A Special Interview with Coach Akindele Peter of Nigeria
Coach: It feels great to be a part of this life changing program. My true vision is for these kids to be accomplished in athletics, while attaining great academics, come back home and take African Athletics to the next level in the not too distant future.
CR: How does it feel knowing that, in most circles of the basketball world, people say you’re the “Phil Jackson of African Basketball”?
Coach: I feel flattered, in this regard, but this give me the urge to do more and work harder to take African Basketball to the level where it will be a force to reckon with.
CR: Advise me, your new found friend and brother, on how to come home to the Motherland.
Coach: Just go through the right channels with the proper travel documentations and we would be happy to welcome you home.
