Former All African Games 100meter record holder, Leonard Myles Mills is confident Ghana will win three medals in the Africa Athletics Championship which starts on Friday in Nairobi, Kenya.
The Ghanaian team will be led by Aziz Zakari former gold medalist in the men’s 100m and 200m.
He will be joined by another former gold medalist in the long jump discipline Ignatius Gaisah alongside female hepthathlete Margaret Simpson.
But the former sprinter tells Joy Sports this competition needs a special mind set to win laurels.
“When it comes to competition it is 50-50. Fifty per cent physically fit and fifty percent psychologically fit. If you are 100 per cent physically fit to compete you think, and psychologically you are not in tune for the competition you are as useless as a dead horse.”
Mills was optimistic with the chances of Aziz Zakari, given his level of experience but was concerned with the new comers.
Meanwhile on the future of Ghana’s Athletics, the renowned sprinter believes with the few changes in the hierarchy of the Association, Ghana will take the continent by storm as it was in the early 80’s.
