This would involve partnering with specialists in the field. We Ghanaians often become footballers by vision, not by skills or training, and they need to be properly trained and coached. You need to go through a disciplined process to become a footballer. Even if you were born with talent, you still have to undergo proper training,&#8221; he said.  <\/p>\n<p>He also outlined plans to address the educational system&#8217;s lack of structured knowledge on sports development and its integration.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So that process of educating yourself\u2014learning about economics and other subjects\u2014while also being trained on what to eat, how to behave, how to discipline yourself, how to avoid eating certain things, and how to protect your body, especially your legs, is missing from our schools,&#8221; he added.  <\/p>\n<p>FKA\/EK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nana Kwame Bediako, leader of The New Force Independent presidential candidate and leader of The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, has revealed his plans to reform Ghana&#8217;s sports industry if elected President.
