In today’s episode of Mac’s Access, Mackenzie sits down with new signing Amadou Kone! They discuss his  his first professional appearance with Forge and his university career at Carleton. Mackenzie asks some fun get-to-know-you style questions including his worst fear and bingeworthy TV shows.

Key takeaways: 

• His goal was always to play professional but Amadou was not expecting to get drafted to the CPL as early as he did. 
• His living situation with Daniel Parra and Benni Badibanga is the perfect dynamic.
•  Amadou grew up as a Chelsea fan, loves Samuel L. Jackson, and only listens to French music pre-game.
• After starting his professional career, Amadou knows he has the ability but notices the jump for the USPORTS “Player’s a sharp here every day, that’s the difference”
