Minister of Sports and Recreation Designate, Kofi Adams, has called for a reverse pyramid model to develop athletes for the nation.
He said this when he appeared before the Parliamentary Vetting Committee after getting nominated for the position.
Kofi Adams, who is regarded as a boxing enthusiast, called a change in approach to prepare Ghanaian athletes for international competitions while responding to a question from former Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif.
“We will improve grassroots sports and we are going to go back to the Inter Colleges days because you need to catch them and train them from that point. You don’t let them mature to a certain stage before you start investing in them.”
“We want the reverse of the pyramid and make sure that the pyramid stands with the base being larger and broader then as it picks when it becomes commercially viable, you reduce investment.”
High school sports in Ghana has hit a snag in recent years over lack of funding and inconsistent education curriculum.
