  • Paige Cadogan

    SECRETARY

    As a past swimmer and advocate for young women empowerment, I am excited to be able to be a part of All Athletes Inc. The principle of bridging the access gap for young individuals within the sporting space and more specifically through personal and academic development is something that resonates with me deeply.

    Although not being an active and current athlete, I am actively involved in young women development and diversity finance groups whose main aims are creating a space for equal opportunities and these organizations have played a significant role in my personal and holistic development.

  • Tahj Bailey

    TREASURER

    I bring a unique perspective to All Athletes Inc. shaped by my personal journey in youth sports. Having experienced the challenges of pursuing athletic dreams without the necessary guidance and support, I understand the impact that a lack of resources can have on young athletes.

    Despite facing obstacles, I have always recognized the intrinsic value of sports in character development, discipline, and fostering a sense of community. Motivated by my own experiences, I am committed to ensuring that no other young individual encounters the same hurdles I faced.

    As Treasurer, I channel my financial acumen and passion for sports to contribute to the mission of the organization—to provide the support and resources that I once longed for as a young athlete.

    DIRECTOR

    Football is my all—it embodies my emotions and truest self. Despite challenges growing up, the game was my solace, transcending material desires. As a passionate football enthusiast, a ball alone sparks immeasurable happiness.

    My love for football ignited ambition. Inspired by the impact of professional athletes, who evoke diverse emotions globally, I strive to contribute to that narrative. I aim to evoke sentiments through the game's beautiful duality of joy and sadness.

    Realizing this demands a relentless mindset, unwavering commitment, and tireless dedication. Yet, with perseverance and hard work, the realm of sports unveils boundless possibilities. To every aspiring young athlete, in football or any sport, I urge belief and persistence—everything is within reach.

  • Solomon Bascombe

    DIRECTOR

    As a budding cricketer and national scholar, I've proudly represented St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the Windwards Islands, and the West Indies. While training daily with professional cricketers, I've witnessed the diverse paths sports can forge. Unfortunately, I've also seen talented individuals slip through the cracks in the Caribbean sports system.

    In response to this, my aim is to collaborate with All Athletes Inc. to address these systemic issues. By working together, we intend to mend these cracks, providing more opportunities for aspiring athletes in the region. My commitment is rooted in ensuring that talent doesn't go unnoticed, fostering a supportive environment that allows athletes to thrive in the Caribbean sports landscape.

    Sports, notably tennis, has shaped my life profoundly since childhood. It's more than physical; it's crafted my mental resilience, discipline, focus, and awareness, elevating both personal and professional facets.

    The journey in sports brought invaluable experiences, forging lasting bonds through regional and global tournaments. Its impact transcends the game, instilling attributes pivotal in overcoming challenges across different realms.

    Securing a tennis scholarship at 18 in Puerto Rico paved the way for my undergraduate studies, enhancing my skills and unveiling unforeseen prospects. Though that chapter has closed, the enduring rewards of dedication persist, underscoring the eternal bond between life in and beyond sports.

It's a conduit that can lead to further education, the pursuit of a professional career, or simply carving out a life rooted in the ethos of sportsmanship.

    The lessons learned on the field transcend the boundaries of the game, instilling discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership - qualities that propel individuals forward in any endeavor they choose to pursue. It's this transformative power of sports that lays the groundwork for countless possibilities, inspiring and shaping the paths of those who follow in its footsteps.
