“We fazed our approach to the tournament and we are in the penultimate stage…we have done everything that we should have done.
The last two bits are now the international exposure and the mental preparation for the same. The international exposure will come as we gear up for our first build-up match in Pretoria and another set of four or so matches.
In between we shall do more mental preparations to convince ourselves that we are ready and good to go and we shall conquer this small little challenge that is before us. We are ready,” he explained.
In the women’s category, Team Kenya has been grouped in pool B and they will be up against Ghana, Namibia, and Zambia.
The veteran coach added that they do conditioning and they do it with benchmarks and they have hit their targets.
“We have engaged in local matches, playing against the male sides. We chose the opposite gender because we want to test our physicality and speed and we have been able to match that.
