"MY HOBBY"

No doubt playing Football is my life's hobby.
I have gained lot's of experience from it.
I started playing Football from 245 recce Battalion Afi Barracks Ikom Cross river state. At age 16 I gave a request to train with senior squad. And a condition was given that I must be of high standards just to be part of the team.
But at the process I was discouraged by the coach and some managing staffs because of my inability to find a preferred position and I lacked pace, speed, agility, dribbling skills and finishing touches.

WHY I LOVE FOOTBALL

I Love football because it's no time waste, it's an experience game and fun to be part of.
As a result of inconsistency in picking up I was relegated to the under 12's squad.
There i began training immediately and was deployed as a Wing forward (left or right) or attacking midfielder.
There i has so many chances and trial's to learn and cope up.

The coach encourages me of being the best one day and I kept by his word
I played so many youth's friendly and tournament. And I gained experience, learnt alot, not just in football aspect but academically, psychologically and we'll disciplined. I trained with the under 12's squad for 2 years.
At 18, my improvements and promising performance caught the eye's of the first team's coach and I was again given another opportunity to get into the first team squad for the second time.
Consistency was still by Priority and it payed.
I immediately started training session's with my teammates and began to learn so many thing's by default.

My improvements was observed and I was give an opportunity to be named in the substitute in a friendly match against local rivals. Unfortunately I was an unused sub but was still encouraged by the team's coach that the fact that I didn't played doesn't mean I wouldn't get some minute's someday, I kept by this word.
I had the second opportunity and was named in the starting lineup in a Friendly match and I managed to bag an assist in the first half and was rested in the second.

I remain consistent and became one of coach's favorite, and u was exposed to so many positions in attack and that lead to my ability to play from different positions in attack.
I became a key player and u proved haters wrong.
An inter Battalion Tournament was hosted in 245 recce Battalion Afi Barracks Ikom, there we were separated into 10 different teams, I was part of team B.

I was a key player in my team as I helped them through to the finals, it was unfortunate that my effort's wasn't enough to be the winner of the tournament, and my team was the second best in the competition.
Then I was given the award of the Young Best attacker of the tournament. This what I never believed but worked towards it and it payed through consistency.
