How to become the hope of a billion | Akwasi Frimpong | TEDxAlkmaar

International athlete Akwasi Frimpong made history in 2018 when he became the first Skeleton athlete from Ghana. Akwasi was just the second Winter Olympian from Ghana. Now, he wants to use his passion and his own inspirational story to represent not just a country, but a continent. Akwasi believes what you need for success is already planted deep down inside of you. He believes success comes from believing in yourself with a positive attitude combined with hard work and persistence. It is that positive attitude Akwasi will use to fuel him to become Africa’s first Winter Olympics medalist and along the way inspire everyone to overcome their own adversity with courage.

Akwasi Frimpong is one of the most awesome heroes you could ever have chosen to grace your stage. He's such a blessing to millions at the moment and I've no doubt it will be a billion if not more in the future. We've been blessed to have Akwasi share his story for Orphans and the Fatherless and know without doubt that he is making a massive difference. - Jason Barnett
