Bola Tafou, the long-distance coach for Athletics Fiji, is calling on athletes to dedicate themselves to rigorous training as they aim to represent Fiji in the upcoming Pacific Mini Games next year. With the event scheduled to take place in Koror, Palau from June 29 to July 9, 2025, Tafou emphasizes that time is of the essence, and immediate action is crucial for success.
Tafou, recognized for his work with elite athletes like Pacific Sprint King Banuve Tabakaucoro, explains that it takes over a year to develop an athlete to compete at a high level. Therefore, those looking to enhance their performance following the 2023 Pacific Games in the Solomon Islands should start their preparations without delay.
For young athletes, Tafou has set up an Athletics Camp that will run until January, providing valuable opportunities for skill development. He reassures that coaches are readily available to support athletes seeking guidance in their training efforts.
This proactive approach underlines a vital message: dedication and preparation are key elements in achieving success in competitive sports. Athletes and coaches working together can foster a strong foundation for the future, enhancing not only individual performances but also Fiji’s presence in regional athletics.
It’s an inspiring reminder that hard work and commitment can lead to remarkable achievements on the international stage.
