In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Asamoah Gyan sought to explain that through his career, he has gained much experience and knowledge that can help develop sports in the country.

"I always ask myself, how do we create change if we don't want to change? How do we spectate without being on the bench and how do we score without being on the field?

"How do we pass on the baton to the next generation if we don't share our experience? How do we achieve without a clear path ahead? I believe that with collective experiences, we can orient the next generation to do better than what we did. We can give hope where hope is lost and we can inspire when all hope seems lost," excerpts of his post read.
