Naikelekelevesi says it’ll be good to impart his experience to our upcoming athletes.

“I have friends calling me already that they want me to help them with the children and some of the schools as well, most of my ex-teammates, they are coaches in a lot of schools in Fiji, they’ve approached me to come over and see them and maybe help each other out”.

The former national rep featured in Athletics Fiji’s first 2021 competition two weeks ago.
