests.
Time come time! Time fi clean house! Dirty politics has infected every institution in Jamaica. Same way di JFF tainted and corrupt. They don't give a rat's butt about country. Selfish ambitions and greed drive them mad.
An athlete should be able to speak their mind without thinking there is going to be repercussions. More Athletes would speak out if we did not these unqualified, money craving officials threatening them.
Need to conduct a forensic audit and internal controls review and be prepared to prosecute wrong doings if discovered. Only way to achieve accountability.
what is funny is that these are the same officials that were there with the same system when we won from 2008 to 2021. The first sign of failure then we get in our feelings to criticize
Everybody want the praise when we perform welo, but nobody wants the blame when we don't. JAAA & JOA, the buck stop with you. Take responsibility for this and stop making excuses and threatening athletes. RESIGN Every single one of you!
I get your point and I understand your position. However, do you think all the athletes who failed to make the finals performed at their best? Do you think they believed that they did their best? I could assure you that if you had a conversation with both female 100m hurdlers, both male 110m hurdlers, women 4x400m etc they all would say that their performances were dismal.
Greetings Dr Haughton, is it possible for you to get on board and coach these quarter milers both male and females. Also the 4x4 relay teams, I am aware of the fact that you are a very busy individual.
These people offer no solutions. Its all about personal beefs. The JAAa does not have a proper setup consequently the athletes MUST be allowe to be accompanied by personal coaches. No high school coach must be imposed on adults. As long as the athletes are under private tutelage pating own way things will be this way. Instead of trying to takke over Francis and Mills athletes, provide support for those who don't have a club home but have potential
I agree they should all resign.. changes need to be made and quickly too… I said so on a popular platform and the host responded by asking if “ (management) caused the top athletes to be injured”.but unbiased people all see what the real problems are.
Nervousness was a strong confound to the perfornances of the Jamaican athletes at the 2024 Olympics. In preparation to compete in major championships, the Jamaican team should hire a provisional neuropsychologist to orient the athletes in techniques with which they can use nervousness as a reflexive complement to reinforce excelling in their feats of choice.
@@jamdum2290 well Usain said “ it wasn’t fun anymore” and that’s why he left. Maybe it was due to internal drama. Yohan Blake just came out saying he feels unappreciated and is going to run somewhere else. JAAA is responsible for promoting them and did not execute. Because technically he should have taken over from bolt once Bolt retired.
Hello Gregory, I think you cut the tape at the wrong point. I had previously listened to the tape on another site. I wanted more clarity (to hear again) why Junelle had to run 2 legs on the mixed relays prior to her individual event ( believe he said that a 400m runner called out sick one day). Looking forward to next episode
Dr. Greg why are you not on the committee??? Why can’t you do something about infestation in this swamp people Things need to change now New time new people Juliet is corrupt aswell
The issue of funding must be discussed, I think Jamaica is missing out a a huge funding source. If you look at the UK, their success across all sports isn't about talent, it's funding. Their athletes are not funded by the government but the lottery, every year a percentage of the lottery profits must go to funding sports across the country, from school to professionals athletes.
Time's up for some boy, they cannot inspired the young generation, we have lots of new blood ready to step in the this, don't play with our girls, don't play with our money, don't play with our food and do not play with our athletic teams. 🎉
JAMAICA'S SUB-PAR PERFORMANCE AT PARIS OLYMPICS A nation divided against itself MUST fall/fail. This is by far the WORST performance of JAMAICA in any major athletic championship since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics in which JAMAICA medal haul was also 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze. This sub-par performance of JAMAICA’s track athletes has come at a time when the administrators of the nation’s sports governing bodies (JAAA & JAO) are at war with each other. The conflict between the heads of these sports governing bodies started when the current head of the JAAA was a member of the JAO. It’s ironic that our participation in the Paris Olympics started with setbacks in the women's 100m/200m and it also did not end well for JAMAICA on the penultimate day of the Paris Olympics with disaster in the women's sprint hurdle final & women's 4 x 400m relay final. THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF BAD LEADERSHIP The JAA & JAO for years have not been operating in the best interest of our athletes. The JAA & JAO are grossly negligent, their INCOMPETENCE cost Nayoka Clunis not to participate in the Paris Olympics. On top of that, the petty bickering between the heads of the JAAA & JOA set the stage for the sub-par performance of some our athletes in the field events which accounted for the majority of the medals earned by JAMAICA at the Paris Olympics. For years it has been the practice of the JAAA & JOA to give greater support to athletes participating in the track events. It is time that the unfair treatment of our field event athletes stop. With responsibility comes accountability. FOR the better of Jamaica’s athletics both the JAA & JAO need to have new leadership. These sport governing bodies should not be led by people who mimic the behaviour of the typical Jamaican politicians. In addition to that, there needs to be stronger intervention from the current MINISTER OF SPORT to address the continuing strife between the nation’s sports governing bodies to ensure that the athletes and their coaches representing the country get the required support. It can’t be business as usual when both sport associations have been beneficiaries of millions of Jamaican tax dollars from the government through its athlete assistance programme.
Listen commentators: Didn't Parris change the rules at the last minute before sharing the informational changes at the last minute plus the put our Jamaican athletes in the most difficult starting positions????,
For all the Jamaicans who missed it. This is how y'all did in the 2024 Olympics: 4x400 mens DNQ 100m Clayton 7th womens DNM 100m Thompson 2nd 🥈 100m Seville 7th DNM 100m Akeem Blake DNA 100m Price finalist: scratch 200m Jackson: scratch 200m Burgher DNA 200m Lanae Thomas: DNA 200m Andrew Hudson DNA 200m Levell: eliminated 400m Bailey: eliminated 400m Watkins: DNS 400m Powell: DNA W400m Pryce eliminated W400m Williams eliminated 4x400 mixed 8th: DNM 400H Russell: eliminated 400H James- king DNA 400H Clayton 5th 400H Salmon 6th Long jump Gayle: DNA High jump: Beckford 10th M4x100 relay team: DNQ W4x100 relay team: 5th Shot put Stona: Gold🥇 Shot put Dodd: DNQ Shot put Lloydricia: DNQ Shot put Cameron 13th: eliminated 100 hurdles: Nugent DNF 110 hurdles: Broadbell 🥉 W4x400 DNF Heptathalon DNP
When you looked on how long Donald Qurrie and Merlene otty ran for Jamaica and did not earned any money comparing to these present days athletes, after an athlete competing for years. Those athletes should be able to improve their skills, some of those athletes will not improve at all. These kinds of bad behaviour only started since Steve Francis entered the fray and some, of the other coaches is. Treating the athletes like they owned them,I understood that the Jamaican athletes are in different camps. Which is all nonsense of some of those athletes abnoxious behaviour,we knew the days. When the athletes never really getting any help out of the Olympics,or the world championship games. The government needs to stop Steve Francis and some of those coaches, going with the athletes at the games. It only started when Steve Francis went with team to Australia 🦘 i don't remember,if it was the Olympics or the world championship games. When they almost expelled the Jamaican athletes out of the stadium 🏟️, because of the bad behaviour also in Japan. When I listened to some of those athletes who is complaining about nonsense about their individual coach,it is all nonsense. I know that you have some cyber bullies out there, you as the elders cannot tell them anything. When you looked at the good athletes over the years who is always medalling for Jamaica is not complaining, looking at Shelley Ann Fraser Price,Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Elaine Thompson Heray,Uan Blake ,I am just using the out standing for Jamaica over the years. I hates to hear athletes trying to blames people for their failures, because all of the athletes them have enough times . To prepare themselves for the Olympics games, they have 4 long years and they. Used other events like the world championship games, the Commonwealth, the Caribbean games also the diamond 💎 league championship games every year and. If an athlete is not improving from all of those events, they are no good at all. So having a coach at the Olympics,it is not going to help them at all. I heard the argument about to removing the old guards and, replace them with younger generation. It is all nonsense they are talking, you need former successful athletes to take over certain areas. Who can help to enhanced the younger generation athletes, you cannot used failures to be coached. Because they does not have anything to offer to the younger generation, that is where the problems is. Let me hear some of those cyber bullies comments, because a lot of them does not know nothing about track and field. It is only been the athletes them now is making some money, comparing the days. When all athletes was classified as amateur,there was no rewards for competing more than your medals if you win or placed.v
If they have any shame they will send in their resignations
They don't we know this
@@DaydreamingTrack You can say that again
JOA and JAAA must take responsibility for the lost of the men hundred meters gold,and the men 110 silver medals
The athletes needs support and not be cowed when they speak out. They are not kids! Why are they subjected to threats by these arrogant unqualified individuals. It’s easier to get rid of the members of the JOA and JAAA than of these professional athletes. Enough of the nepotism, friendship and the go along to get along. The athletes deserves better.
This is why we can't blame the athletes when they switch and represent other countries.
The ppl at the joa and jaaa are simply glory seekers who care nothing about the athletes.
Dem a line dem pocket; judgement and fire
Its corruption , then they treaten them when they speak out
I feel so bad for the athletes. They deserve better. This has been happening for a long time and it is way past time to fix this mess. It may take the athletes to unite to get the changes they deserve.

