The theme and aim of the tour is to, “inspire our youth to become their own heroes”.

With school children as the target audience, Coventry will be holding one-hour motivational talks to motivate the youth to strive for excellence in their respective career choices.

The exact venues will be announced tomorrow with towns and cities, Bulawayo, Bindura, Chinhoyi, Gwanda, Gweru, Harare, Marondera, Masvingo, Mutare and Zvishavane confirmed to host the country’s-greatest ever Olympian.

As a national sporting icon, Coventry has a grand influence and she often shows her motivational qualities via social networks.

Earlier this month on Facebook, she stated: “We all possess strengths and have learnt valuable lessons throughout our lives.

This will equip us with the tools we need to be successful. We must figure out which tools we take along on our journey and which tools we leave behind.

“We are always learning and with technology today, we are forever updating. We need to know our strengths, keep them with us and then borrow a few new tools that will develop our weaknesses.” Coventry, currently in Switzerland, will return to Zimbabwe this week.
