I've coached rowing at Ikeja Trinity Boxing Gym since 2009. Most of my players were between 12 and 17, 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 stay late on Thursdays for anyone who needs it.

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