Mario Vanterpool has set himself a clear mission: to return the Lady Tridents to their former standards and push them even further by 2026.
Speaking with Saturday Sport, the 38-year-old coach, who has experience at youth, senior men’s and international women’s levels, outlined his long-term vision for women’s football in Barbados, with particular emphasis on the Senior Women’s National Team.
The Lady Tridents, who endured a prolonged absence from competitive action, received a boost this year with the appointment of former national player Kerry Trotman as head coach. Vanterpool believes that renewed leadership, coupled with player buy-in, will be key to the team’s resurgence.
“If we can get the Lady Tridents firing on all cylinders and the players fully buying into what the coaching staff are trying to do, that sets us up well heading into 2026,” he said.
