When asked about their experience while working and representing the resort in sports, McKnight, a butler, shared, “the teamwork and camaraderie worked well for us. The managers at the resort help to inspire hope within us as more than just a philosophy but a purpose. We remain one team and operate as a family whether at the resort or on the field.”

Claude Williams highlighted how the success of the team has been spurred by the support of the resort. “Our success on the field is just as important as off the field. As hospitality professionals, we believe and practice the skills that we have gained here at BTC in working as a team by providing the best in everything that we do.

The support that we have received over the many years from leaders at the resort gave us the additional drive to always give of our best as we represent a global brand at all times.”
