Former Africa Cup of Nations champion Mark Fish, who won the tournament in 1996, is not solely focused on football as the Africa Cup of Nations enters the Round of 16. Fish, now part of the CAF Technical Study team, is currently in San Pedro, Ivory Coast, for the ongoing tournament.
Despite his football commitments, Fish is dedicated to his swimming training in preparation for the aQuellé Midmar Mile, scheduled for February 11. Training wherever he can in San Pedro, Fish emphasizes the discipline needed for both swimming and football preparation, highlighting the similarities in dedication and focus.
While analyzing games at the Africa Cup of Nations, Fish remains committed to participating in the aQuellé Midmar Mile, an event he praises for its fantastic organization and inclusive nature. Fish, a seven-time participant in the Midmar Mile, expresses his love for the event that continues to improve each year.
Swimming alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Isabella, Fish acknowledges the special bond created through their shared participation. Isabella, aiming to beat her previous time by 30 minutes, adds a competitive element to their joint swimming experience.
Despite his prominence in football with 62 caps for Bafana Bafana over 11 years, Fish draws parallels between training for swimming and soccer, emphasizing the discipline, focus, and commitment required for both endeavors. Fish, anticipating this year's aQuellé Midmar Mile, humorously adds that he hopes to finish ahead of his daughter this time.
Offering advice to those considering participating in the Midmar Mile, Fish encourages them to take part, highlighting the fantastic atmosphere, organization, and sense of achievement associated with the event.