They must go!!
Everything in Jamaica is managed by the same groups of people
Friendism !
Yes, scammers and fraudster.
Thank you Dr. Haughton for always bringing relevant info to the public sphere. The conversation needs to be had.
The incompetent management always try to cover up their inadequacy with their show of arrogance. It is time for the egotistical individuals to step aside so they may be replaced by people who will serve the athletes best interests.
Time come time! Time fi clean house! Dirty politics has infected every institution in Jamaica. Same way di JFF tainted and corrupt. They don't give a rat's butt about country. Selfish ambitions and greed drive them mad.
They are a disgrace to the world.yes resignation effect immediately
It's funny this guy said 14 years, I'll glad juliet is here because I remember her speaking out in the 90's.
I been asking why Maurice Wilson aways have to be the technical director...
An athlete should be able to speak their mind without thinking there is going to be repercussions. More Athletes would speak out if we did not these unqualified, money craving officials threatening them.
JAA must stop certain coaches from separate the athletes... whenever athletes are representing Jamaica, it must be one camp. No separation....
Need to conduct a forensic audit and internal controls review and be prepared to prosecute wrong doings if discovered. Only way to achieve accountability.
That will never happen. Why would they allow that to take place? Dem no fool
what is funny is that these are the same officials that were there with the same system when we won from 2008 to 2021. The first sign of failure then we get in our feelings to criticize
The success was inspitte of not because of JAAA
@@winngriff prove it

