AHMADOU KEITA

Welcome to the AKdémie Grand Est. I came back to Nancy where I spent four beautiful professional years. It is here that I have flourished the most. It is also a nod to my past as a player and it was logical that I created my academy in this city, to offer it in turn, all the happiness it has brought me. Back to my region of heart, with my diploma of trainer BEES 2nd degree, I wanted to transmit to the young people of the region, all the beautiful virtues that basketball brings.

In addition to my camps, I wished to bring alternative solutions to the current institutions, as regards training. My project is educational and is based on the positive values that basketball conveys and that I wish, more than ever, to transmit to the youngest.

The project comes from an observation. First of all, a father. A father who asks himself questions. Where to register my child so that he can practice his favorite sport and continue his education? A place where he will be safe, well supervised and where he will be able to have fun. But also a place where they can compete with the best and develop a competitive spirit. This last thought leads to the concerns of a former top athlete. How to best accompany a child who wants to reach the highest level?

The aim of the approach is not to revolutionize the current institutions, but to propose a solution that is more adapted to our time. The world is changing and alternative solutions must be proposed to complement and accompany the current system.
