Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Monrovia \u2014 Former Liberia Football Association Executive Committee Member Rochell Woodson, who has been advocating for the betterment of women\u2019s football and Liberian football at large, has earned a Master\u2019s degree in Sports Management.<\/p>\n

Madam Woodson, who has her eyes set on the presidency of the LFA, was among several students who graduated from Northeastern University, College of Professional Studies on May 8th, with a master\u2019s in sports leadership.<\/p>\n

The former LFA Executive Committee Member was expelled by then-President Musa Bility for her stance on the poor leadership within the FA. She took her case to the Court for Arbitration for Sports and won.<\/p>\n

She later ran for Vice President for Administration of the Liberian Football Association but was defeated by Sekou W. Konneh. Considered the iron lady of Liberian football, Rochell Gbappoh Deconte Kumba Woodson has been involved with sports in the country at both the male and female levels.<\/p>\n

Speaking to FrontPage Africa, Rochell said she is happy to have earned a Master\u2019s degree in Sports Management after a difficult and challenging time. \u201cI am happy to be receiving a Master\u2019s degree today in Sports Management. I have always been focused on working to develop sports in Liberia and want other women to involve themselves,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

According to her, she hopes her accomplishment will inspire other women and football enthusiasts to understand the importance of combining education with football. \u201cI think the biggest thing that I will say is you can do anything you put your mind to. When I decided to pursue sports management, things were not going the right way from the beginning, but I made it due to my focus and determination,\u201d Woodson said.<\/p>\n

Apart from her latest Master\u2019s degree in Sports Management, she holds a Master\u2019s in Public Administration from the University of Liberia, a Post Graduate Degree in Contemporary International Relations from the Gabriel A. Dennis Foreign Institute. She is a former women\u2019s national team basketball player, former LFA Executive Committee Member, former FIFA Women\u2019s Committee Member, former CAF Match Commissioner, former president of the World Girls Football Club, and presently serving as Vice President of Nimba Girls Football Club based in Saniquelle. She worked with the United Nations Mission in Liberia for over 10 years as an Administrative Assistant in the Human Rights and Protection Section, and she also served two terms as the National Staff Association President of UNMIL. Madam Woodson has been involved with sports for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n

Rochell G.D. Woodson is the daughter of the late Hon. Roger B. Woodson, former Managing Director of Liberia Water & Sewer Corporation, and former Development Superintendent of Nimba County.<\/p>\n
