Happy new month to each and everyone, may this new month be a blessing to each and everyone of us. Since it's a new month, one good way to know if you are progressing in life is to always keep a record of your achievements, regardless of how small they are. The worst part is when you are not trying at all. I but if you are trying, regardless of how small your achievements can be, it means you are still putting your best to make it big.
Last month which is April happens to be one of the month I have ever achieved something great in my life, not just great but also gives me the best name.As of this February, when I was called that my athletes would be going to the World University Games trial, that made me a bit nervous because I know how tough it is going to be and since everyone wants to qualify for the World Games. They won't mind putting everything they had to win. I summoned my courage and put in my best to train my athletes; we started training morning and evening, with no rest.
The competition was to scheduled last month which is April 6th to 12th.To cut the long story short, we travelled on the 5th of April because the journey is 24 hours journey, which makes it two days, because of stop over and sleep over.I've never traveled that far before; the journey was both exhausting and interesting; we got to the venue. It was last month that I met with lots of people. Well, I've been meeting people, but then these are different. I was able to mingle well, despite the fact that I was busy. These people are so nice and so easy to talk to. Unlike my side.
After a few days of staying in the camp, the real competition started. In my school, we went with other spots: badminton, swimming, judo, and karate. But I was more focused on taekwondo because I'm their coach.
God is good; all my athletes fought, and all of them entered finals. Three of my athletes won gold, and the rest of the two won silver. But the gold is the only one going to Germany. I've been coaching for a while now, but this is the first time in my life that I will provide athletes who will be going outside my country to represent my country in another country.
It takes a lot of hard to have just one athletes to represent a country, now imagine me producing three athletes to represent Nigeria in Germany.This achievement, makes me happy and the best part of it all is that. I was the only coach that produced three athletes throughout the whole university in Nigeria. How does that even sound, I mean this is a great achievement for me so far.
April still happens to be my best month so far. In April, I have traveled, eats, enjoy, partied. Have lots of fun and still achieve a lot. I was able to put my university in the world map, for the first time in history. I believe May will be the best.
