Former Coach and Executive Member of the Ghana Taekwondo Association, Mr. Norbert Amefu has attributed the abysmal performance of the Taekwondo team at the just ended All African Games in Maputo, Mozambique, to poor selection by the coach and the inexperience of the players. Mr. Amefu, who was relieved of his position as coach of the team a few weeks before the team’s departure to the Games told Adom Sports Monday that the Maputo performance has been the worst by any Ghana team in all the Taekwondo Championships in Africa. He added that he was compelled to leave the Games village earlier than expected to return to Ghana because he couldn’t look on while the players disgraced the country. “I was there myself, and I have video coverage of the fights, our players were even being evicted after the first rounds and you won’t believe how their opponents disciplined them,” he said. According to Mr. Amefu, he had flagged the issue of selection of inexperienced players by the coach to the Chairman of the Association even before they left for the competition but they failed to listen to him so he was not surprised at the kind of mistakes the players made at the Games. “I told the Chairman that apart from Fatau who eventually won the Bronze medal, the rest of the players as well as their coach were minnows and would falter at the Championship because the scoring system was electronic so those without experience would not find their fights easy but they never agreed with me. I won’t say I am surprised because it is said that when the blind leads another blind, they both fall in the same gutter,” he stated. He reiterated the call for a better coach who knows what he is about to help shape the team ahead of other future competitions. Ghana’s Taekwondo team got just one Bronze medal out of the projected four or five medals in the competition by the National Sports Authority.
