LEADERS OF UNITES NO. 127 - Abel Ackon Mohammed
From Ghana to Amsterdam, his journey has been defined by one thing: the courage to start over. 
Abel moved to the Netherlands at 16, leaving friends and a life behind in search of new opportunities. He wasn’t the most talented basketball player, and didn’t know a thing about cameras, but if there is one thing he has learned, it’s that effort outweighs talent every single time.

Through Abel found more than just a sport—he found a platform to grow. From learning how to lead and communicate with the youth to mastering the art of filmmaking at the Audio Visual Academy and Unites, every challenge has been a stepping stone.

Today, Abel is not just a student or a leader; He is contributor. His goal is to give back to the community that gave him a chance. To everyone out there doubting their start: stay persistent. The opportunity is there if you’re willing to put in the work.

A golden night at the 3X3 Unites Academy! ✨📖

Yesterday, Olympic gold medalist and author took our 3X3 Leaders behind the scenes of their brand-new book Goud, a story rooted in the Bijlmer and written for anyone chasing their own “gold.” 🥇

They opened up about mindset, identity, creativity, culture, and the power of opportunity. What followed was a real and inspiring conversation about ambition and the drive to keep going. 🙌

The night closed with a Q&A, signed books, and a whole lot of motivation to fuel our own journeys. And then the energy flipped into full competitive mode as everyone hit the court and started ballin’. 🔥🏀

A night full of community, inspiration, and stories that matter. ❤️

LEADERS OF UNITES NO. 126 // THIJS MICHIELSEN

Thijs spent his childhood living in different countries, and during his family’s time in Portland he was first introduced to basketball. Moving around taught him to adapt quickly, and later he learned the importance of speaking up and communicating in friendships.

He went on to play at a high level in his youth, but after a cruciate ligament injury he eventually stepped away from the game and searched for new direction. Connecting with 3X3 Unites gave him that spark again. In Haarlem, he helped set up a 3X3 Leader Course, completed it himself, and organized the 3X3 Street League as the final event.

The course reminded him how basketball builds trust, teamwork and initiative. Today, Thijs coordinates programs in several cities and teaches Leader Courses, grateful to make an impact through the sport again.

Check out his full story via the link in bio & drop some love in the comments!
