ASM: We at African Sports Monthly seek to help improve the sports landscape across Africa by our in-depth stories and articles about issues that affect the development and growth of sports. What can you tell the rest of Africa about a program like TOP PHYVE and also a career choice like yours that can help to elevate sports in many other countries that do not have the capacity and knowledge that you possess in order for them to invest in such areas?
