Setting-up young footballers for an Irreversible Growth and Extraordinary Success in Life
Football has always been more than just a game; it’s a passion that drives aspiring kids from around the world. For young footballers dreaming of making it to the professional level, a strong foundation and the right guidance are crucial.
We know at top flight, football is more than just what meets the eyes, and only the ones that have solid foundation can overcome the vagaries of the sport. For the General Overseer (GO) of Tops Football Academy at Boarder stadium Olowora Berger, Coach Ajayi Olugbenga, believes it's better to catch them young and to start instilling in them the right foundation from thieir tender age.
This is the reason he agreed to a partnership with 100% Jesus Football Outreach, a Loveworld fellowship group from Christ Embassy Ojodu 1 that started foundation school classes for these young footballers in training.
We're Not Just Playing Games, We're Building Lives
"We're not just teaching the kids how to play football, we're also exploring their passion for the game to begin to build their lives and guide them in the right direction."
"A lot of footballers from this part of the world fail to succeed in their football career because they didn't go through a well structured developmental process. This is the reason they are easily swayed away and derailed by the pump and Pageantries associated with sports," Benson Chukwueke explained.
