Youth martial arts coach and mentor

I coached martial arts at Kano Baobab Football Club from 1991 to 2025. Most of my players were between 9 and 18, and a lot of them turned into friends for life.
Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I played music while people worked.
More about Funmilayo
Some of my former players now coach their own teams, which is the best thank-you I could ask for.

What gifts mean to Funmilayo: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
