The 4D's-S4D: From podium-finish obsession to sustainable productivity, a new roadmap for African and global sport.For too long, Nigeria, Africa, and much of the Global South have mistaken competition for development, planning for strategy, and podium finishes for productivity. The result: abundant talent wasted, emerging sports neglected, and opportunities for true transformation missed.In The 4D's-S4D Strategy, IOC-certified sports management expert Dr. Armstrong Ogwuche offers a bold framework that redefines sport as an engine for productivity, sustainability, and nation-building. Drawing on decades of experience as an athlete, coach, administrator, and strategist and still competing at elite levels at 50, Dr. Ogwuche combines lived insight with global best practices (IOC, FIFA, NBA Africa, WBSC Africa, South African Rugby, Jamaica, Kenya, Brazil, China) to provide both a manifesto for change and a manual for practice.At the heart of the book is the 4D's-S4D Framework... Design, Development, Deployment, and Dissolution, a strategic model that helps stakeholders envision, build, implement, and renew sporting systems. Alongside it, Dr. Ogwuche integrates proven sports science and management tools: the Four Pillars of Preparation, FTEM Athlete Development Pathway, Tuckman Team Model, and the Four Phases of Planning.This is not a book about abandoning football or chasing medals alone. It is a call to broaden the base, diversify sporting investment, and create level playing fields where new codes and talents can thrive.Practical, inspiring, and deeply rooted in African realities, The S4D Strategy is written for: Coaches seeking to shape athletes beyond performance.Policymakers eager to reposition sport as industry.Administrators tasked with governance and sustainability.Students and educators of sports and physical education.The 4D'D-S4D Strategy is more than a book. It is a playbook for transforming sport into a driver of productivity, unity, and national transformation.
