Maj Gen Zyeele urged the sports men and women to be ambitious and skillful during competitions. He stressed that sports men and women should believe in themselves and treat every competition as the beginning of another.
“Stay focused, stay healthy and train hard to compete easy,” Maj Gen Zyeele emphasised.
