All the best to Benjamin Azamati, Saminu Abdul Rasheed & Isaac Botsio.

My (support) work is done but continues strongly right after the Olympics. Wishing you nothing but the best. The way forward is to take each round as final. All the best and good luck to Team Ghana.

The road to the Olympics is an intentional and well-strategised plan. For these athletes, it is impossible to be at the right meets without the right decisions, partnerships/links, travel to and fro, and constant communication. Thanks to the coaches, agents and meet organisers who contributed to this feat.

Saminu Abdul Rasheed ran 20.67 in 200m.

But narrowly missed the podium in a close call, placing 4th at the 2024 Douala Senior African Championship in Cameroon.

The 3rd position went to Emmanuel Eseme Allobwede of Cameroon beating Resheed with one centisecond.

For those who requested a copy of my doctoral dissertation, it is now available on line. Please visit the link in the comment section. You can click on it to read or download it.

Significantly, my study shows that Ghana’s government policies regarding sport for sustainable development are clearly formulated and widely promoted, echoing trends in Zambia and other nations. However, my findings are entrenched within four notable social mechanisms/barriers comprising the following:
1. Politics – skewed allocation of sport funds towards football.
2. Socio-cultural dynamics – patriarchal nature of Ghanaian society, religious beliefs and entrenched perceptions of gender roles, attitudes towards persons with disabilities and pervasive football culture.
3. Organisation conditions – lack of sufficient funds, qualified sports leaders and women in leadership roles.
4. Institutional frameworks – absence of clear policy implementation guidelines, non-inclusive policy making process and limited legitimacy of Sport for Development (SDP) organisations.

These challenges compromise Ghana’s commitment to using sports as a tool for sustainable development. Visit the comment section to read more...

The story continues, Saminu Abdul Rasheed is just in the middle of the book. The story has officially gone beyond the village. The world is now aware of "THE EAGLE" 🦅.

Relentless first individual outing, representing Ghana at the Senior level. More to come from Rasheed.

If you know Isaac Botsio you will know that "it is just a matter of time". Great performance at the 2024 African Senior Championship at Cameroon.

This is his first individual int. championship having represented Ghana in the relays at the 2024 Bahamas World Relay Championship.

Can't wait for the next chapter with Isaac.
