But that talent has to have proper coaching to achieve excellence. So both athletes and coaches are getting a work-out from a top-level coach from the United States.

Shawn Venable of Oral Roberts University says Belize has much potential, but it is personal attitude that will lift them above the rest.

The BAA’s vice president Daland Jones says that the camp, being held at the Marion Jones Sport Complex, is open for all ages through Wednesday and is free.
