Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) tells us ldquoWith confidence you have won before you have startedrdquo He maintained we are born champions and it is therefore up to each individual to unearth their natural talent

Nanny of the Maroons was an excellent leader skilled in organising the guerrilla warfare carried out by the Eastern Maroons to elude the British troops who attempted to penetrate the mountains to overpower them Her leadership skills are an inspiration for us to be leaders in our communities and in the sporting

arena by making informed anti-doping decisions

Samuel Sharpe or ldquoDaddy Sharperdquo as he was affectionately called was the main instigator of the 1831 Slave Rebellion which began on the Kensington Estate in St James and was instrumental in paving the way to the abolition of slavery

He along with Paul Bogle and George William Gordon through their work encouraged us to stand up for what is fair and just

Norman Washington Manley and Sir Alexander Bustamante can be considered the fathers of independent Jamaica They believed in a country that could truly represent itself on the world stage and make a name for itself and they worked to make that happen

Like our forebearers we at JADCO encourage you to be the heroes of our generation setting examples for the next generation to follow by ldquoplaying truerdquo

You too can make a difference Excellence is yours

Rev Dr Patricia Holness Vice-Chairman of the JADCO Board of Directors is truly a passionate

financial mind with strong faith in God that drives her very being She was born in Spanish Town St Catherine Jamaica and is the third of five children Originating from humble beginnings Dr Holness attributes her success to her dependence on the Lord Jesus and her parents She describes her mother who was a Dressmaker as a virtuous woman and her father who worked with the Ministry of Health as a Driver as motivated and brilliant Her parents also taught her to be a well-rounded individual to love Jesus and to be sensitive to the needs of those in her surroundings

Dr Holness describes her childhood as one filled with happiness and emersion in Godrsquos favour A past student of All Saints Preparatory School Dr Holness sat the Common Entrance Examination at age nine and gained a full scholarship to St Jago High School where she was involved in sport the debating society

and drama She participated in the Schools Drama Festival during her tenure at St Jago and graduated with Ordinary and Advanced level subjects

A proud mother of five children who are all born-again Christians and active in industry Dr Holness has been married for more than 35 years Dr Holness and her husband currently co-pastor an Apostolic Assembly Church in Spanish Town Dr Holness lives by the philosophy ldquoMy life is not my own and that it is necessary that I find the purpose for which I was created understanding that ldquoI can do all things through Christ who strengthens merdquo Her motto in life comes from the words of a song her late mother taught her ldquoIf I can help somebody as I pass along then my living shall not be in vainrdquo

True Spirit recently spoke with Dr Holness and this is what she shared with us

Do you have an interest in sport

I have always had great interest in sport In high school I participated in netball lawn tennis track and field (100 yds 220 yds 880 yds shot put long jump high jump discus hurdles 4 x 100 relay) As an adult I enjoy watching and supporting sporting events especially athletics and netball

Tell us about your vision for sport in Jamaica the Caribbean and worldwide

My vision for sport in Jamaica is that all our athletes will excel to their maximum potential and that public education on anti-doping is communicated as widely as possible reaching as many athletes so that they are aware of how high integrity sport can enhance their image both locally and internationally

I also believe that churches can use sport to bring the youth of Jamaica together with a view of supporting a born again experience reducing unhealthy conflicts and securing professional success

What is your vision for the Commission

I have had a very short time serving with the Commission We are blessed with a leader who believes in excellence and supports the efforts of all Commissioners and the JADCO staff I have also learnt a lot from the current team members My vision is therefore to see JADCO become a household name among Jamaican athletes knowing that JADCOrsquos actions will help to make the names of all Jamaican athletes synonymous with high integrity sport and competitors who are committed to making sport doping free Additionally that we as Commissioners be focused

What is your vision for Jamaica and all Jamaicans

My vision for Jamaica is that all our people will understand that the role each of us plays in life is unique and our purpose does not have to mirror anyone elsersquos life We need to bloom in our own garden and never be distracted by the success or failure of others My vision is that all Jamaicans treat each day as a day to act in the interest of Jamaica There are many well documented plans let us take even one and make a specific contribution to ensure it materialises

What advice do you have for athletes and athlete support personnel in sport

To all our athletes I must first say I am proud of you and the significance you have brought to Jamaica Let us all be conscious that at all times each athlete represents himself his family

Jamaica and the sporting arena Each individualrsquos actions in the sporting arena will impact and send ripples in sport for good or evil Therefore let us keep our focus on being excellent as achieved through hard work determination high integrity and Godrsquos support

What would you say to athletes to encourage them to stay clean

I must reiterate to our athletes that all Jamaica is extremely proud of your achievements I would therefore like you to be cognisant of the importance of your legacy So please donrsquot allow doping to taint your career and legacy Responding to the temptation to dope is like allowing an egg filled with potential for life to fall to the ground ldquoA broken egg cannot be put together againrdquo
