FEMMCO 01 Championship: Disciple FA, Sharp Striker FA and Rakel FA Emerge August Camping Champions<\/a><\/p>\nSpeaking in an interview with SPORTS247 during the championship, the young tactician admitted that Disciple FA were tactically more mature in the final and made it difficult for his team to penetrate their defence.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great game with good performances from my team, but our opponents were much more tactically mature than my players. It was very hard to penetrate their defence,\u201d Godwin said.<\/p>\n
Rather than dwell on the defeat, the coach believes the experience will provide important lessons for his players as they continue their development.<\/p>\n
\u201cOverall, it was a good game for my players and I know we will take the lessons learnt here and do well in subsequent competitions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Godwin also disclosed his long-term ambition of seeing his players move beyond the grassroots football scene in Ifo and secure opportunities with bigger academies and clubs.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy plan in the next one or two years for my players is that they are outside Ifo playing in better teams like Beyond Limits, Sporting Lagos etc. and displaying their tremendous skillset and talent,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Explaining the transition from Apakose to Authority FA, Godwin said the new name is connected to his identity and represents the new brand of his team.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, his impressive work was recognised at the championship as he was named the Best Coach in the U-10 category.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the honour, Godwin expressed gratitude for the recognition and opportunity to showcase his coaching abilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t really say much about it, but I am really grateful to God for the opportunity and recognition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The young coach also acknowledged the influence of experienced grassroots football coaches, particularly Coach FEMMCO and Coach Fortune, whom he considers mentors.<\/p>\n
\u201cI try as much as possible to train the boys immensely and try to emulate coaches like Oluwafemi Adebayo Oladehinde and Onaolapo Micheal of Femmco FA and Fortune FA respectively are mentors,\u201d Godwin added.<\/p>\n
With his focus on player development and his ambition to expose his youngsters to bigger football opportunities, Godwin is positioning Authority FA as another promising pathway for Ifo\u2019s next generation of football talents.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
