  Look at that incompetent and clueless Akpokavie talking thrash as his disrespectful Dodoo. They have both dismantled the GOC n Athletics. These useless duo must be voted out of the GOC

  This is ridiculous. Buildings don't make champions. The real problem is not the lack of infrastructure or talent. The real problem is the lack of proper andprofessional management of talent and the infrastructure that exists. Of course no corporate body wants to come in and spend money and support Ghana sports because they are business people and they can see that the sports business is being run by people who don't have the management skills to run it properly. So even if you build something it's going to go to ruins and become a waste of money. For the GOC sec general to come and complain about infrastructure and ask for more buildings shows he is not really on top of the situation. Imagine if there were 100 more facilities. Ok? great. Now imagine there were 1000 athletes in different sports. Fantastic you say. BUT WHO IS GOING TO TRAIN THEM AND HOW? the expertise in developing managing and maintaining a cadre of high performing athletes is not there. When a talent comes along, they ruin it and block it like Martha Bissah!MANAGEMENT IS WEAK. FEDERATION PRESIDENTS ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO RUN A PISS UP IN A BREWERY AND THE MINISTRY OF SPORT NEEDS AND THE NATIONAL SPORTS AUTHORITY NEEDS TO BE EMPOWERED TO ASK THEM TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE AND MANAGED PROPERLY UNTIL SUCH TIME THEY CAN PRODUCE RESULTS. CENTRAL PLANNING IS KEY. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN WILLY NILLY AND IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BY BUILDING MORE TRACKS AND FACILITIES THAT JUST GET TRASHED AFTER A FEW YEARS OF NEGLECT. IF THAT IS THE GRAND VISION OF THE CURRENT MANAGEMENT OF THE GOC, AS IT APPEARS HERE FROM THIS STORY, THEN THERE IS NO PLAN AND THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE UNLESS THERE IS CHANGE AT THE TOP.
