| King Lebron James Zoning Out to Read a Book Credit: Spekuliantias |
I
attended a basketball league finale recently in Abuja and found out that a
couple of the players could not (properly) write their names.
It got me
thinking about the number of athletes in the country who are not formally
educated and what it means for their career and growth.
So, I sat
with Abe Onche, a basketball aficionado, to discuss why formal education is
important for athletes.
This is a
3-part series.
Listen to
the discussion in the links below!
In the
first part of our discussion, we looked at models like High School Basketball, College
Basketball and the NBA and how, if applied to our Nigerian system, can
contribute to developing better educated athletes.
The
conversation continues here.
To
conclude our series on Why Athletes Need
Formal Education, Abe has a couple of statements for the society,
government, families, schooling system and the athletes themselves.
These
points are salient and you can contribute by telling us why you think athletes
need formal education.
