Growing up in a sports-loving family, 17-year-old Fortunate Emechete tried her hand and feet at different sports and was good at them, but she never really felt like she had found the sport for her until she started playing basketball.
Emechete’s story begins in Ekiti State, where she was born to parents from Delta State and grew up in Daillimore Street, Ado-Ekiti.
She told PUNCH Sports Extra about her foray into athletics, judo, taekwondo and even cricket.
