Norton urges National footballers to be role models
Minister with responsibility of Youth, Culture and Sport Dr. George Norton urged the members of the National Football team, the Golden Jaguars to be role models for society.
Norton made his encouragement when he visited the players at a training session on Wednesday evening at the Guyana Defence Force ground at Camp Ayangana.
“I want you to look at yourself as a role model. You mean a lot to the youths of Guyana and you must think about yourself in that manner”, the Minister stated.
Jaguars are currently in preparation mode for their International Friendly against Grenada on October 7 in the ‘Spice Isle.’

“You have health, you have youth and now you have the opportunity, so consider yourself a privilege lot and I’m expecting a lot from you. Regardless of conditions you are under I still want you to consider this a privilege.”
“We must learn to dream, don’t ever stop dreaming, dream to change your life,” the Minister added.
Before leaving, Norton warned the players become over confident and asked that they remain humble and be proud to represent their country.
