Two-time Olympian and national table tennis ace player Chelsea Edghill aims to shift the low thinking of how sports are viewed locally to that of it being viewed professionally, with her newly minted Edge Sports Management (ESM) consultancy that seeks to provide services in sport, athlete and sports event management
“I am focusing on policy and strategy development in sport management generally. It took a lot of courage on my part to be very public about this and to offer solutions to areas where a lot of people don’t think it is possible,” Edghill told Stabroek Weekend during a recent interview.
The 27-year-old took the initiative to launch her company after being advised to host a tournament and submitting an events management proposal to sponsors who were impressed with it.
