Former Kotoko and Hearts boss Middendorp joins the “Ghana Rugby COVID-19 ‘Stay safe, healthy and productive’ challenge
Former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak Coach Ernest Middendorp joined the “Ghana Rugby COVID-19 ‘Stay safe, healthy and productive!’ Challenge” issued by its President, Herbert Mensah.
In a video he sent his message to the Ghana Rugby Family and Friends, the German trainer, Middendorp, lamented that is a difficult time for the sports arena, and has accepted the limitations that come with the coronavirus pandemic.
“Stay at home, stay safe! On the other hand, there are so many things that one can do such as reading and writing,” said Middendorp in the video.
Middendorp who currently boss at South Africa giants Kaizer Chiefs, also hinted that he is working on his own biography and will use the lockdown time to try and finish it by the time the lockdown is lifted.
Middendorp was brought to Ghana by former Kotoko chairman Herbert Mensah in 1999 to 2003.
The lockdown challenge by H. Mensah was inspired by a video clip sent to him by the President of the Ghana Olympic Committee, Mr Ben Nunoo Mensah, wherein he illustrated how to use the spaces in the house for daily exercises.
In the challenge, he also again advised everybody to take extraordinary care and to “stay home and stay safe”.
To lead by example, Nunoo Mensah issued his own first video clip and asked the Ghana Rugby Family to do the same.
Ghana Rugby also launched a COVID-19 initiative when it started taking on serious proportions in an attempt to advise and educate the Ghana Rugby Family about how they can and should take part in protecting themselves and others in order to save lives.
