As a footballer, I know I am a role model for a lot of African kids, and I want to make a direct impact on their lives.

There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

There is no human-resources training for how to respond when you work for an unpredictable president. It's perhaps fitting that when you visit the website of the White House Office of Administration it says, 'Check back soon for more information.'

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this career of mine.
