AsabaNYG 2023

Congratulations to all the participants @ the AsabaNYG2023 🎉🎊


#AsabaNYG2023 has yet again provided an avenue for the national U-15 athletes to explore their raw talents for intrinsic purposes without any external gains. 


The purpose of the U-15 championships is to "discover", "catch" and "harness" the raw potentials. The young stars are like canoes at this stage and require skills, initiative, experience and knowledge of the sport to paddle them to the destinations of their various sports. 


To the podium athletes, it's not the time to assume you're the number (1) one yet, those who finished last at this championships may later become the National icons in a few years to come. All you need at this point is discipline, hard work, consistency, trust in the building processes and pray. 💯 💪 


To those who didn't win, you may not have won at this championships, but keep on believing in yourself, trust your coach as well as your building process. The destination is just a few metres away. To encourage you further, most of the superstar athletes were never their countries' under-age competition winners, they kept working hard-hard until they saw their dreams become reality. 


To the coaches and administrators, it's time to design or resign a sustainable programme, hosting more schools games, and National U-16, U-18 and U-20 competitions that will keep these talents in check and groom them till they get to that very stage and not watch them dwindle while trying to compete with their senior counterparts. 


The future is certainly bright for Nigeria's 🇳🇬 sports 🎉🎊💪


Dynamic AF.
