A popular dancer and a member of the Dance with a Purpose Academy has revealed she had to quit football to pursue dancing due to sexual advances made at her by coaches.
Endurance Grand grew up in Nigeria where she played for a professional league team before moving back to the land of her birth, Ghana, to continue pursuing her football dreams with Anlo Ladies in the Volta Region.
Speaking to the graceful Deloris Frimpong Manso in an interview, the talented dancer alleged coaches she encountered wanted more from her; “I used to play football in Nigeria and Ghana. I was a professional but the on the national team level. I played for Anlo Ladies in the Volta Region and a league team in Nigeria.”
She added, “I stopped playing not because it wasn’t working for me. It didn’t work; not because I’m not a great footballer. I think you might have the talent to do something then it is not your purpose. I faced a lot of challenges from coaches, from higher authorities that wanted to make advances; they wanted to get into my pants to get me to the top and that wasn’t me.”
