Mr. Sandy Osei Agyeman delivering his address

 Many people have creat­ed the impression that sports is reserved for students who cannot cope with their academic pursuits and therefore, look down on those who develop interest in sports.

Unfortunately, people who hold such perceptions have been proved wrong when Mr Sandy Osei Agyemang, a former National Sprinter and Ghana’s Olympic star, at two different competitions, shared a few thoughts with students and pupils of North Legon Little Campus at Ma­dina on Friday, March 25th, 2023.

Addressing the school’s fifth sports programme, Mr Sandy Osei Agyemang, who represented Ghana in 100 and 200 metre-sprint at the Olympic Games at Munich in Germany and Montreal in Canada respectively in the 1970’s, said time manage­ment was an important factor in the formation of a good habit.

He said time manage­ment would help students to apportion their time equally to the various programmes they studied at school.

Mr Osei Agyemang called on the students to be guided by their thoughts, be focused, combine their dreams with prayers which would eventually help them in developing their faith in God.

He said what he had envisaged as a young person to become in life, guided him to be who he is today.

He advised the students to be consistent and develop the interest in sports since it would make them to be smarter and faster.

The Director of the school, Mr Douglas Djarbeng described Mr Sandy Osei Agyemang as a man of many parts, said having worked very hard Mr Osei Agyemang who has obtained BSC in Finance, Master’s in Finan­cial Management, and has a company that manufactures hair and skin products has endeared himself to many Ghanaians.

The Djarbeng House won this year’s competition with 110 points, Yartey House followed with 104 points, Nunno House gathered 78 points to place third and Cof­ie House obtained 72 points.
