Teaching Olympic Values in St. Vincent and the Grenadines

The modern revival of the Olympic Games in the 19th century was an educational project. Pierre de Coubertin launched a campaign to celebrate the health, values and athletic talent of youth in an effort to honour the individual athlete and unite communities around the world. With this, I was inspired to remind children the roots of the Olympic movement; Friendship, Respect and Excellence. I hope with a sport context children will come to understand what these words really mean and how they can practice them on and off the field of play.