1 gold, 3 silver & 2 bronze... Dismal support for the athletes; but not dismal performances by the athletes.
I get your point and I understand your position. However, do you think all the athletes who failed to make the finals performed at their best? Do you think they believed that they did their best? I could assure you that if you had a conversation with both female 100m hurdlers, both male 110m hurdlers, women 4x400m etc they all would say that their performances were dismal.
Something needs to be looked at at why so many of our athletes are injured all at once
true cubie, gg not qualified, if he knew the rules kishane would be sharing gold with noah
Both countries always have the same end goal. But the approach is drastically different.
Greetings Dr Haughton, is it possible for you to get on board and coach these quarter milers both male and females. Also the 4x4 relay teams, I am aware of the fact that you are a very busy individual.

Fans in the diaspora overseas should be able to access a vote on the nomination or election of these people. Can’t work.
Maurice Wilson needs to go...
@BM-ps4pn: These people were fine in the successful years of the past. Now they're scapegoats.
I agree they should all resign.. changes need to be made and quickly too… I said so on a popular platform and the host responded by asking if “ (management) caused the top athletes to be injured”.but unbiased people all see what the real problems are.

@BM-ps4pn: None of those people are responsible for the athletes being burned out.
Im with you people all the way
Maybe that’s why Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake quit
Quit, where you get that from both of them time we're up.. But I agree some Shake up need to happen with these people.
@@jamdum2290 well Usain said “ it wasn’t fun anymore” and that’s why he left. Maybe it was due to internal drama.

Samuda needs to go, but he is protected by his lodge brothers so he is immoveable. He is cocky as hell and does no work.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH 😢😢
I wish it wouldn't have cut off so abruptly. It was starting to get good.

Things need to change now
New time new people
Juliet is corrupt aswell
The issue of funding must be discussed, I think Jamaica is missing out a a huge funding source. If you look at the UK, their success across all sports isn't about talent, it's funding. Their athletes are not funded by the government but the lottery, every year a percentage of the lottery profits must go to funding sports across the country, from school to professionals athletes.
Jamaicans need to go visit the ppl in charge of the jaaa and joa all carrying pick axe sticks and remove them from office.
The best solution is to get those dinosaurs off the management team and clean house .
Time's up for some boy, they cannot inspired the young generation, we have lots of new blood ready to step in the this, don't play with our girls, don't play with our money, don't play with our food and do not play with our athletic teams. 🎉
Dr Greg, may I suggest that you along with your colleagues, may consider creating a inclusive sport authority..
A new start is the only way.

@Kimanievans 168: Your athietes are being ovetrained because of the country's obsession to beat the Americans.
Nonsense. The biggest problem is the corruption and incompetence at the top in the governing bodies.
The blame should be laid at the feet of all Jamaicans for the level of pressure they put on their athletes to always win.
The weak link is the governing bodies (JAAA & JOA). Until things change at the top the athletics program will continue to decline.
