Soccer Training Journal ⚽

Good day! Before we hop into the football training reports, we would like to briefly talk about the country, Nigeria, and the youths. If you're a Nigerian, you would be aware of the current hardships masses are going through.

Every damn thing is costly including food and Naira keeps crashing against the Dollar, as I'm writing this, a dollar is closer to #500 which was around #300-400. In other words, the Nigerian economy is becoming unsustainable to many. This is what led to the youths protesting and demanding a better Nigeria, but instead of the Governments to listen to their people, they interrupted the protest by deploying soldiers and police to kill and arrest the young protesters.

The intimidation led to many people stop protesting on the streets and focusing on the internet and justice for those that are dead and wounded, but right now the protest is back again. The peaceful protest started again yesterday in Lagos around so many locations, Lekki, Mushin, etc. with the hope that many states will join as the protest continues. A few days before the protest started again we also took part by stating the #EndSARS stickers and banners around our vicinities and federal roads.

We pray for a better Nigeria where a child of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody!

Training ⚽

Football is a sport of consistency, persistence, and perspiration. Oh Sorry! Everything in life takes those elements to succeed. We may be reporting jogging and drills in most of our training reports and some might be thinking that why jogging and drills every training day, it’s because it's super necessary.

The training was great, the activities we did are what we've been doing and used to. Below are the photos that were taken from the training :)

The training keeps getting exciting as the boys are catching up with what is being put into them. Thanks for reading this piece and have a nice day!
