What Our ATHELETES say
Being part of the GBT Mongoose team, I’ve learnt how to be disciplined, keep commitments, and concentrate. I have gained self-confidence. It has also taught me to respect and manage time. GBT Mongoose has shown me that you have to earn things that you're passionate about. It has given me the will to focus on team building, good sportsmanship, confidence in myself, and a positive attitude towards the game.
- OD (Odinga)
