Ms. Wendy Naa Deide Sampah has encouraged young people to actively participate in functional sports activities.

Highlighting the advantages of functional sports, she emphasized that it enhances physical fitness and provides engaging and dynamic experiences for participants and spectators alike.

As a member of the International Technical Officers of the Functional Sports League Ghana, Ms. Sampah outlined the numerous benefits of involvement, including opportunities for socialization and learning from diverse and resourceful individuals within the community.

She commended Mr. Charles Owusu Ansah, President of the Ghana Functional Sports League, and Awal Mohammed, the winner of the inaugural national championships, held over two days at the Zulka Astro Turf Park and Idrowhyt Events Centre.

Beyond her advocacy, Ms. Sampah is a multi-talented individual—a teacher, photojournalist, producer, sports enthusiast, health advocate, philanthropist, and founder of the Wendy Foundation.

Functional sports, a specialized form of training, focus on enhancing athletic performance while minimizing the risk of injury by preparing the body for specific sports-related activities.
