Introduction to Boxing: I was not into Boxing I used to play soccer at school.  One day a friend invited me over to Sbongile Boxing Family in 2013, they welcomed me with very warm hands and love I felt like I belong there because of its uniqueness. I fell in love with it because of the love and dedication that coaches had towards their athletes, I felt at home. Coaches always ensured that every athlete produce good results and we stay away from all the wrong doings that young people do e.g drugs. Boxing is like a “Calling” to me, what I also like about Boxing is that it an Individual sport win and loss is in your hand.

Importance of EADP to me: EADP has played a huge role in my life as a young athlete who comes from a small gym “Sbongile Boxing Family” with shortage of resources.  EADP has just made my Boxing life much easier by providing me with all the resources and services that any athlete could dream of.  I am grateful to be part of the EADP programme.
