Guyanese youth completes training at high-performance centre in Miami

TIMES INT'L

Guyana’s Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) guard Dominic Vincente recently returned from a high-performance training centre in Miami, Florida and is confident the experience will improve his game.
The 19-year-old guard of Marian Academy received the opportunity after performing creditably at a training programme in Suriname where he was the best defensive player.

Vincente, who plays with the pass first mentality but can hit the open outside jumper as well as getting to the rim, revealed that the training in Miami was of a higher intensity.
“It is very rigorous, it’s a lot of intensity you have to use towards drills because all the coaches like to see the intensity because it normally carries over into the game,” Vincente stated.
“When I first went there I started off passing and the coaches had a talk with me and told me ‘we love your passing but you still have to score’ and like two or three weeks after that I started to get buckets and the coaches like me for that because now I can pass and score and I became a combo guard because in Guyana I used to pass first,” Vincente related.
Further, the Marian Academy former student believes that the stint has helped him become a defensive specialist, as the coaches relied on him heavily for stops during games. (Excerpt from Guyana Times Sport)
