THIS IS WHY I STARTED. .
I am a product of a grassroots coach. Someone who showed up for me with no resources, no recognition, just pure belief that I could become something great.
And I did. By God’s grace, I play for @PSG_Feminines and I captain the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
But as my career grew, I started to notice something that broke my heart.
The coaches doing this work every single day across Nigeria on grassroots pitches, in communities, with barely any resources, no one is investing in them.
No certificate. No formal training. No support. Just passion. Just love for the game.
So I made a decision.
I started the Rasheedat Ajibade Foundation NIS Coaching Education Scholarship because I believe that if you invest in the coach, you invest in every single player they will ever coach for the rest of their career and for the rest of their lives.
Behind every great Nigerian athlete is a coach who believed in them first.
Let us invest in those coaches.
If you believe what I believe that Nigerian sport changes from the ground up, not the top down, share this. Invest in this. Be a part of this.

People who don’t watch all competitions, like the Africa Cup, shouldn’t call themselves experts. A lot of people think it’s a surprise but anyone who watches AFCON knows how strong Cape Verde really is. No surprise
Olise has Kane at club level & Mbappé + co. at international level..
Dembélé has a Doué, Kvara at club level & Mbappé + co. at international level.
Yamal has Ferran Torres at club level and Ferran Torres at international level.
I feel sorry for the guy.
