The billboard glows on the horizon: CARIBBEAN HIGH PERFORMANCE CAMPUS. The progress bar underneath reads LOADING… and has been loading, by all accounts, for several years.
In the foreground, the actual campus. Dirt track. Chain-link fence. A handful of young athletes in green and yellow Guyana training kits, sprinting between traffic cones - some of which are real cones and some of which are water bottles wearing cone hats. One tire on the ground stands in for the resistance equipment.
The coach has the megaphone. TRAIN WHERE YOU ARE, he calls out. PICTURE WHERE YOU GOING.
To the right, the day’s notice board: TODAY’S EQUIPMENT SPONSOR: CREATIVITY. The water bottle marked CONE has been pressed into service for a fourth consecutive season.
At the bottom of the frame, the line that gets stitched onto every Caribbean sports kit eventually: TRAIN WHERE YOU ARE. PICTURE WHERE YOU GOING.
