"Football supporters naturally celebrate goals and trophies. Administrators must celebrate systems. Because long after today’s scoreline has been forgotten, the systems we build today will determine the scorelines Zimbabwe enjoys tomorrow. Great football nations are not built by chance. They are built one player, one coach, one competition, one database and one generation at a time. Statistics and scores matter, but in the end, it is the system that produces both."
