Coaches wanted to sleep with me so I quit – Popular female dancer reveals why she stopped football (Watch Video)
Endurance Grand, a member of the dance crew Dance With a Purpose Academy, revealed in an interview with Deloris Frimpong Manso that, despite her talent in football, she was forced to abandon her aspirations of becoming a professional footballer due to unwanted advances made by certain coaches and individuals in positions of power.
Despite being a talented footballer, Endurance faced numerous challenges from coaches and higher authorities who wanted to make advances on her.
However, she refused to compromise her values and sexuality, stating that she is “into men” and is a tomboy who occasionally dresses feminine for work. Endurance is currently single and not looking to date.
“I’ve always been conformable in guys’ stuff. It’s not because I used to play football but this is how I love dressing,” she noted. “I just love wearing masculine stuff.”
“I used to play football in Nigeria and Ghana, I was a professional but not on the national team level. I played Anlo Ladies in the Volta Region and a league team in Nigeria.”
“I stopped playing 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 but then it’s 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,” Endurance claimed.
“They have that stereotype. I’m straight, I’m straight as an uncooked spaghetti. There are guys that like women who dress like men,” she said, adding that she is a tomboy.
“I don’t dress like this all the time. Sometimes, the work I do makes me go out of my comfort zone to dress feminine,” said Endurance who is “currently single and not ready to mingle”.
