Bodybuilding for Rising Stars of Africa

Hey there,

 

I hope you are having a great day! Thank you for taking the time to stop and read this post.

 

Rising Stars of Africa Academy is a Sports development charity whose vision is to offer coaching, education and financial support to talented young people in Ghana and ultimately to give them the chance to fulfill their sporting potential and to unify their local communities through sport.

The main objectives of the academy is to give the platform to needy but talented children to explore their gifts and make a difference in the community they find themselves.

 

Poverty and lack of education are relentless barriers for many young people in Ghana, and it is these obstacles that Rising Stars of Africa will strive to overcome in order to create sporting and educational opportunities for those individuals who may otherwise be limited by circumstance.

 

In 2016 I was fortunate enough to spend some time doing a Sports Psychologist internship which enabled me to work with young promising Footballers. During this time it allowed me to develop and hone my skills as a Personal Trainer which uses concepts of Sports Psychology to gain a better understanding of the people I work with. Fast forward to 2019 where I developed a love for Bodybulding. I competed in the sport at an ameteur level

 

Rising stars of Africa have been dealt a bad hand. Most of their funding is heavily reliant on their interns flying from overseas and partaking in their programs. Due to inconsistent travel barriers, interns have not being so frequent and therefore a lack of income has created problems for the young Footballers.

 

Some of the issues are:

 

What I would like to do is compete again in Bodybuilding but do it for a purposeful reason: to raise money for the Rising Starts of Africa Academy.

 

I intend on competing in September 2022 in the United Kingdom Drug Free Bodybuilding Association (UKDFBA) for the financial goal of £5,000
