Monrovia, Liberia – The Liberia Tennis Federation’s newly elected president has unveiled plans to steer the organization in the right direction by implementing five pillars that are consistent with teamwork.
In a Wednesday interview in Monrovia, Paul Jamal King stated that the federation’s first objective is to be structured so that they may have a fixed calendar for each activity.
He desires that tennis clubs or institutions owned by other people operate in accordance with federation regulations in order to improve transformation.
“The national tennis facilities are in terrible shape, so we’re planning a complete overhaul to bring them up to code. Male and female national team setup from junior to senior levels, league hosting, coach training, and team formation are still essential. Building a tennis house for our national team players is another development on the list.”
“I want to initiate the same kind of change here that I witnessed when I visited the tennis federations in Ghana and Nigeria. I would like coaches from our federation to be sent there for training. Even though some of our instructors are equally qualified, we still need to establish a rapport with them.”
The Liberian Tennis Federation President has also said that, as a businessman, he will work with the private sector to seek sponsorship to help raise at least a million United States dollars to enable them to transform the federation.
“You must realize that everyone was doing the best they could throughout the nearly ten years the federation operated without legitimate leadership, and we are unable to hold them responsible. On the other hand, we schedule league hosting and coach training, among other things, after the induction.”
