Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.

Today we are hearing about a hurdler from Trindad andTobagoand learning the phrases right attitude and role model.

For many athletes, school is where they first start their sport and that is true for hurdler, Jehue Gordon.

Jehue is one of best 400m hurdlers in his country, Trindad andTobago.

Let's hear from BBC reporter Laura Trevelyan who has been to meet Jehue and visit his school where it all started.

Listen for the phrases right attitude and role model.

It all started in this classroom at Belmont Boys' Secondary School where Jehue learnt to hurdle under the watchful eye of his teacher, Albert King, who immediately noticed his pupil's potential. As well as his natural ability, Mr King could see that Jehue had the right attitude. Jehue excelled in the classroom as well as on the track. This school made him what he is and now he's a role model for all the boys here.
