Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>I\u2019ve become more interested and passionate about leadership months after enrolling for a master\u2019s degree course in Organisational Leadership and Governance at the University of Ghana Business School. This partly led me to keenly follow the 2022 Africa Women\u2019s Sports Summit (AWSS) in Accra, which among edifying topics, focused on leadership in African sports from women\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

I was impressed with the discussants\u2019 viewpoints on various subjects, the audience\u2019s interactivity and developments at the summit. The participants were administrators from various sporting disciplines and women sports journalists. I missed the two previous editions of the summit but my close interest this time has given me finer insights into the inexhaustible experiences of women in sports on the continent vis-\u00e0-vis leadership.<\/p>\n

Not resting on laurels was the pivot of Second Lady, Hajia Samira Bawumia\u2019s message, which departed from the boring long talk speakers from the political class give at such gatherings. Samira Bawumia\u2019s speech was straight to the point. It focused partly on the achievements of sports women in Africa and why more women should be encouraged in any sporting discipline they find themselves.<\/p>\n

She congratulated Hasaacas Ladies\u2019 Evelyn Badu for her recent CAF awards; South Africa\u2019s Banyana Banyana for their 2022 Women\u2019s African Cup of Nations title win as well as Nigeria\u2019s Tobi Amusan\u2019s 100-metre hurdles feat at the World Championships. The Second Lady, therefore, urged women in sports to relentlessly pursue excellence.<\/p>\n

Women in sports face challenges \u2013 unjustifiable, gender-related abuse in most cases. Broadcast Journalist and AWSS Founder, Juliet Bawuah deserve commendation for going beyond just reporting and interpreting news for her audience to boldly create a useful platform with the AWSS summit to lead, educate and encourage sports women that, anything they aspire is achievable with knowledge, discipline and perseverance.<\/p>\n

Calls to remove artificial barriers to opportunities for sports women are as necessary as the counsel to sports women to Be the Change. Both are instructive. So vital for me is the \u201cwider subject of leadership in sports in Africa\u201d and the need to build fine, \u201cstronger institutions\u201d for sports development and roles played by women clearly seen.<\/p>\n

Sports women have to take their rightful place, whether it\u2019s in administration, coaching, marketing, medicine or media. They don\u2019t have to be hindered. We don\u2019t have to put impediments their pursuit of ambitions in the sports sector. Women need not be their own enemies too, undermining others who\u2019ve taken prominent, front-roll seats.<\/p>\n

The enlightened panel; Lawyer and CAF Match Commissioner, Naa Odofoley Nortey; Chief Executive Officer of Tanzania\u2019s Simba Sports Club, Barbara Gonzalez; and South African journalist, Thato Moeng of SuperSport, who were quizzed by the endearing host, Miriam Osei-Agyeman, stressed the need for women to support women.<\/p>\n

Paying rapt attention to the conversations, my takeaway is Thato Moeng\u2019s closing remarks on being intentional in life; the media\u2019s gate-keeping role, and, research.<\/p>\n

Being intentional is being deliberate with choices and plans. For women in sports, as journalists and of course, society\u2019s leaders, this advice is imperative to making desired impact. Research leads to discovering information to provide solutions to problems. For the media, our gatekeeping role must be played well to provide right environment for sports development.<\/p>\n
