A Journey Beyond the Pitch

The Rodney Strasser Foundation recently had the privilege of connecting with Augustus Kargbo, Sierra Leone national team player and Blackburn Rovers talent. From training sessions to one-on-one conversations, the visit went far beyond football—it was about growth, mentorship, and building a vision for the future.

During the exchange, experiences were shared—the highs, the struggles, and the lessons learned—while also listening to Augustus’s inspiring journey as both a club and national team player. His commitment to personal growth and to proudly representing Sierra Leone was truly motivating.

The Foundation also held meaningful discussions with the Blackburn Rovers director and coach, focusing on football development, the role of education, and the importance of creating opportunities for the next generation of players. It was clear to see how valued Augustus is within the club, both on and off the pitch.

Another important topic of discussion was Sierra Leone’s upcoming World Cup Qualifier—a monumental moment for our nation.

Moments like these highlight the power of mentorship and collaboration. At the Rodney Strasser Foundation, we believe football is more than just today’s game—it is about shaping a better tomorrow for our youth, our clubs, and our nation.
