My Take

Brent Sancho's life reads like a screenplay. A 183 cm centre-back from Port of Spain who studied at St. John's University, he defended for his country on the pitch and then, in 2015, became Trinidad and Tobago's Minister of Sports. The symmetry delights me: a man whose job was protecting a goal moving to protect his nation's interests, crowned by the Chaconia Medal. I love stories of athletes from small Caribbean nations who reach the world stage and then give back. To convert a playing career into genuine public service takes real conviction, and that earns my deep admiration.
