The Inside Track by Jocelyn Robiot

adidas International executive Jocelyn Robiot discusses the importance of developing the sport’s future stars in today’s “The Inside Track” guest column. “The Inside Track” is a six-part guest columnist series that will serve as a prelude to the adidas Grand Prix on Saturday, June 12, at Icahn Stadium in New York City.

Robiot, who is the Vice President Global Sports Marketing for adidas International, highlights the company’s commitment to its range of stars, from established athletes such as Veronica Campbell-Brown and Jessica Ennis to developing runners Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade: “Our commitment doesn’t stop with the names everyone knows.

Without supporting the young Blakes and Ashmeades, there will be no future Campbell-Browns or Ennises.” Click here to read the full article.
