In this episode I sit down with Darren, an athlete with rich Jamaican and Guyanese heritage, to explore his latest venture, Backcourt, which is set to transform Caribbean sports experiences. From the monumental Jamaica Boys and Girls Champs to the pulse-pounding cricket matches, Darren shares how Backcourt aims to offer the most authentic and electrifying sports tourism packages.
Cricket fans, this one's for you! Discover how the T20 format, spearheaded by the Indian Premier League (IPL), is breathing new life into cricket, capturing hearts in North America, and opening up economic opportunities across the Caribbean. Darren dives into the cultural impact of these sporting events, how they unite communities, and the business motivations behind Backcourt's vision to capitalize on the burgeoning sports tourism sector.
But that's not all. We also delve into the vibrant track and field scene in Jamaica, where investors and legends like Michael Johnson are working to popularize sprinting through innovative competitions. Darren recounts his experiences at the iconic Penn Relays and shares Backcourt’s ambitious plans, from cricket match packages to golf trips and Caribbean Premier League events.
