Bola Tafou, Athletics Fiji’s long-distance coach, has emphasized the importance of dedicated training for athletes aiming to represent Fiji in the upcoming Pacific Mini Games next year. With the event taking place from June 29 to July 9, 2025, in Koror, Palau, Tafou addressed the urgency for athletes to commence serious preparations at once.
Having a proven track record of coaching elite athletes, including the renowned Banuve Tabakaucoro, Tafou pointed out that it typically takes over a year to prepare an athlete to compete at a high level. He stressed that immediate action is essential for athletes wanting to surpass their performances from the 2023 Pacific Games held in the Solomon Islands.
For those looking to enhance their skills, Tafou has been actively conducting an Athletics Camp aimed at young athletes, which will continue until January. This initiative provides a nurturing environment where coaches are readily available to offer guidance and support.
Tafou’s call to action serves as a motivating reminder for athletes that with focused training and commitment, they can elevate their performance on an international stage.
In a broader context, this commitment from the coaching staff reflects a growing dedication to fostering talent and achieving success for Fiji in future competitions. Athletes who seize this opportunity will not only improve their skills but also contribute to the nation’s sporting legacy.
